Sex And The City, 2008
Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Catrall and Kristin Davies
The Story: New York’s most fashion-forward ladies, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, reunite for a big screen version of our favourite TV show. Cue high drama, break-ups, a wedding and one unforgettable Vivienne Westwood dress.
The Style: There’s couture galore – Dior, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, you name it, this film’s got it. All styled by the woman who made Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe one of the most famous (and most coveted) in the world, Patricia Field, the dresses are sexier, the accessories are cuter and the heels are higher than ever before.
Clueless, 1995
Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash and Brittany Murphy
The Story: She’s pretty, she’s popular, she’s got over-the-knee socks aplenty. But when Cher (Alicia Silverstone) takes clueless newbie Tai (Murphy) under her wing, her perfect Beverly Hills life is turned upside down as she realises that being popular isn’t all it’s cracked up to be - and she’s been in love with her step brother all along.
The Style: Cool 90s fashion by numbers: think kooky tartan minisuits, faux fur backpacks, Calvin Klein slips and bodycon Alaia numbers. We might not want to dress like her anymore, but who hasn’t always wanted Cher’s colour co-ordinated, touch screen computer, motorised wardrobe?!

The Style: This film has gone down in celluloid history as Marilyn’s sexiest performance ever, thanks in part to her to-die-for figure-skimming dresses. If ever there was a lesson in how to work an hourglass figure to maximum effect, this is it.

The Story: In this dark comedy, the dysfunctional and eccentric Tenenbaum family reunite when their father, Royal Tenenbaum, announces he’s terminally ill. Or is he?
The Style: We credit these oddball characters with bringing a distinctive retro style to the silver screen – especially Gwyneth Paltrow as Margot Tenenbaum, who’s all stripy shirt dresses, huge fur jackets and lashings of eyeliner.

The Style: A 70s hippy-rock look that the new breed of trendsetting starlets – from Nicole Richie to Zoe Kravitz – owe so much of their style to. That’s right, it’s flared denim, boho fringing, paisley prints, fur trim coats and rose-tinted specs galore, and of course, Penny Lane turning a lunchbox into a handbag.
