The relationship between fashion and cinema has always been really strong, since costumes can have the ability to tell a story by themselves. This partnership was first recognized by the film industry in 1948, when they created the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, which has been the most important one for us fashion-lovers up until today. Some of the most beautiful designs have been created exclusively for cinema, so if you want to know more about what your favourite actress is wearing, keep reading.

- Black Swan & Rodarte.

Kate and Laura Mulleavy are experts when it comes to working with delicate and intricate fabrics, as well as creating dramatic numers for their shows. That's what made them the perfect duo to create Darren Aronofsky's film costumes, which required a lot of obscure inspiration and an special hand for tulle. As you can see, the result were two fantastic dresses that turned Natalie Portman into a delicate ballerina at first and an ambitious black swan as the storyline evolved, both of them incredibly graceful and elegant.

- Café Society & Chanel.

This was not the first time Woody Allen relied on a famous designer to dress his characters, as Annie Hall's Ralph Lauren tie or Cate Blanchett's Chanel jacket in Blue Jasmine prove. For this year's film he choose to work with Karl Lagerfeld's maison again, recreating pieces from Chanel's archieve to get the perfect vintage-inspired looks. Both Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively look amazing in their retro dresses and luxurious jewellery, so even if you don't like the director's films you can still appreciate and get inspiration from the looks of his stories.

- Carol & Sandy Powell.

Sandy Powell is one of the most important costume designers of our time (she's won three Academy Awards out of 12 nominations), so it's not a surprise that she killed it creating Carol's wardrobe. Carol and Therese's backgrounds couldn't be any more different, and that's something their clothes reflect very well. While the first one is a sophisticated and glamorous woman, Therese wears uniform-inspired dresses and headbands that accentuate her youth, but her style suffers and evolution as the two women's relationship moves forward. An ode to the early 50s that gives you a hint of what women with oposite lives used to wear.

- Marie Antoinette & Milena Canonero.

If someone knows how to play with colour psychology in films, that's Milena Canonero. She's worked with the master of colouration aka Wes Anderson and won an Oscar for it, and she did the same with Sofia Coppola's historical drama. Pinks and blues are the main tones in the film, which mean love, innocence, feminity, calm, unity and conservatism amongst other emotions, all of them being very accurate definitions of what happens in each scene. A universe of pale hues and stunning dresses support the story of the last Queen of France prior to the French Revolution.
