8 Iconic Dresses That Shaped Pop Culture for Years To Come

We’ve all been inspired by movie fashion before. Some give us trendy ideas for everyday outfits, others present us with options to strive for when going out for a special occasion, sometimes we even steal date outfits from movies and tv shows. Movie stylists are pretty good at their jobs in general, but sometimes they hit gold and create dresses that will be remembered for years and become instantly recognizable for generations to come. Here are some of those dresses.

1. Gone with the Wind

This particular green dress was made to look like it was improvised and made in a hurry. If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know that Scarlett O’Hara supposedly had nothing to wear and decided to make a dress out of old velvet curtains. A genius plan, we must admit, and the result is very striking and memorable.

2. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Marilyn Monroe can make any dress look great, but this pink number she wore in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is particularly memorable. This dress is truly unique. It’s strapless, yet floor-length, it’s made of bright pink satin, features a very impressive bow at the back, and comes with a set of matching pink gloves. And surprisingly enough, this wasn’t originally going to be the dress Marilyn wears in the movie, it’s a backup dress that was made in 2 days flat when the original one wasn’t approved by the studio.

3. Ziegfeld Girl

If you haven’t seen the movie – do yourself a favor and watch it. If not for the plot, then just to see the gorgeous dress in action. The stars that adore the dress and seamlessly transition into accessories are absolutely stunning. If you ever want to feel like the star of the show, wear a dress like this.
