Two of the best things to do on the run-up to Valentine’s day are: 1. Go shopping and 2. Binge your favourite rom-com films. Here at Fashion North, we have decided to combine the two as we show you how to recreate the most iconic rom-com outfits for date night (or Galentine’s.)
1. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days- Andie Anderson’s yellow dress
Kate Hudson looked stunning in Andie’s yellow silk dress as she accompanied Ben (Matthew McConaughey) to a company ball. So many people on TikTok have tried to recreate this moment but this dress from Meshki with clutch bag from Next has to be one of the best dupes.
2. Pretty Woman- Vivian’s red dress
In this 1990 film, Vivian (played by Julia Roberts) wears a bright red off the shoulder dress as she is presented with a very expensive heart-shaped necklace by her lover, Edward. Luckily, we found a much cheaper alternative for both the necklace and dress.
3. Clueless- Cher Horowitz’s white Calvin Klein dress
Before Cher leaves for her date with Christian, she walks down the stairs in this white strappy bodycon dress to the dismay of her father who tells her to change, giving us this iconic line: “What the hell is that?” “A dress.” “Says who?” “Calvin Klein”. Here is a similar dress and necklace:
4. 13 Going on 30- Jenna Rink’s pink slip dress
This memorable pink dress and white polka dot blazer outfit is from the first scene in the film of Jenna as an adult as she runs out of her apartment confused about what’s happening and being late for work. Below we’ve linked items that you can buy to recreate this effortlessly chic look.
5. 10 Things I Hate About You- Kat Stratford’s prom dress
During her prom, Kat wears a dark blue silk maxi dress with a matching thin shawl draped over her shoulders and her mother’s pearl necklace. This outfit represents 90s minimalism well.
