The \'90s Films That Every Fashion Girl Should Watch

1) Casino, 1995

Giving the mob scene a glamorous makeover, the 1995 film starring Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci chronicled the 1970s Las Vegas scene of money, greed and gambling. Stealing the show in this film, however, is Sharon Stone playing Ginger McKenna, an ex-trophy wife and rival to De Niro's character, Ace Rothstein. Stone's incredible '70s-inspired wardrobe was helmed by costume designer Rita Ryack, who created over 30 costume changes for Stone's character alone. From glamorous furs to sequined gowns and go-go boots, Stone's wardrobe is a fashion feast.

2) Pulp Fiction, 1994

The fashion set still channels the iconic movie wardrobe worn by Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) in Pulp Fiction. From her crisp white button-down shirt to her blunt bangs and bob, Uma Thurman's movie style was the new femme fatale look of the decade. The much-referenced outfit starred in one of the most famous dance movie scenes of all time where Thurman plays opposite John Travolta.

3) Clueless, 1995

With a computerized, virtual closet, the coolest wardrobe at school and a serious talent for shopping, Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) was the spirit animal of every girl throughout the '90s (and still to this day). From her iconic yellow plaid suit to that red Alaia dress—Cher's movie style perfectly embodied the 1990s high school teenager. Clueless marked costume designer Mona May's first feature film, which she created into a reel of looks that went on to define the fashion of the decade. Plus, it gave us an abundance of movie quotes we still use to this day, case in point: "As if!"

4) Pretty Woman, 1990

From patent over-the-knee boots, a short cut-out dress and a short blonde wig to a designer-filled wardrobe, Julia Roberts endures the ultimate 90s-esque Cinderella makeover as Vivian—a Los Angeles prostitute hired by wealthy businessman Edward (Richard Gere). Throughout the romantic comedy, Vivian's wardrobe is transformed after several shopping trips in Beverly Hills (thanks to Edward) into that of a sophisticated lady—although her over-the-knee boots left just as much of a fashion mark on the world after this film.

5) Unzipped, 1995

One of the earlier looks into the fashion world, this 1995 documentary followed Isaac Mizrahi as he planned his fall 1994 collection. The behind-the-scenes film lends a look into the '90s fashion industry filled with several cameos from the iconic supers, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford.6) The Virgin Suicides, 1999

Marking Sofia Coppola's first feature film, The Virgin Suicides chronicles five innocent teenage sisters living in the 1970s who star as the infatuations of the high school boys in their town. The wardrobe featured delicate lace dresses, floral prints and maxi hemlines—perfectly embodying the 1970s style worn by most young girls. Costume designer Nancy Steiner worked with Coppola to create a wardrobe that perfectly blended that of the '70s and the '90s for fashions that still feel relevant to this day.

7) Romy & Michele's High School Reunion, 1997

10 years after their high school graduation, best friends Romy and Michele are determined to attend their reunion looking as successful as possible. The token BFFs haven't accomplished all they hoped they would in their careers, instead they live together and make their own clothes—in crazy colors and silhouettes that don't exactly "blend in" with their peers. In hopes of impressing their fellow classmates who bullied them in high school, they create a lie that then spirals out of control. In this light comedy, the fashion is full of daring looks and zany style that Romy and Michele embrace as their own—serving as the ultimate inspiration for being your own fashion risk-taker.

8) Basic Instinct, 1992

Sharon Stone plays the ultimate femme fatale villain in this 1992 thriller. Starring as a crime novelist, Catherine Tramell, Stone's character is under investigation for the murder of her former boyfriend by homicide detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas). Stone plays the ultimate mystery woman with the perfect amount of sultriness, sex appeal and style. Her minimalist'90s movie wardrobe is still referenced with that iconic, all-white sleeveless turtleneck dress she wears while being interrogated by police (plus, her infamous crossing and uncrossing of her bare legs in the scene can't be missed).
