I would say the Ghostbusters outfits are iconic

[marthawolfsen]

I can't look at Scarlett O'Hara's green curtain dress without thinking of Carl Burnett's hilarious take off, complete with curtain rod!

[hunterolaughlin]

How can you talk about Scarlett O’Hara’s curtain dress and not bring up Carol Burnett’s parody version from Went with the Wind? Her parody of the dress is equally as iconic as the original dress and deserves at least a mention.

Darth Vader's Armor Suit from Star Wars.

Such a badass, intimidating and iconic outfit.

My favorite version is from Revenge Of The Sith.

[trinaq]

Cher and Elle had the most iconic, stylish outfits ever. I always wished that I could raid their wardrobes. 😍👗🛍️

[evoandy]

Eliza Dolitttle’s Ascot opening race dress is the most iconic look in film history. Hands down.

[julierigal]

For me, Mary Poppins’ white and red dress is THE most iconic

[Rinhail]

Gilda's "Blame it on Mame" dress is one of my favorites

[ConnorMiller]

How Darth Vader isn’t on this list is shocking. The suit is so iconic that it gives you chills whenever you hear his raspy breathing. He’s the most powerful villain ever put on screen.

I love Audrey Hepburn and I’m so glad to see one of her costumes at the top of the list!

[parakeet]

The green dress from GWTW was stunning & BEYOND iconic🎉 The blue/white gingham dress in the "Wizard of Oz." We wore long blue/white gingham dresses in J.H. Vocal Music Concerts....😂

There were also:

Lana Turner’s turban, blouse and shorts- The Postman Always Rings Twice

Raquel Welch’s leather bikini- 1, 000, 000 Years B.C.

Ursula Andress’ white bikini- Dr. No

Gene Wilder’s suit, hat and cane- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Grace Kelly’s black top and white skirt- Rear Window

Tippi Hedren’s tailored suit- The Birds

Doris Day’s designer outfits- Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back

Dorothy Lamour’s sarong- The Hurricane

Dan Ackroyd’s and John Belushi’s black and white suits and hats and dark glasses- The Blues Brothers

John Travolta’s 3-piece vested suit- Saturday Night Fever

Barbra Streisand’s very short mini dress that showed her underwear and the black pajamas with suggestive details- The Owl and The Pussycat

Will Smith’s and Tommy Lee Jones’ suits- Men In Black

Jennifer Beals’ cut-up sweatshirt- Flashdance

Diane Keaton’s baggy menswear outfit- Annie Hall

[taylorwatts]

I knew Cher’s outfit from the opening of Clueless would be on this list 😁

[BarbaraRoback]

I'd suggest Annie Hall's outfit, and My Fair Lady's black-and-white dress at the Ascot races.

[trinaq]

I always preferred Sandy as the preppy girl to the electric greaser. She seemed more clean cut, and put together, plus she was way too good for Danny.

[LovesDisneyBeast]

I wish Moulin Rouge (2001) had made it onto the list. Nicole Kidman's character had some wonderful costumes that she wore throughout the movie.

[denisefreitas]

I absolutely love the picks! Holly and Scarlett are my favorite ones. I'd like a part 2!

[LinusCello]

Yes Audrey Hepburn’s LBD is ubiquitous, classic and timeless. (Though I thought she was most fashionable in Sabrina.). Interesting that there was no “through line” reference to the Princess Diana revenge dress.

[Ninaofthes]

My favorite is Keira Knightley's green dress from Atonement.

[diannes]

I’m shocked Captain Jack Sparrow was no. 20. It should be at least in the top 5. Surely higher than the long black coats from the Matrix!
