When you think of your favourite film, usually, one of the first things that comes to mind is the fashion featured throughout, right?
We couldn’t imagine Julia Roberts attending the opera with Richard Gere in anything other than that *iconic* red dress, or Sharon Stone’s little white number in that *unforgettable* scene in Basic Instinct. And can we please talk about Queen Latifah’s 1920s get-up when she declares she’s ‘The Keeper of the Keys, the Countess of the Clink, the Mistress of Murderers Row’, in Chicago?!
