From the big screen to the small one, costuming is an important part of the cinema. Both Anthony and I are passionate about the importance of on-screen fashion. And many of Hollywood's favorite ladies have had some wonderful fashion moments on-screen. Whether the film or TV show be a period drama or a modern sitcom, I've found some stunning screen grabs of costuming at it's best.
In some of these pictures the actress's personal style shines through, and in other pictures her character is wearing an outfit completely different than what the actress would wear on the street. But in every picture the costuming makes a statement within the movie that both allows the actress to stand out, and helps the movie to make sense.

Vanessa Hudgens in Sucker Punch
This movie wasn't a big hit, but the film's costuming was visually stunning. I especially love Vanessa's ensemble here. The big Bardot-esque hair and all-neutral lingerie is very glamorous, but not obviously so.

Zooey Deschanel in 500 Days of Summer
Emmy Rossum in The Phantom of the Opera
Dakota Fanning in The Runaways
I love this blouse and KILLER boots. I'd wear this ensemble today, even though the movie is set in the 1970's.
Natalie Portman in Black Swan

Blake Lively on the set of Gossip Girl
Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette
The Cast of Pretty Little Liars
Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice
Keira's character in the movie is of the middle class. But these long dresses with long jackets look so effortlessly fashionable to me today (although her character wasn't of the "fashionable" society then).
After choosing these pictures, I realized that most of these come from movies I really enjoy. Perhaps I enjoy these movies so much because of the beautiful ladies in beautiful costumes that star in them. Who doesn't like to look at something (or someone) pretty?
