Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway and Co. have understood how timeless fashion works. Even today, we still like to be inspired by their fashion looks from well-known films and cult series.
Of course there are many factors that make a film a cult film. But let’s be honest: If the main character has a knack for fashion, our fashion hearts beat in the same beat! There are actresses whose characters have shaped the fashion world more lastingly than almost anyone else. And even if our favorite cult films and series are getting a bit old; the outfits are often not. We’ll show you the most beautiful trends that we’ve copied from the big screen. Over and over again!
Anne Hathaway and her timeless collar
We don’t even have to go shopping for this fashion trend anymore, because: A shirt – no matter what color – is in every closet. And rightly so, after all, the white version in particular is one of the absolute fashion classics. So far we’ve preferred to wear them a little more open than buttoned up. Until now! Because what Anne Hathaway began as Andrea Sachs in “The Devil Wears Prada” is still absolutely chic today. In the film, the up-and-coming journalist often wears her shirts under sweaters. And preferably buttoned up to the top button.
Lucky for us: we don’t have to dress entirely in Chanel to look as elegant as Andrea Sachs.

This creates an elegant look that can be made more feminine with statement jewelry or eye-catching make-up. We love this trend especially in the cold season, because the layering of the individual parts not only creates a chic outfit, but also an onion look that keeps us warm. Hathaway herself proves how timeless the collar trend is: In one of her current posts, she styles a shirt under a dress from “Maison Valentino” and shows how changeable the look is.
Sarah Jessica Parker and the baguette bag
We couldn’t talk about fashion icons without coming to “Sex and the City.” Although all four women were formative for the fashion world, one is still very special today: Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) is and remains our idol! In the second season of the series, she carries a handbag that should look very familiar to all of us: a “Baguette Bag” by “Fendi”. And makes the bag known and popular in one fell swoop.
Cool, cooler, Carrie: She makes the “baguette bag” famous.

The bags are still trendy today. No wonder, after all they stand for an unbeatable sense of style. Of course, “baguette bags” are now available in all colors, materials and price ranges – after all, it doesn’t always have to be the designer piece. And if you’re very lucky, you’ll find a well-preserved vintage bag and get even closer to Carrie’s look.
Julia Roberts’ leather blazer
Although Julia Roberts shines in every role, “Notting Hill” enchants us in a special way. This is of course due to Hugh Grant’s sleepy charm that he displays. But also because of the great outfits worn by Anna Scott, the famous actress who is played by Julia Roberts. One of her items of clothing is more popular today than ever before: the leather blazer.
In the film, the actress pairs the blazer with a black Chanel beret and classic 90s sunglasses. A look that is still wearable and suitable for everyday use today! Because sometimes all you need is a cool leather blazer to feel like a movie star…
