Fashionista-friendly picks on Lionsgate Play
September is the month of the world’s biggest fashion events, where designers and celebrities jet off to the world’s most stylish cities to showcase the latest trends. But the best of fashion isn’t limited to the runways and red carpets. In fact, some of the most stylish looks can be found on our screens.
Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast or simply appreciate good style, here are some titles on Lionsgate Play that are worth checking out for their impeccable fashion choices:
‘Kill Bill’
Quentin Tarantino’s film is more than just a masterclass in action choreography and storytelling; it’s a goldmine for fashion enthusiasts. The canary yellow tracksuit worn by Uma Thurman’s character, The Bride, is so recognizable that it has become a Halloween staple. Even the most minor characters were dressed to kill (often literally), donning Japanese-inspired kimonos or leather jackets and boots, making it a must-watch for anyone looking for style inspirations.
‘La La Land’
If you’re a fan of classic Hollywood glamour, you can’t go wrong with “La La Land.” From Emma Stone’s flowing dresses in vibrant primary colors to Ryan Gosling’s sharp suits, this movie isn’t just a love letter to jazz but also a tribute to timeless fashion.
The film’s costume designer, Mary Zophres, drew inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood, giving us a modern-day take on old-school glamor. Even though most of us may veer towards tracksuits and loungewear these days, this film reminds us of the magic of dressing up.
‘Minx’
Set in the 1970s, “Minx” centers around a young feminist who starts an erotic magazine for women. The show is a sartorial celebration of an era known for its boldness and experimentation. With bell-bottoms, psychedelic prints and fabulous accessories, the film captures the free-spirited essence of the ‘70s. It might just inspire you to incorporate some retro flair into your own wardrobe.
‘Mad Men’
We can’t talk about fashion onscreen without mentioning “Mad Men.” Set in the 1960s, this critically acclaimed series is a feast for the eyes. With impeccable attention to detail, the show’s costume designer Janie Bryant created an authentic wardrobe that perfectly captures the style and societal norms of the time. From Don Draper’s perfectly tailored suits to Joan Holloway’s curve-hugging dresses, every character’s outfit tells a story and adds depth to their character development.
