How many times have we watched films in which the main character suddenly appears on the screen and produces a wow effect. The outfit, jewelry, hairstyle, makeup - everything is impeccable. The frame is imprinted in the memory, and then we search the Internet for a long time "that same green dress" or a pendant, like that of "that actress". Why not repeat the image from your favorite movie on New Year's Eve?
We have selected the top 10 most spectacular outputs of the main characters. Try to repeat, and at the same time revisit films, many of which have already become classics!
Keira Knightley, Atonement
A stunningly elegant emerald dress, which, perhaps, has even been seen by those who have not watched the film itself. The creator of the outfit is Oscar-winning costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who has created looks for such famous costume dramas as Pride and Prejudice and Anna Karenina.
A silk dress with thin spaghetti straps is the perfect outfit for those with fragile collarbones and graceful shoulders. The deep shades of precious stones look as impressive as possible: emerald, like in the film, ruby, sapphire ... In this way, it is important not to overdo it with jewelry: the designers of the film limited themselves to rigid bracelets on one arm. If sparkle is not enough for you, add either diamond stud earrings or the finest chain with a stone pendant. But just one thing!
Carey Mulligan, The Great Gatsby
Art Deco is one of the most visually effective styles not only in fashion but also in jewelry. Placers of precious stones, fancy decor combined with geometry of complex shapes (rhombuses, trapezoids) and absolute permissiveness. It is not for nothing that the 20s in America are called "golden" and "roaring": champagne, jazz, gold and endless parties. All this is perfectly shown in the film based on Fitzgerald's iconic novel The Great Gatsby.
Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan changes outfit after outfit, but this powdery pink dress embroidered with crystals is truly famous! It is easy to choose a piece of jewelry for such an outfit. Firstly, do not be afraid to overload the image, because the Art Deco style is not a style for the modest.
Secondly, rely on elegant pearls and large crystals of cold shades. Thirdly, choose motifs of flora and fauna (flowers, plants, feathers, birds), they match the style and always look very impressive.
Marilyn Monroe, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
Absolutely all the outfits in which the incomparable Marilyn appeared on the screen became cult. All women in the world, from schoolgirls to housewives, wanted to imitate her. One of the most striking images - a pink evening dress from the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." It was created by famed costume designer William Travilla, who has worked on 8 films with Marilyn. Since its debut on the big screen, the dress has been featured in a variety of cultural references and parodies, including Madonna's music video for the song "Material Girl".
The iconic shocking pink is paired with the dazzling shine of a diamond necklace and layered bracelets on both arms. If the extravagance of such an outfit is scary, then we recommend limiting yourself to slightly less accent jewelry. For example, you can only wear a necklace.
Dakota Johnson, Fifty Shades Darker
Monique Lhuillier gown in the style of the golden Hollywood of the 30s, in which Dakota Johnson as Anastacia Steele appears at the masquerade ball. Silk of a cold silver-blue shade elegantly flowing over the figure looks incredibly impressive, and in combination with a mask and a cape of feathers - well, just a ready-made outfit for a festive night.
True, the image is already overloaded with details and textures, so jewelry should be chosen as elegant and unobtrusive as possible. The film designers limited themselves to thin thread earrings. And we are very supportive of this choice!
Jennifer Lawrence, The American Scam
Another sexy evening dress in a light shade is Jennifer Lawrence's outfit in American Scam. In general, the work on the costumes in this film deserves special attention, because absolutely every detail conveys not only the atmosphere of that era, but also the mood and way of thinking of the character. The film uses a lot of vintage clothing and accessories, and even specially recreates the popular Maidenform underwear of the time.
The image of Jennifer Lawrence is clearly not a moderate classic. This is a festive, daring and even defiant outfit for those who want to be in the spotlight on a festive night. The main distinguishing feature of the outfit is the combination of different metallic shades: silver and gold.
The cool color of the dress contrasts with the jewelry and accessories in the yellow gold tone. Complete the intricate and long earrings with a chain bracelet and an accent clutch to match. Don't want to stand out? Then replace the jewelry with those that match the color of the dress and reduce their number, earrings alone will be enough.
Angelina Jolie, "The Tourist"
Pretty Jolie changes one elegant outfit after another in the film, so it was difficult for us to even choose! But, perhaps, all the same, this pearl-colored silk dress is our favorite. Quite conservative boat neckline, long sleeves, no neckline or revealing necklines. At the same time, the dress does not look pretentious or boring, it is very impressive and seductive.
Of the jewelry, the emphasis is on flower-shaped earrings with three large petal stones. A classic jeweled ring and an almost invisible wrist chain complete the sleek, feminine look. If you want to make the look a little less formal, choose a dress with a three-quarter skirt rather than a floor length.
Teri Hatcher, Tomorrow Never Dies
Few people remember that the star of "Desperate Housewives" Teri Hatcher in her youth was the fatal girl of Bond, but "that very" silver dress is almost impossible to forget. The thinnest shiny material fits the figure perfectly, thin straps reveal the shoulders, neck and collarbones. The most amazing thing is that the film was filmed in 1998, and the dress looks fashionable now.
Costume designers opted for no less sparkling accessories - a bracelet and earrings with large inserts, but we recommend leaving the emphasis on the dress, and choosing more laconic jewelry, with a minimum of decor, from metal to match. For example, a chain bracelet and geometric stud earrings can be asymmetrical, so the image will become even more fashionable.
Sarah-Jessica Parker, Sex and the City
At least one outfit of "great and terrible" fashionista Carrie Bradshaw should have appeared on this list. Patricia Field, who dressed the main characters of the TV series "Sex and the City", is certainly a very talented stylist, so it was not easy to choose. We ended up with this vintage white dress with a flower, an exact replica of Whitney Houston's 1987 Life magazine cover.
In fact, it is not so difficult to repeat the aesthetics of such an outfit: we choose a dress with one shoulder, and instead of a flower we attach a large brooch of a similar shape. And what a perfect selection of jewelry! A wide, simple bracelet on the wrist and barely noticeable gold studs in the ears, bright classics regardless of the season.
Blake Lively, "Gossip Girl"
If Sex and the City became the fashion bible for 30-year-olds, then Gossip Girl influenced the tastes of younger generations. At some point, absolutely all the girls split into two camps: some wanted to dress like Blair's “excellent student,” others like Serena, the “rebel”. Stylist Eric Daman (by the way, he started his career with Sex and the City) successfully combined all fashion trends in one look, was not afraid of even the most controversial trends and combined Valentino with the mass market, due to which he won the love of young people.
For our selection, we have chosen a glamorous outfit in which the heroine Blake Lively appeared at a party in the style of "Studio-54". The image reminds of Jane Fonda and the disco era, and looks as festive as possible. Want to stand out one hundred percent? Then complement the gold dress with massive jewelry to match and a voluminous hairstyle. For a more modest look, there will be a remnant of classic hoop earrings.
Cameron Diaz, The Mask
21-year-old model Cameron Diaz became a movie star of the first magnitude after her role as a jazz singer in the movie "The Mask". “Hot little thing” - this is how the girl was nicknamed in the press and they were not mistaken: Diaz gave Hollywood the heat in all the highest-grossing melodramas and comedies for more than a dozen years. But her first appearance on the big screen in this red dress became truly iconic.
A scarlet cocktail dress is the perfect choice for an evening out. Despite all the simplicity, this outfit looks very festive and fashionable (there are such outfits out of time). Take an example from the beauty Cameron and complement the image with delicate jewelry: a pendant with neat charm and graceful earrings.
