Cinema Characters Whose Unique Style Started New Trends in Everyday Life

Designers and social media influencers certainly have started their fair share of trends, but some of the real style legends have been born from movie characters. The right outfits in movies can create a unique atmosphere and a more realistic aspect to characters. Many of these fashions, though the movies are decades old, have persevered and are still very much popular in 2020.

Sharon Stone’s White Turtleneck Dress From “Basic Instinct”

Now that we think about it, Fashion Nova totally inspired Fashion Nova and tons of designers for years to come. Previous to this, we were used to plunging necklines and dramatic evening gowns. But this vampy dress proved that you can look high-end in a flawlessly cut sleeveless silhouette paired with a turtleneck top. It’s the chic minimalism, for us.

2. Everything Rachel Green Wore In “Friends”

We know that Jen has mixed feelings about her haircut from this popular 90s sitcom, but her fashion looks came out stunning, every time. They gave us real, tangible, every-girl fashion inspiration that we probably still use to this day. First instead, a tight long sleeved shirt under a spaghetti strapped dress with buttons going all the way down. Practical but elegant, and seasonal appropriate. Also, that checkered pencil skirt and sleeveless turtleneck gave us total “Clueless” vibes.

3. Cher and her friends’ style in “Clueless”

Loads of popular fashion brand were inspired by “Clueless,” but more importantly, the movie truly helped shaped 90s pop culture and the fashion scene for young girls. There were lots of memorable ensembles (Deon’s hat, anyone?), but those matching plaid suits were everything, with thigh-grazing skirts and white knee socks. Teens and millennials alike both rock those looks to this day.
