Spanning decades of fashion trends, The Crown presents some truly jaw-dropping style moments, making the on-screen royals look even more stunning than their real-life counterparts.
While some iconic outfits, especially those worn by Diana in season 4, are meticulously accurate, much of the show’s glamour comes from the designers’ creative touches. As costume designer Amy Roberts puts it, “There are many bits in between where you don’t know what they said, you don’t know what they wear, so you can then put your creativity into that.”
2. Sex and the City

Sex and the City hardly needs an introduction, but revisiting this guilty pleasure from the 2000s recently brought back all the excitement. The fashion was just as fabulous as I remembered.
Carrie once asked, “Can you ever really escape from your past?” in her famously reflective column. While some outfits (and storylines) haven’t aged perfectly, Sex and the City remains an iconic show.
3. Friends

I vividly recall watching Friends as a teenager, thinking the show was fantastic but wondering, “What on earth are they wearing?!” Looking back, I realize my teenage fashion opinions were way off.
Friends is a goldmine of ’90s fashion inspiration, thanks to its three unique female leads. Phoebe’s button-down maxi dresses and Rachel’s plaid skirts showcase the era’s distinctive styles.
4. The Serpent

A 2021 offering with a slick ‘70s vibe, the styling on The Serpent is a real feast for the eyes. Parading all manner of hippie backpacker gladrags through the atmospheric streets of Thailand in a condensed eight episode offering, The Serpent is essential viewing for anyone with boho leanings.
5. Killing Eve

If you’re going to earn a living by coming up with creative ways to eliminate people, you might as well look incredible doing it. Villanelle splurges her paycheck on an outrageous designer wardrobe, proving that sometimes being the most eye-catching person in the room is the perfect disguise for an assassin.
6. Succession

Sure, the billionaire Roys may often appear deeply miserable in grayscale, but Shiv stands out as a power-dressing style icon. She effortlessly brings sass to every outfit she wears. If you want to see the epitome of quiet luxury, look no further.
7. The Queen’s Gambit

Set in the ’50s and ’60s, The Queen’s Gambit dazzles with its impeccable style, making it the most visually stunning show I’ve seen in a long time. The Peter Pan collars and pussy bow shirts perfectly complement Beth Harmon’s (Anya Taylor-Joy) chic bob, and the tailoring is always on point. Trust me, you’ll find yourself longing for a turtleneck like never before.
8. Schitts Creek

Rose (Catherine O’Hara) is unforgettable, with her wildly unique accent and incredible wardrobe. Draped in over-the-top designer outfits while staying in a rundown motel, she quickly becomes your favorite character. And trust me, the rest of the cast is pretty great too.

Whenever I think of the word “Dynasty,” I can’t help but picture the iconic Alexis Carrington Colby (played by Joan Collins) strutting in my mind, draped in tulle, with puffed sleeves and sparkling beads.
This show isn’t just one of the most unforgettable fashion moments on TV; it’s a queer cultural treasure that’s inspired countless drag queens. What’s not to love?
11. The Get Down

Honestly, I can’t quite recall all the details of The Get Down (2016). Baz Luhrmann’s mesmerizing disco scenes just captivated me completely.
It beautifully portrays the early days of New York’s hip hop scene, with vibrant musical performances and stylish drama that rivals any fashion show.
12. Emily in Paris

The storyline is ridiculous, the accents are hard to forgive, but the fashion can be quite stylish at times. If you’re in the mood for eye-catching visuals and a good laugh, give Emily in Paris a shot. It’s ideal for a fun evening with friends, complete with wine and lots of giggles.
