On the more aspirational side, I echo Grace in Rear Window and also love Barbara in Double Indemnity (but not Stella Dallas, wink wink, though that animal stole is the best iykwim). I love anything 40s and 50s with those full skirts and fit and flare dresses.

I recently rented that new Diane Keaton-Robert DeNiro movie "The Big Wedding". Even nice clothes couldn't save that movie what a stinker! It should be called The Big Disaster. Why do big stars make terrible movies? I turned it off after 20 minutes.<br />Anyway I think you have all the greats listed here already, though I have to say I always liked Molly Ringwald's wardrobes in the John Hughes movies she did as a teenager.DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-79789200492795976832013-10-23T11:52:11.932-03:002013-10-23T11:52:11.932-03:00Patricia, I loved that film, those New York apartm...Patricia, I loved that film, those New York apartments are just stunning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-21730581198104488632013-10-23T11:51:54.734-03:002013-10-23T11:51:54.734-03:00Grace Kelly in Rear Window is also my favourite mo...Grace Kelly in Rear Window is also my favourite movie wardrobe.<br />I just watched You've Got Mail about a month ago, it is hilarious how dated it seems with the old computers!

Okay, so these are a bit expected since it is Robin Wright Penn and Audrey Hepburn, but swoon. I had always said I wanted those dresses for my own wedding dress, but then turned around and <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bXW8Wa7KMhY/TbrgSq7SGRI/AAAAAAAADp0/UX7v9FDM-og/s1600/dina+at+wedding.jpg" rel="nofollow">chose this dress instead</a>, so much more minimal.
