West Side Story, 1961

　　《西区故事》(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-伍德饰演的是一名穷困的波多黎各人，住在镇上的贫民区，但她依然穿着迷人的“新风貌”服装，以及与之相配的漂亮鞋子。这种无视写实激进现实主义戏剧的宗旨的服饰让我们困惑了很多年，不过，我们记得她饰演的人物玛利亚在一家婚纱店工作——难道她趁老板不注意的时候私用布料和颜料了吗？那就是她看起来那么漂亮的原因吗？

　　Belle de Jour, 1967

　　《白日美人》(1967年)

　　The director Luis Bu?uel 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。

　　导演路易斯-布努埃尔一直坚称这部电影是一个严肃的对资产阶级神经症的心性研究。得了吧，布努埃尔。显然这部影片真正讲的是凯瑟琳-德纳芙令人惊叹的时髦服装——由伊夫-圣罗兰亲自为她设计。说真的，这些衣服有助于揭示出德纳芙所饰演的人物放纵和假正经并存的双重性格。

　　The Big Sleep, 1946

　　《夜长梦多》(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。

　　尽管劳伦-白考尔是这个星球上最美的女性之一，但她在《夜长梦多》中的装扮——头发别在后面、帅气地斜戴着帽子、肩部翘起的夹克——可能是她在屏幕上最靓丽的形象。再细看一下她在埃迪-马尔斯的赌场为赌客唱小夜曲时穿的裙子：无与伦比。

　　Atonement, 2007

　　《赎罪》(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。

　　为什么以20世纪30年代为背景的电影几乎总是比20世纪30年代拍摄的电影要好看？影片《赎罪》由克里斯托弗-汉普顿改编自伊恩-麦克尤恩的小说，随着故事跃然于银幕，凯拉-奈特利的衣服便大出风头。这件服装的设计者杰奎琳-杜兰抓住了那个时代的特征，并追随潮流——慵懒、优美、简洁，但美艳夺目。
