I bought a Bebe lookalike dress for my senior prom. I still have it and love it to death. Still not as gorgeous as the one in the film.
Cinderella (2015) genuinely has some of my favorite costumes... ever. the stepmother's wardrobe is to die for.

To me they are too much fantasy meaning lack of real time period while also being set in our world and going for extremely rich looks that are overdesigned. Like butterflies on Cinderellas dress might have meaning but are too much

The green dress Cate Blanchett wore in that film was GORGEOUS!!
I’ve made Scarlett’s green dress, and let me tell you, it’s a trip and a half. Everything is three layers: a silk tissue taffeta lining layer, a white silk organza and the printed organza on top. Which means the 300 inch circumference of the skirt turns into almost 900 inches to hem. And those ruffles! Over 1200 buttonholes. So much work, and such an iconic dress. I love wearing it

@crimsonred9280 It's actually an anarkali suit! An anarkali is one long piece on top, kind of like a dress, that flairs out (much like a lehenga) with pants (kind of like leggings). A lehenga is a top and a skirt, two separate pieces. A sari is one long piece of fabric, pleated and draped.

Green is always such a standout in film! No mater what it makes a statement when done right
I love that these videos always include some dresses that aren't American/European. The Indian ensamble was especially breathtaking.

I love that this dropped the same day as Penelope's emerald dress on Bridgerton!
In Clue: The Movie, Ms. Scarlet has a dark green dress that almost looks black in some shots. It's quintessential 80's, with the off shoulder straps and sheetheart neckline (even though the film is set in the 50's). I don't think it necessarily has historical significance or left a lasting impression on costuming as a whole. But I love it. I think Leslie Ann Warren looks fabulous and dark green is a color that always catches my eye.

Lord of the Rings dresses are so gorgeous anyway, how the elven couture was designed based on ancient, medieval and art deco styles. And the green dress was made to symbolize spring and suited Tyler so well
you showed it in the montage in the beginning but layla's homecoming dress from sky high has lived rent free in my mind for years

I always loved Allie's green dress from Burlesque when she sings Bound to You. It's such a beautiful dress.
One my favorites is the pale green dress Arwen wears at the end of Return of the King, during the wedding/coronation. She’s like spring incarnate. Absolutely beautiful 💜
I know this is just film but I feel like Alicent Hightowers green dress when she declaires war in house of the dragon deserves an honourable mention

Scarlett O Hara definitely has *THEE MOST* iconic green dresses (and dresses in general) in cinematic history. Vivien Leigh carried those pieces so wonderfully and whoever were the amazing and talented people behind in creating them should be acknowledged.
I knew Gone With the Wind and Atonement would be in here, but I was SOOOO happy to see The Handmaiden! Also, god, I could watch every video in the Best Dresses series a million times over
I can’t wait for the pink episode! Giselle’s original outfit in enchanted, though animated, is my very favorite
Scarlet's green dress in untouchable, the way it moves, the fullness and delicate touches. Her whole wardrobe is the definition of iconic. Also redheads in green are sublime like Rita Hayworth in her dance number. That dress is beautiful.
That green dress on Christina In burlesque was perfection
Scarlett's green party dress will forever be my favorite. I've loved that dress since I was too young to like the movie!
Knew just from the title that Chandramukhi’s green anarkali would make the list- Madhuri Dixit in Maar Dala has my whole heart 💚

Saaaame! Anytime I wear green and think what earrings to wear I think of that outfit and GOLD! Lol
the devdas outfit 😭😭 so beautiful
A knight’s tale is one of my all time favorite movies. Jocelyn’s outfits are so iconic and she’s so beautiful.
The first 1.24 minutes are a masterful summary of many of the best green dresses in cinematic history. Cyd Charisse in "Singing In The Rain" is a knock-out.
Green dress fits Scarlett's personality so well
Thank you for including world cinema dresses as well. You do your due research and really present the best of the best and the most iconic. Devdas' green dress is just simply iconic and unforgettable, and the little introduction with the novel was unexpected. You really put a lot of thought, effort and research into your videos. Have to be one of my favorite creators on the platform in regards to fashion.
I’m a green girl, and I will always love A Knight’s Tale. 💚 You just made my day.
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to wear Scarlett’s green dress. It’s so feminine, gentle, and elegant.
Green is a lovely color 💚💚
i had to pause this video to watch in the mood for love. her outfits are to cry for
Burlesque is a soap opera movie and I love it so much, I'm glad the best outfit got highlighted
AYE! SIX the Musical reference!! I was going to type it in the comments if you didn't bring it up. So thank you for saving me the time. :) For anyone curious. The lyrics in SIX about Anne's sleeves go : Why did I lose my head? Well, my sleeves may be green... But my lipstick's red
SHE CAME TO DELIVER AND DELIVER SHE HAS DONE!!!
Indeed Scarlett O’Hara’s dress. The green brought out the green in Vivien Leigh’s green eyes
The Court Jester 1956 (starring Danny Kaye) had the MOST GLORIOUS dresses. Very theatrical, but GORGEOUS. There were several green dresses/outfits worn by the two main female characters (played by a beautiful young Angela Lansbury and Glynis Johns). If you like gorgeous medieval inspired dresses, I highly highly HIGHLY recommend watching it for that alone, though the humor still holds up too imo
screaming i actually let out a yelp ive been waitingggg for the next in this series i even replied to one of your tweets asking for this one lolll
Cate Blanchette’s dress in Cinderella lives in my head 24/7 rent free
I’m so shocked that you didn’t talk about Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge because Simran’s costumes are amazing, especially her green dress she wears in India. Having watched it recently and did a school project on the movie it became one of my favorites and the costumes on the female lead is outstanding

Mee too, as much as I had loved the inclusion of Devdas in this video, not adding Simran's green outfit in DDLJ during the Mehendi ceremony was a huge miss. Hell, there are several green dresses which appeared in Bollywood that I can't think of right now, but played an important role in the movie
I'd be lying if I said I didn't run a quick though all the time stamps before watching the vid just you ensure Chandramukhi's Green dress made it to the list. I am so glad it did 😭💘
Rita Hayworth is absolutely enchanting
madhuri performing in the song "maar dala" is a feast for the eyes. i love her elegant and beautiful style in that movie 💚
The Atonement dress is definitely my favorite green dress
I absolutely love your best dress series. Don't stop. 🥰 Green is so beautiful 💚🍏
Green is always a great and interesting color choice for costume design and fashion design. 💚💚💚
I’m so glad you covered that iconic green dress in Burlesque. That dress lives rent free in my head 💚🤍💚🤍
I would like to add to the list the pretty green frock Maureen O' Hara wears in "The Quiet Man" . She wears it in the scene when Mary Kate Danaher (O' Hara) is courted by Sean Thornton (John Wayne), ending with them getting caught in the rain in the ancient cemetery. The dress is a lovely 1950's representation of 1930's fashion & looks so beautiful with Maureen O'Hara's red hair & peaches & cream complexion. It is so quintessentially Irish that it could almost be made from shamrocks.
I've always loved the costumes in Barbarella. I'm interested in what the approach is going to be if the rumoured Edgar Wright's remake with Sydney Sweeney happens, something similar to the original costumes would be great, we could do with another space-age revival influence in fashion.
Fiona's dress from Shrek is the most iconic green dress
i'm SOOOOO glad chandramukhi's anarkali from devdas was included here. it's such a magnificent example of costuming done right. i'll also never forget the reaction i had when i first saw it on screen while watching it with my family.
I love the green dress from the other Boleyn girl 🟢
Elizabeth Taylor's green dress in Cleopatra (which I saw in person on my birthday a few years ago). It's sooo freaking stunning 😍

That Atonement dress has had me in a chokehold since I first saw the film lol. All the dresses are so beautiful though and the breakdown is so interesting. I love so many of the dresses mentioned in this list!
Came here for Atonement, was pleasantly surprised by the Devdas appreciation! Not a fan of the story but the fashion and aesthetics of Devdas is timeless and majestic 💚
love seeing devdas on here!!
So glad the dress from singing in the rain was mentioned. I remember being so enamored by her and the dress when I watched the movie as a kid
The Other Boleyn girl needs more attention! It's my favorite historical (heavily) fiction movie.
Yes, I missed these videos. Love that you included dresses from Black Panther, 13 Going On 30, and Devdas, and while I don't particularly like Oz The Great And Powerful, I will admit the green dress in it is stunning. As for your future blue dress video, some of the most memorable ones for me were the the gorgeous dresses from the 1980s Swann In Love, the musical Peau D'ane, White Christmas, Dreamgirls, 1954 Madam Du Barry, Umrao Jaan, House Of Flying Dragons, and of course the french Belle A La Bete.
Came for the green dresses, stayed for the variety of movies and the plot critiques.
I recommend everyone watch all of Sanjay Leela's films. Extraordinary sets and costumers every damn time. Thank you so much for highlighting our beloved Bollywood
I clicked on this so fast. I've been waiting for this series.Thank you.
Cyd Charisse's green ensemble in It's Always Fair Weather is one of my all time favorite movie looks.
My favorite is by far the green dress in Burlesque. I will NEVER get over how stunning she looks in it.
I just mentioned this to someone yesterday wondering what had happened to this series, so glad to see another addition to it! I love the color green 🌿🌳🍃
Green's one of my favourite colours, I feel like almost every shade is just so beautiful
The green dress in burlesque is definitely one of my faves! 💚
I thought the atonement dress was fine, up until I rewatched it, and now I love it.
I have a PhD in Cinema but I still learned a lot from you. Thank you. Well-done! Keep going!
I was actively praying for you to include A knight's tale in this. I squealed of JOY when i saw the title appeared. Amazing video!!
green is my favorite color! 💚💚 thank you!
I watched Carol Burnett come down the stairs in that curtain rod dress. It was hilarious! Carol was the funniest woman of the 70s. That Atonement dress is my all time favorite.
Omg I’ve been WAITING for this
Yessss I was STARVING for the next part of this series
Sandy Powell was ROBBED of the Oscar for Cinderella! The costumes were the most stunning ive seen in years . I was almost certain she would win that year .
I absolutely *KNEW* Atonement was going to be on the list!
Not to be dramatic but if I could wear that emerald green silk atonement dress I would probably die 💚😍
I've been waiting for this one THANK GOD
I’m cheering 🎉🎉for a new addition to the color series ❤❤
Ughh yes I was looking for this video earlier and thought you had already made it! Of course I was looking for the atonement film, which I figured you had used in your “best dresses” series
I love Cyd Charisse’s green dress in Singing In the Rain. Barbarella’s green dress is another favorite. I love it.
Thank you for your implacable work! It’s so so so well documented ❤
Green is the best color 💚
Scarlett O’Hara’s green dress is my favorite movie dress of all time. I think about it constantly
speaking of green dresses would you ever do a costume breakdown for House of the Dragon? would love to hear ur thoughts !!
My favorite series, the color dress series. Love, love, love. I've watched them over and over.
Girl SAME!! With everything you said from The Nights Tale. Absolutely adore her entire wardrobe for that movie. Sooooo much!!
I fell in love with Scarlett and her green dress as a kid and till this day still adore it
Green is my favourite colour and I've been waiting with bated breath for you to release this one! I was not disappointed :) So many gorgeous outfits. It's so hard to pick a favourite!
Time to go watch in a mood for love. You have unknowingly convinced me to watch it.
OH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE YESS!!!!!
Green is my favorite color! Thank you for this!!! 💚
Other green dresses I like are the ones in House of Flying Daggers and the green Alice dress from Pan’s Labyrinth, and Mina’s green dress from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Green is such a calm, beautiful color.
FINALLY THE SERIES IS BACK!!! LOVE YALL FOR THIS😭🤍
That burlesque green dress is one of my fav looks ever in cinema, so glad it got included!
In Black Panther, Nakia is in green, Okoye in red and T’Challa in black to represent the Pan-African flag.
