Top 10 Movie Fashion Disasters

<< More fashion dorks back here


8. ANDIE WALSH in PRETTY IN PINK
Model: Molly Ringwald


Ali: I've seen toilet roll covers with better fashion sense. The title of this movie is obviously ironic.

Rich: Dress? Shower curtain? There's no need to decide.

Ali: You'd never guess she made this herself, huh? You remember the really dumb girls you knew at school, who had their hearts set on a career in fashion because they sucked at everything else? This is what happens when they actually achieve their dreams. Turns out they suck at fashion too.

Rich: Yeah, but on the upside... Okay, there is no upside. Clothes like this make baby Jesus cry.

Ali: This outfit is the reason the '80s ended.

Rich: I concur. Time is an illusion; the universe is actually made up of width, length, depth and horrendous fashion disasters. Bjork has almost caused the collapse of the time/space continuum on several occasions. Man, this is starting to sound like an episode of Star Trek. Not even a good one, with Wesley Crusher in it.

Ali: This is the kind of outfit alien chicks wear on Star Trek. Kirk would make out with them, but Picard would be all like "No way," then he'd go back to the ship and play chess with Data. Fag.


7. TANK GIRL in TANK GIRL
Model: Lori Petty


Ali: "Ooh, look at me, I'm so bloody alternative. I don't care about my appearance, I'm different to all the other girls. That's why I spent four hours every fucking morning braiding my hair, making each strand more ridiculous than the last, cutting them to different lengths and making them different colours. Because I'm not superficial, like YOU."

Rich: And I thought my hairdresser hated me.

Ali: I've heard of dressing in layers, but Jesus Christ, draw the line somewhere lady. What you wear is supposed to reflect who you are and what you're about - this outfit says to me "I'm a raging bulldyke and I'm against the war in Iraq. And showering."

Rich: This outfit really needs to be nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Ali: Looking at her actually makes me support the war in Iraq. Saddam Hussein wouldn't stand for this shit.

Rich: I'm fairly sure that most people could get dressed in the dark and still look better than this.

Ali: Rather than wash her clothes - like society wants her to - Tank Girl just puts on new clothes every day, without taking off the old ones. She looks like Joey in that episode of Friends where he puts on all of Chandler's clothes. She'd better not start doing lunges.
