Some of the great films of the 20th century had legendary designers working on the costumes. Here is a look back at some of the most stylish films over the past century.
The Fifth Element (1997)
Jean Paul Gaultier designed the eccentric sci-fi uniforms in The Fifth Element. His out-of-this-world vision of fashion complimented the movie’s aesthetic perfectly.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
Givenchy was responsible for Audrey Hepburn’s iconic look in the even more iconic Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Lady Gaga wore the same necklace Hepburn wore at the Oscars 2019.
Last Year in Marienbad (1961)
Coco Chanel was the iconic designer behind Delphine Seyrig’s signature costume in Last Year in Marienbad. The dresses she wears throughout the film are divine.
Barbarella (1968)
Paco Rabanne has an eye for futuristic fashion. His vision of Jane Fonda’s sleek astronaut look is nothing less than stylish.
Black Panther (2018)
In 2019, Ruth E. Carter took home the Academy Award for Best Costume Design thanks to her meticulous work on Black Panther. Her African film-noir vision of Wakanda fashion is stunning.
