In keeping with the theme, we thought it was fitting to take a look back at the most fashion-forward ’80s and ’90s films for Halloween costume inspiration.

We started with Cher Horowitz (as if we would leave her out!) from Clueless and pieced together her look, from her iconic little red dress to her retro cell phone.

Next, we switched gears and tapped a darker side with Mia Wallace’s look from the Quentin Tarantino’s black comedy Pulp Fiction.

From Julia Roberts ’s scandalous cutout dress in Pretty Woman to Molly Ringwald’s memorable pink bridesmaid dress in Sixteen Candles, take a look at all the iconic costumes that we’ve shopped out.

Take a walk through cinematic history and consider this an homage to the greatest in movie costumes.
