Iconic Costumes
The Girl (Marilyn Monroe) The Seven Year Itch (1955)
It doesn’t get much more iconic than the moment when Monroe’s character straddles a vent and lets the air from the subway blow up her dress… Which red-blooded male among us hasn’t secretly wanted to do the same… er… see someone do the same?
The white dress is synonymous with the scene, though a different coloured dress would be more appropriate, because once again Monroe is the bridesmaid of cinematic fashion.

Put together with pearls, gloves and adorning of the most beautiful brunettes to ever grace the screen, the outfit is simply unbeatable – and Holly doesn’t have to resort to flashing her knickers to win votes.
