While we stumble on n number of captivating wardrobes in almost every typical TV show/film, there are certain characters that get registered for their iconic dress sense. The bling, the frill, and the thrill, these style icons mesmerise us every time they come on screen and we’re all thieves for their wardrobe-
1. Tara Khanna from Made In Heaven
Tara, played by Sobhita Dhulipala, donned some iconic outfits in the show. From crop tops styled with sarees, to sharp pant-suits paired with traditional chokers, this character single-handedly raised the bar for fashion in Indian cinema.
Her iconic dresses are here to stand the test of time.
2. Tahani-Al-Jamil from The Good Place
It’s hard to pick a favourite from Tahani’s wardrobe. ‘Cause literally all of her clothes belong to the good place hall of fame. Played by Jameela Jamil, Tahani’s wardrobe is mostly comprised of floral and pastel gowns and dresses, styled with effortlessly curled hair and pearl necklaces.
I can honestly trade both of my kidneys in exchange of her wardrobe.
3. Maisel from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Maisel, played by Rachel Brosnahan, has the best clothes on TV. Strong colours and minimal couture, styled on her radiant self, are without exaggeration straight out of the ballpark.
4. Princess Margaret from The Crown
Princess Margaret, played by Vanessa Kirby, might not rule the country, but she definitely is the queen of brilliant outfits.
5. Cheryl from Riverdale
This unapologetic sass of a character, portrayed by Madelaine Petsch, has criminal outfits to our envy. Rocking monochrome dresses, mostly dipped in cherry red, she rocks everything she lays her hand on.
6. Sasha from Always Be My Maybe
The next best thing after Keanu Reeves in this film, was Sasha Tran AKA Ali Wong’s wardrobe. And also her iconic cat-eye spectacles.
7. Rachel from Suits
Before being Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle is the Duchess of hella fine clothing. Her character from the series, Suits, gave us office-wear goals. Extra chic pencil skirts, pastel hues, and elegant shirts- her dress sense is pure class.
8. Cristal Carrington from Dynasty
Cristal, played by Nathalie Kelley, was truly a fashion icon. Polished looks, styled in pastels, and statement outfits made her character unforgettable.
8. Lady Mary Crawley from Downton Abbey
The ‘It Girl’ from another era, Lady Mary, played by Michelle Dockery, possesses a classic collection of dresses, to the envy of generations to come. Her tweed coats, elegant gowns, and pure class made her the lady of our dreams.
9. Villanelle from Killing Eve
Killing Eve‘s Villanelle, a Russian assassin, played by Jodie Comer, is an equally deadly dresser. Using outfits to change appearances, Villanelle’s iconic style is only fitting to her name.

Sam, played by Annie Parisse, has given of us serious wardrobe goals with her ruffle dresses, printed coat-pants, and baggy dresses. All hail.

Lisa, played by our favourite Cobie Smulders, looks like a vision every time she comes onscreen. Her wardrobe is what our dreams are made of.
12. Madeline from Big Little Lies
Madeline Martha Mackenzie, played by Reese Witherspoon, has the most enviable collection of outfits. Fairly recognised as one of the most stylish shows, almost all the outfits worn on it are lust-worthy.
13. Gemma Chan from Crazy Rich Asians
From the iconic golden jumpsuit to the wedding dresses- all the outfits from Crazy Rich Asians deserve a mention. But, can we take a moment to appreciate Gemma Chan’s wardrobe? Pure class, I say.
14. Rachel from Crazy Rich Asians
Constance Wu’s character’s wardrobe was as sophisticated as it was extra. From frills and florals to straightaway bling, her dresses inspire!
15. Cookie Lyon from Empire
The list is not complete without mentioning Cookie Lyon, played by Taraji Henson. This powerhouse can pull off any number of animal prints, strong colours, and statement hats. You name it, Cookie has done it.
