14 Times On-Screen Clothes Went Viral Among Ordinary People

Nowadays, when creating a modern wardrobe, we usually look at popular bloggers who gather millions of “likes” on Instagram. But before the development of the Internet, women who wanted to look trendy and stylish had other references, such as various looks from movies and TV shows. But even today, there are films that give us style inspiration through their characters.

We at Bright Side watched old and new movies that have one thing in common: bright characters with personal style. And today’s compilation will show you images from movies that didn’t go unnoticed by the fashion industry.

Hardly anyone would be able to retell, in detail, all the twists and turns of the famous TV series, Sex and the City, but its bright opening credits with Sarah Jessica Parker running around town in a tutu was definitely one of the most-remembered details. Fashion-mongers quickly picked up on the flirty, feminine trend, leading to a more mainstream boom that took place at the end of the 2000s.

In the late ’60s, the famous Catherine Deneuve starred in the Belle de Jour drama by Luis Buñuel. One of the actress’s iconic outfits was a classic black dress with a white collar. This perfect solution for a modern office look is still popular today.
