Drop Dead Gorgeous: A Girly Classic
On its 25th birthday we look back at the style of Drop Dead Gorgeous
Drop Dead Gorgeous is undoubtedly a cult classic, and that's for a reason. Not only does it have a star-studded cast with actresses such as Amy Adams, Brittany Murphy, and Kirsten Dunst, but it has costuming that is a perfect example of the late 90s film fashion we have come to covet.
Amber Atkins: Down-to-Earth Style
Amber Atkins, our main character, is the most down-to-earth character. Her style reflects this with simple girly outfits throughout the film. She is a practical character, so her outfits are practical. Her most notable outfit is a baby blue dress, which she wears with white sneakers and her pageant sash.
Becky Leeman: Over-the-Top Fashion
Becky Leeman is Amber's main competition. Played by Denise Richards, the character is undeniably stunning and her intensity is played for laughs. Because of this, her style is silly and a little over the top. Her most out-of-place look is her shooting range look, which manages to be stylish despite how nonsense it is to have in a movie about a beauty pageant.
Leslie Miller: Modest to Glamorous
Leslie Miller is a character who is all beauty and no brains, Amy Adams's first major role captured our hearts with her excellent comedic acting. The character goes between having the most modest outfits in the film and the least. Our favorite of her outfits is her final pageant look, where she is a ball of glam.
