22 Iconic Dresses in Cinema

Cinema is inextricably linked with the world of fashion. It happens that the plot and performance of the actors do not make a strong impression, but the image created by the costume designer, the stylist, is simply mesmerizing. I have included 22 dresses in this collection.

Grace Kelly, "To Catch a Thief", 1954.

The outfits for this film were created by the costume designer Edith Head — the Hollywood legend (8 Oscar Awards).

Kristen Stewart, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", 2011.

A romantic, elegant wedding dress with back cutout by famous American designer Carolina Herrera.

Elizabeth Taylor, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", 1958.

A silk slip dress became very popular after the release of the film on the screen.

Marilyn Monroe, "Niagara",1953.

Monroe's dresses in "Niagara" are the most sexual in the history of her biography. All the looks from the film were designed by Dorothy Jenkins. A bright pink sheath dress has become very popular, copies of the dresses were snapped up in department stores of America.

A quote from the movie:

"Why don't you wear such dresses?

— To wear them, you have to plan your life since 13!"

Liza Minnelli, "Cabaret", 1972.

A skimpy outfit: a bowler hat, a waistcoat on a naked body, shorts with high waist, stockings and boots. This image is familiar even to those who have not watched the "Cabaret" movie.

The white dress with pleated skirt, flying up from the flow of air from an air grid, is one of the most recognizable and publicized dresses.

The costume and set designer Cecil Beaton received an Oscar for a dress created for Audrey Hepburn — "My Fair Lady" movie, 1964. The white silk dress is covered with lace, trimmed with black and white accents and bows. A big hat with flowers, a bow and feathers completes the look.

Another outfit, which became one of the most recognizable and stylish.
