West Side Story, 1961
《西區(qū)故事》(1961年)

Natalie Wood plays an impoverished Puerto Rican on the wrong side of town, but still gets to wear ravishing New Look silhouettes with beautifully matching shoes. This disregard for the tenets of gritty kitchensink drama bothered us for years, but then we remembered that her character Maria worked in a bridal shop – was she helping herself to fabric and dye when the boss wasn’t looking? And is that why she felt so pretty?
娜塔利-伍德飾演的是一名窮困的波多黎各人，住在鎮(zhèn)上的貧民區(qū)，但她依然穿著迷人的“新風貌”服裝，以及與之相配的漂亮鞋子。這種無視寫實激進現(xiàn)實主義戲劇的宗旨的服飾讓我們困惑了很多年，不過，我們記得她飾演的人物瑪利亞在一家婚紗店工作——難道她趁老板不注意的時候私用布料和顏料了嗎？那就是她看起來那么漂亮的原因嗎？

Belle de Jour, 1967
《白日美人》(1967年)

The director Luis Buuel steadfastly maintained that this was a serious psycho-sexual study of bourgeois neurosis. Nice try, Bu?uel. Obviously what’s really on show here is Catherine Denueve’s stupefyingly chic wardrobe – designed for her by YSL himself. Seriously – the clothes helped to nail the Deneuve character’s pampered, demure confusion.
導演路易斯-布努埃爾一直堅稱這部電影是一個嚴肅的對資產(chǎn)階級神經(jīng)癥的心性研究。得了吧，布努埃爾。顯然這部影片真正講的是凱瑟琳-德納芙令人驚嘆的時髦服裝——由伊夫-圣羅蘭親自為她設(shè)計。說真的，這些衣服有助于揭示出德納芙所飾演的人物放縱和假正經(jīng)并存的雙重性格。

The Big Sleep, 1946
《夜長夢多》(1946年)

Notwithstanding that she is one of the most beautiful females ever to grace the planet, Lauren Bacall’s Big Sleep looks – the pinned-back hair, the chicly tilted hats, the power-shouldered jackets were arguably the finest she wore on screen. And observe again at the dress in which she serenades the punters in Eddie Mars’s gambling den: incomparable.
盡管勞倫-白考爾是這個星球上最美的女性之一，但她在《夜長夢多》中的裝扮——頭發(fā)別在后面、帥氣地斜戴著帽子、肩部翹起的夾克——可能是她在屏幕上最靚麗的形象。再細看一下她在埃迪-馬爾斯的賭場為賭客唱小夜曲時穿的裙子：無與倫比。

Atonement, 2007
《贖罪》(2007年)

How come films set inthe 1930s almost always look better than films made in the 1930s? Moving as Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel is, Keira Knightley’s clothes steal the show. The costume designer Jacqueline Durran grasped the period and ran with it – languid, elegant, understated yet drop-dead gorgeous。
為什么以20世紀30年代為背景的電影幾乎總是比20世紀30年代拍攝的電影要好看？影片《贖罪》由克里斯托弗-漢普頓改編自伊恩-麥克尤恩的小說，隨著故事躍然于銀幕，凱拉-奈特利的衣服便大出風頭。這件服裝的設(shè)計者杰奎琳-杜蘭抓住了那個時代的特征，并追隨潮流——慵懶、優(yōu)美、簡潔，但美艷奪目。
