#1 Best: Grease (Worst/Funny: Zoolander)

Black on top of another black. This was the Madonna era. We were obsessed with Danny Zuko's towering quiff and Rizzo's distinctive necktie because they both had huge hair and even greater personalities. We all felt bodacious in the costume Olivia Newton-John wore at the film's conclusion. Even now, 30 years later, we have not yet fully recovered. FWIW, it had to be stitched on her because it was so skin-tight.
Zoolander is another movie with a recognizable costume. It is a sarcastic critique of the fashion business. The model competition between Hansel and Zoolander will never be forgotten. You are treated to a beautiful eyesore when all the iconic fashion and style trends are combined onto one person:)

#2 Best: Pretty Woman (Worst: Borat)

A show resembling Pygmalion about a prostitute who becomes a cultured lady. Vivian Ward's looks were all distinctive, but her denim cut-out dress stood out in particular. The costume designers had to conduct three color tests to locate the ideal red for the moment when she wore a magnificent scarlet dress to her first opera.
While Borat did not manage to seem sophisticated, Vivian Ward did. It is the stuff of nightmares. We saw a ton of funny Halloween outfits that year because of him.

#3 Best: The Great Gatsby (Not quite the top spot: Austin Powers)

Glitter, bow ties, and a ton of sequins. In this particular film, both the male and female characters wore the nicest attire. From head to toe, elegance exudes. How many different styles of formal clothing can you find? Regrettably, it didn't land in the top spot. The best dress-up costume parties of our lives were made possible by this movie, for which we must be grateful.
Due to his imitation of the slick James Bond, Austin Powers became a cult favorite. Do you consider yourself an expert on the suit? You get a combination between Ron Weasley's dress robes and the 1980s when you add a lot of ruffles and frills.

#4 Best: Roman Holiday (Worst: Step Up)

Although everyone is familiar with Breakfast at Tiffany's, if you see any of Audrey Hepburn's other movies, you'll fall in love with her laid-back style from Roman Holiday. It has a hint of the French Riviera while being straightforward and stylish. What could be disliked about a flared maxi skirt and a plain white blouse? That embodies what traditional casual ought to be.
Step Up is the alternative, though. A conventional love story and dream-fighting film. If only they had spent more time choosing better dance attire instead of daydreaming. I think it's a bit too similar to Honey.

#5 Best: Clueless (Worst: School of Rock)

Where do I begin? matching pattern jacket and skirt sets, including the cool hats.
We all aspired to dress like Cher when we were little thanks to Alicia Silverstone. She was one feisty youngster with the fashion sense of an A-lister, from the preppy little skirts to the scarves.
Another film with a school setting is School of Rock, in which Jack Black portrays Dewey Finn, a teacher with a rock n' roll soul. With a suit, blazer, and silly shorts, Dewey is unquestionably a man-child. It's a good thing he had space to move around and leap!
