Nonfashion Icons

I get sick of reading about the same fashion icons in movies: Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe. Here are some newbies for you.

Here is Diane Keaton's character in the film, Because I said So. If my mother let me dress her, she would wear an A-line skirt, blouse, and a big belt. This look reminds me of Meg Ryan in You Got Mail.

There is something so ultra-feminine and strong about this look.

Or what about J.Lo's character in Monster in Law?

Hold on, before you start laughing, check out her wardrobe in this film. For the most part, it has a California cool feel, but has a form-fitting Latina cut. J.Lo also rocks "jeans under the dress" look. That is difficult if you have a big booty...I won't say more! This particular outfit surprised me because Lopez sports a pretty knit - and she doesn't look doubty!

Let's go up to speed -

Tarantino fan or not, I could not leave out the character Shosanna Dreyfus in the film Inglorious Bastards. Trench's, though a classic piece, are often hard to pull off unless perfectly tailored. Look at the boyish fit of the coat, the earth tones used, and the paperboy hat and -GASP- mixing browns and blacks?!

Amazing.

Like jeans, the more you wear, the better trenches the look and feel. I want to believe the coat is bought at a second hand shop, and she has to make do with the fit.

Kids of America

Finally, here is Juno. I felt that this film really represented today's fashion of the youth. There has been this strange 90's grunge trend happening the last five years.

Yes, she is young.

Yes, she is pregnant, but the Juno wears layers well.

These are just a few that I thought of between classes, who are some of your nonfashion icons?
