From classy classic looks to contemporary girl power
As time goes on, Hollywood places more and more emphasis on strong female characters. The most enduring female characters balance depth and emotion with drive and passion. They teach us to love and fight at the same time. They challenge the status quo, and prove that we don't just live in a man's world.
Blossom Costumes has collected a range of strong female character costumes. From classic films to modern masterpieces, check out some of our favourite female movie costume ideas below, or look in our online store for even more inspiration.
