Claire - The Breakfast Club (Molly Ringwald)
The Breakfast Club (John Hughes, 1985) is an 80s classic. Molly Ringwald portrays the 'princess' in the film, Claire, and in my opinion her style is iconic, but in a subtle way.
Obviously she only wore one outfit in this film, but this one outfit is quite a statement. She wears a brown pencil skirt and brown boots on the bottom, which are quite dull in colour ranges, but the oversized pink v neck on top balances this out well, still keeping her girly character.
The huge leather jacket she wears over this outfit gives a very relaxed 80s vibe, contrasting with her feminine outfit and hair. I love how wearable this look is, and will always be one of my favourites.
Penny Lane - Almost Famous (Kate Hudson)
Almost Famous (Cameron Crowe, 2000) is an absolute must for any 60s/70s music fan, and anyone in general, really. This film is beautifully made and has a definite 70s hazy feel to it.
Kate Hudson plays the brilliant Penny Lane in the film, and her statement item is a jacket with a fur collar, and the John Lennon- esque sunglasses.
She is bare faced but beautiful in this film, with cork-screw curls, and a really cool attitude.
Jo - Funny Face (Audrey Hepburn)
Ah yes, Audrey Hepburn. Well, I was going to discuss Breakfast at Tiffanys, but I thought that would be a bit cliche.
Funny Face (1957) is a lovely film/musical, and even though clearly very 1950s, is timeless. Audrey's style in this film is just perfect.
At the beginning she is natural and boyish, embracing her slim frame, but as the film progresses we see a number of iconic gowns and suits, and she can pull them all off.
Her character is the perfect mix of intelligence and beauty, and shows the versatility of her style.
At the time she had full, brilliant eyebrows, and her eyes were made to look very big and pretty, and this balanced out her boyish (at times) look in the film very well.
Jordana Bevan - Submarine (Yasmin Paige)
Submarine (Richard Ayoade, 2010) is wonderful. It is very detailed and beautifully filmed, and is unique as it is not set in a certain year, which makes it very current and timeless.
Jordana Bevan is played by Yasmin Paige, and is a very moody character, which is a contrast from the eager but strange Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts).
Her style in the film is very simple but is a statement, for instance, her bright red coat, with black clothes underneath, and a general dark colour range. Her image is very vintage too, and her hair is very basic and short, giving a vintage vibe.
Her style is very simple in all honesty, and character is very realistic and relatable. I think her style is very easy to recreate, but also unique enough to appreciate and for it to stand out.
