So as I was searching through the Teen Vogue website, I noticed that there was a section, called "Cinematic Style" where they chose, what they thought, was one of the most stylish movies. Here is what they chose:
1. Breakfast at Tiffany's (Why am I not suprised?)
2. West Side Story
3. Annie Hall
4. Grease (Also not so suprising.)
5. Flashdance
6. Clueless (Duh!)
7. Romeo and Juliet
8. The Royal Tenenbaums
9. Marie Antoinette
I am not suprised that these movies were chosen-even though I have yet to see "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Annie Hall". These are all great movies and they are all deffinately led with great costumes. What stuck out to me most, though, was "Romeo and Juliet". Even though that is a great movie, I would've have never thought of "Romeo and Juliet" as a "stylish" movie. Whenever I saw the movie, I always thought about how boring and plain there clothes was without even considering the era the movie was taken place in.
But now that I think about it, it is very simple and modern, just how the movie was set. It sort of makes you think about what the movie really would be like if it was modern day. As I remember what Romeo, aka Leonardo DiCaprio, wore, I now think that it sort of makes him like more of a rebel. If you read the book, you don't really think of him in that way, but in the modern day movie, it looks like he is. I kind of like it, it brings it a little twist. What was also nice was what Juliet, aka Claire Danes, wore. She wore simple, light clothing. It made her look almost innocent. I think the best costume worn was Romeo in his Hawiian shirt and Juliet in a light, cream-looking dress. It almost shows what their personalities are: hard-core boy and an innocent-looking princess. So props to the head of costume.
What do you guys think of these movies? How do you feel about these movies being called as one of the "stylish" movies? Let me know!
