Little White DressThe dress worn by Marilyn Munroe in the film The Seven Year Itch is obviously one of the greatest pieces of clothing of all time. For,Greatest Film Fashion of All Time Articles those still grasping for it, it is the white dress worn by Marilyn over the subway grate, which lifts as the underneath train passes.Audrey HepburnThis number which was created by the design house Givenchy and worn in the adaption of the Truman Capote book Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of them most prominent cinema moments of all time, but also one of the most commonly memorable moments or pictures most of us associate with Audrey Hepburn, leaning on one hand, looking extremely elegant, though you can do so with a voucher code at Miss Selfridge. Olivia Newton JohnThe tight leather pants worn by Olivia Newton John in Grease are a must on the list. Supposedly it took hours of struggling and wiggling as well as pounds of talcum, but she managed to fit into these super tight trousers and wow the world - a definite cinematic piece of apparel to remember.Nicole Kidman's CorsetThe fabulously elegant Moulin Rouge is one of the most stylish films we've seen for a long time. The burlesque based movie in which Nicole Kidman wears the satin corset is one of the most memorable pieces of clothing in recent years. This stylish, showy and sexy number is one to go down in time and is a definite point of memory for us. Diane Keaton's WaistcoatAs Diane and Woody Allen meld into the same pretentious, self obsessed and neurotic character, Diane begins to adopt the comics clothing choices. The mix of her waist coat and tie is one of the most memorable pieces of clothing from the film and certainly a less than obvious choice for women of the 70s, but hey it works. Liza MinnelliThough mother Judy Garland had the red shoes, it is Liza Minnelli's hat in the film Cabaret that will be remembered and talked about in her case. The hat adds an air of masculinity, which becomes extremely sexy in the context of the other clothing in the film - a very memorable piece of apparel.Cate BlanchettFor amazing over the top style that exudes and surpasses even the renowned elegance of the time, Blanchett's gown in Elizabeth: The Golden age is definitely one to remember.

The beautiful elegant dress, with its large bottom and the wonderful hat are very memorable, classic pieces of clothing, that have been referenced throughout cinema history. Judy GarlandWhere could we be without including Judy Garland's red shoes from the Wizard of Oz. Possibly the most famous piece of clothing in cinematic history and sure to be sold at a far higher price than Toto if it came up for auction nowadays. Kate WinslettTitanic was an extravagant film and Kate Winslett's dress just suitable for this over the top display of wonderment and grandeur. Kate Winslett wears the dress wonderfully and it is one of the most memorable moments of the film, aside from the ship sinking, the standing on the bow and the car scene. Still a very prominent piece of cinema history from one of the most over the top films of all time. Though, we can't all have the extravagance of the movies a discount code can mean we can look elegant for a lot less. Promo codes are an excellent way to save in fantastic shops such as Miss Selfridge - so sit back and relax this Christmas - enjoy your clothes and these wonderful films.
