Pretty Woman turns 25! 10 trends born with the film that everyone still goes crazy for today

The knee-high boots, which prostitute Vivian Ward wore in the film, have become so iconic that we don't remember them before Julia Roberts wore them in the film.

The white shirt, perhaps oversized, is one of the timeless myths of fashion. At the movies, Julia Roberts made her sexy by wearing her man - client's in Pretty Woman. Do you remember? He was without clothes suitable for strolling the windows of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and so he wears a white shirt for his client (Richard Gere). A gimmick that turns out to be a desirable look. Also Carrie Bradshaw, in the episode of Sex and the city in which she falls with Big in the Central Park pond, she wears a white shirt of his to go home, which becomes a white minidress held in place by a male belt. From then on, the road was all downhill for fashion aficionados ...

Cut-out dresses, short dresses cut in the middle, which leave the belly or hips uncovered, are now everywhere. Yet one of the first to wear them was Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. It is the famous short dress, combined with the boots, that Julia - Vivian wears at the beginning of the film, when she hooks Richard Gere. Also in this case, the evolution of the costume has made it possible to transform a "work" dress into a sexy and desirable outfit, which everyone wants. Or almost ...

Jewelery on jewelery, worn like a child's play, by accumulation, almost without choosing. For the Pretty Woman they were a kind of armor, defense on the road. While today they are a very widespread trend: there is no celebrity who hasn't been photographed with a stack of bracelets or chokers.

The round glasses are perhaps John Lennon's main recognition, as far as his style is concerned, but the protagonist of Pretty Woman made them desirable for women as well. Vivian wears round sunglasses reviving a bit of a hippy style for glasses, at least until then. As you can see from the celebrities below, she just got the ball rolling ...

The oversized trench coat or raincoat, like the one Julia Roberts wears in Pretty Woman, is typical of the '80s -' 90s, but that "penchant for oversize" has come down to today. We find it in the coats that fashionistas wear, and which seem to have been stolen from the wardrobes of their boyfriends.

Pretty Woman only had wet hair because she was taking a bath (singing Kiss of Prince from the walkman), while today the wet effect, with hair pulled back above all, fascinates many stars and fashion addicts, such as models and former catwalk models of the caliber of Heidi Klum or Kendall Jenner.

At a polo match, the haunt of the upper class, Vivian wears an important white hat, worthy of the ladies present there. The band that recalls the fabric and print of the dress, then, is the touch of class that allows her to look like a born Jackie Kennedy. The white hat, today and always, is a true passion of many stars.
