5 Underrated Cinema Style Icons. Here’s why you should know about them

As for the style icons of world cinema, Carrie Bradshaw or Samantha Jones from Sex and the City, Rachel Green from Friends, Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction, Andrea Sachs from The Devil Wears Prada or Cher Horowitz from Clueless (by the way, here ), it is worth adding that this is Kim Kardashian’s favorite movie). Fashion influencers are inspired by the images of these iconic heroines, street style heroes quote them, and editors of the most reliable glossy publications talk about them. And it’s not surprising – the girls above all dress very cool.

But the list of stylish characters in movies and TV series does not end there. There are many more actresses whose on-screen appearances are unfairly underestimated. But in vain! Today we decided to rectify this situation and pay tribute to the less popular heroes from the movies.

In our new material, we collected the editors’ personal top 5, and also told why everyone should take a closer look at the style of these girls.

Lily van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl

We’re sure that when you watched Gossip Girl, you paid more attention to the characters of Sirena van der Woodsen and the ongoing drama of Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass. But he looked at Lily van der Woodsen without much inspiration. Well, if you again turn on the series about the main gossips of Manhattan, you will definitely be pleased with the images of this hero. Throughout the seasons, Kelly Rutherford’s character appears with a simple but very stylish look that can be attributed to the Old Money aesthetic (which everyone was talking about last year). More precisely, to its branch codenamed Rich-Mom Energy.

Lily shows you how to pair simple gray cardigans, beige sweaters, cashmere scarves, and perfectly tailored suits. And she does it with such ease and ease that you want to repeat every outfit.

Phoebe Buffay from Friends

We have already talked about the secrets of Rachel Green’s style and Monica Geller’s trendy images. But we skipped Phoebe Buffay for some reason. It’s time to rectify the situation. Pheebs (as his friends called him) never tried to follow trends, always dressed very brightly and never worried about what others would say. And this is its main feature.

The heroine of “Friends” can wear a colorful patterned skirt, colorful clogs and complement her look with beads or plastic bracelets. The aesthetic that Phoebe follows to some extent is now called Weird Girl, and its main adherents are Bella Hadid and Iris Lowe. Do you agree, is there any common ground?

Elvira Hancock from Scarface

Michelle Pfeiffer in the cult movie “Scarface” is the true embodiment of the mob wife aesthetic (which went viral last fall). Throughout his film, Brian De Palma wears sexy briefs with very deep necklines (we counted four dresses of this style in the entire film), silk pajama sets and very tight suits with skirts, and he does not forget his hairstyle codenamed “just”. from the pool.”, perfect manicure and cigarette (we remind you that smoking believes in health!). Despite the fact that the crime drama was released more than 40 years ago, all images of the heroine Michelle Pfeiffer look current.

Margot Tenenbaum of the Tenenbaums

Another underrated cinematic style icon is Margot Tenenbaum in Wes Anderson’s The Tenenbaums. True, there is an important clarification here: Gwyneth Paltrow’s heroine is underestimated not only among the public, but designers, on the contrary, often refer to her images. For example, we saw homage to Margot’s iconic clothes in the collections of Gucci, Lacoste, Miu Miu, Michael Kors and many other brands. This clear impact on the industry contributed to the emergence of the concept of the “Margot Tenenbaum Effect.”

So what does a movie hero wear? In the wardrobe of Wes Anderson’s favorite rebel, you can find a Fendi mink coat, striped polo pants, classic loafers, colorful hair clips and, of course, a Hermès Birkin bag.

Robin Brooks from the movie “Music Lover”

In 2020, the series “Melomaniac” was released, which can be easily described in three sentences: “vinyl records”, “failed love” and “memories of ex-lovers”. By the way, the main role was played by Zoe Kravitz. Although the series did not become widespread, the fashion community appreciated it. It’s all because of Robin Brooks’ (played by Kravitz) style, which becomes an excursion into ’90s aesthetics. In every image of the hero, one can feel rebellion and protest against sensational tendencies.

She wears Dickies T-shirts, pleated miniskirts, Matrix-inspired leather trench coats, high-waisted blue jeans, Vans Old School sneakers, and chunky Helmut Lang square-toe boots. He does not forget the knitted vests, stretch t-shirts and colorful shirts.
