Ariadne, Inception

Ariadne, the endearingly brainy architect in Inception, caught our eye not only for her creatively layered looks, but also because of the way she un-self-consciously rocked them. The coolest nerd ever.

Bella Swan, Eclipse: The Twilight Saga

If we had a date hiking through the woods with a hot vampire we can't imagine anything cooler than these skinny jeans, a fitted hoodie, and a woolly hat.

Jackie Q, Get Him to the Greek

Jackie Q's performance outfits were unforgettable, but we were also taken with her offstage, casually rockerish looks like skinny jeans paired with a shrunken tee and a wide belt.

Jules, The Kids Are All Right

Jules in The Kids Are All Right, with her tough leather bracelet, black choker necklace, perfectly worn T-shirts, and slouchy Fair Isle sweaters, is the epitome of a casually cool mom.

June Havens, Knight and Day

We've all seen images of June Havens in that famous red bikini, but we particularly love this all black ensemble, which is chicly minimalist and all the more striking against her platinum blonde hair.

Mal, Inception

Mal's screen-siren-inspired outfits—long silky dresses, classic trenches—were as effortlessly glamorous as her wavy, sideswept bob.

Molly, Cyrus

We fully fell in love with spirited Molly in Cyrus when she wore this adorable white dress that was simultaneously provocative and demure.

Liz Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

In Eat, Pray, Love Liz Gilbert manages to appear both relaxed and enviably chic throughout her cross-continental travels (and corresponding emotional journeys). We particularly love this straw hat and airy button-down dress. The look is practical and totally un-touristy.
