Every great film has style that spans generations. The attention to detail when it comes to the characters’ wardrobe from clothes down to accessories can’t be missed even as you reach the bottom of your popcorn tumbler at the cinema. We go down movie memory lane and recall all the beautiful style moments in film in the last 10 years.
Sex and the City the Movie (2008)
It has been 10 years since Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) donned the Cloud dress by Vivienne Westwood in Sex and the City the Movie. The layers of silk satin-duchess and ivory silk taffeta was such an iconic look that the designer launched a collection inspired by the bridal gown just this year.
Coco Before Chanel (2009)
Audrey Tatou plays Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in this 2009 film directed by Anne Fontaine. Costume designer Leterrier recreated the wardrobe of the style legend and made Tatou her muse. She based a lot of the clothes from photos of Chanel and translated that onto the film. Her silk pajamas and sailor tops were inspired by photos of her wearing them in the 1930s. And that tweed suit in the final scene where Chanel is by the stairs? That’s actually a real Chanel outfit and those stairs are in the House of Chanel.

Inception (2010)

He took inspiration from architecture and went with sharp lines for the suits. Just like the movie, the clothes were stylized but still rooted in reality.
