As the iconic film turns 20, we revisit our heroine's evolution from corseted fiancée to 20th-century broad.

There's very little fabric involved. SURPRISE!
Seriously, he's been wearing the same one for 200 years, plus four episodes and counting.
Sounds like Olivia's ditching all that white for season three. There will still be gloves, though.
Back in the mid-aughts, Rachel Zoe started showing up in celebrity gossip rags almost as frequently as the waif-like celebrities she was dressing (N
Whether the women in Allen's films are portrayed as neurotic or naive—confident or confused—they endure as strong female personalities onscreen—with a unique sense of style to match. From Annie Hall to Vicky Cristina Barcelona, here’s how to wear your favorite Woody Allen character's signature style.
ComicCons have grown from a niche "nerdy" hobby to a full-blown industry--San Diego's famous ComicCon has an estimated three-year impact of $488.4 million on the local economy--and with it, the world of "cosplay" (short for costume play) has grown as well. We talked to some dedicated cosplayers to find out how they make their costumes.
Last year, the Emmy nominees for Outstanding Costumes for a Series were Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, The Borgias, Game of Thrones, and Once Upon a Time. Game of Thrones obviously won, and we wouldn't be surprised if it went on a winning streak for the rest of its time on air. And we get it--those costumes are awesome, as are those of the other nominated shows. But is it fair that contemporary shows rarely get recognized for their costumes?
Next to Game of Thrones, the collective favorite show of this office might be Scandal. And if you watch it, you understand why. It's so. good. And w
Netflix's latest original series Orange is the New Black debuted yesterday with its entire first season and if you haven't already seen it, we recommend setting some time aside for a marathon this weekend--it's good (and even got picked up for a second season before it actually aired). Created by Jenji Kohan (of Weeds) and based on a memoir of the same name, it's a dramedy that follows Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling) on her challenging transition from living a comfortable life with her fiancé in New York to being an inmate at a women's prison with a colorful cast of characters (including Natasha Lyonne and Taryn Manning). For the most part, however, their outfits are a not-so-colorful khaki--except for newbies like Chapman, who wear the bright orange referenced in the show's title. This is something we learned while chatting with costume designer Jenn Rogien, who had a lot of fascinating research to do re: prison dress codes while prepping for this project--a far cry from her work on Girls.
We've been Superman fans for quite a while--with super hotties like Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, Tom Welling, and now Henry Cavill filling the title role (and its requisite skin-tight suit), it's not hard to see why. So we were beyond thrilled when Man of Steel's costume designer, Michael Wilkinson, agreed to answer our burning questions about his work on the blockbuster. From Clark Kent's glasses to Lois Lane's designer workwear to the "incredible specimen of humanity" that is Henry Cavill, read on for Wilkinson's musings.
Earlier this month we learned that one of our favorite prime time soaps about rich people (yes, we have multiple favorites), Revenge, would be getting a clothing line. Details were sparse, and obviously we wanted to know more, so we rang costume designer Jill Ohannesson. Though a retail partner has yet to be confirmed, Ohannesson filled us in on what we can look forward to.
We caught up with The Bling Ring costume designer Stacey Battat to chat about everything from the stolen designer gear (lots of Louis Vuitton and Dior) to recreating the celebrity targets' homes to luxurious perfection. Read on.
While Game of Thrones (which I don't watch. Sorry!) may be the more popular TV obsession in this office/the world, a few of us have also gotten sucked into The Americans on FX--and not just because of the drama-filled plot twists between the CIA and Russian spies. The (early '80s) clothes, hair, and Keri Russell's overall flawlessness, are also pretty awesome to watch. We got the inside scoop on the costumes, hair and makeup from the show's team.
It's the final countdown to the premiere of Arrested Development season four--May 26 on Netflix, in case you didn't already have it circled on your calendar--and we here at Fashionista understand your excitement... more than you'll never know. Since a lot of the humor comes from the characters' costumes (who can forget Tobias dressed as a pirate, or Lindsay's "Slut" tank top?) we hopped on the phone with the series' costume designer, Katie Sparks. We asked her for all the details about working with the cast--and we think we may have gotten a tiny hint or two out of her about the new season. Oh, and we definitely asked her about those denim cutoffs--you know the ones. We just blue ourselves in excitement.
Excited for tonight's Revenge finale? The costume designer for one of our favorite prime time soaps answers all of our questions about the characters' stylish and red-heavy wardrobes.
