Favorite Movie looks in honor or Oscar Week

Since the biggest night for movies is this Sunday, I thought I would present some of my favorite movie styles in honor of the big night. Oscar nominated or not, I always look to film for inspiration because a style can tell a story.

Who doesn't love a little black dress? Thanks to the late Audrey Hepburn for making Givency a household name, and making girls all around the world want to stand in front of a jewelry store, while  wearing a couture gown, drink a pipping hot latte and eating a morning pastry.

This movie showed everything that was great about New York in the 60's. From Oversized coats, opaque tights, wide brim hats, and of course Andy Warhol, how could you not be intoxicated by the glamour. Edie had a very specific style which corresponded with the times and wanted nothing more in life than to be a superstar.

I applauded for Andy when she went glided through that room with her thigh highs and Chanel blazer. She showed that she is capable of much more than what she was percieved at the beginning of the film. This is very modern day fashion and gives a "sneek peak" of what goes on behind closed doors.

"As If!" Cher from clueless had a 90's prep style that strayed very much away from the typical grunge aspect of that decade. She had an eye for the staple pieces, (sheer blouses, knee high socks, blazers, pleated mini skirts). From the iconic pieces of style to the obiviously dated but still hilarious lines, this film is a sure guilty pleasure.

Drew Barrymore's look in Scream had the looks of a wholesome girl next door. With the shoulder length blonde bob, chunky sweater and all around sweet and naiive dispostion, it's terrible she only lasted 10 mins in the movie, only to have her throat ripped to shreds by the terrfiying ghost face. Other than that, we can remember her character for her effortless down to earth style.
