The 25 all-time best looks — and the looks best forgotten — in movies and TV …
Best Dressed!
Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Gary Oldman
It’s the original sexy vampire. Oldman’s dapper Dracula makes Twilight‘s Edward Cullen look like a J.Crew pansy.

Jessica Alba
Alba takes Britney‘s ‘Baby One More Time” look to a superghetto wet-look hair level.

James Franco
KEEP READING: Bustin’ out! [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
Baywatch
The lady ‘lifeguards”
KEEP READING: Screw Atonement! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
Atonement
Keira Knightley
Ohhh, that green dress. James McAvoy had Knightley up against a wall of books, and the delicate spaghetti straps of this emerald gown slipped off of her shoulders in one of the most passionate lovemaking scenes in history. Sigh.
KEEP READING: Chuck Bass, so matchy-matchy! [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
Gossip Girl
Ed Westwick
KEEP READING: You’ll wanna dance, trust! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
The Ellen DeGeneres Show
Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen’s tailored pants, hip kicks, cute vests and skinny ties epitomize laid-back cool couture. Justin Timberlake, you must agree … because you’ve completely lifted Ellen’s look.
KEEP READING: Hugh’s bunnies are better off naked! [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
The Girls Next Door
Holly Madison
So much velour. So many kneesocks. Nudity, please, we beg of you.
KEEP READING: One, two, Freddy’s coming for you! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Robert Englund, aka Freddy Krueger
The iconic striped sweater, the jaunty hat and, yep, the gloves make Freddy the most debonair of horror-movie killers.
KEEP READING: This look is the Pitts! [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
Burn After Reading
Brad Pitt
Tool level: high. Note the frosted tips. And he’s serious about that shirt.
KEEP READING: Alabama slamma! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
True Romance
Patricia Arquette
Arquette’s Alabama is a hooker, sure, but she gets major cute-as-a-button points for rocking cowhide miniskirts, gauzy tops and candy-colored underthings. ‘Bama’s definitely the most stylish heroine to strut from the confines of Quentin Tarantino’s bordello of a mind.
KEEP READING: A little Rocky! [PAGEBREAK]
Liz Lemon’s bedraggled, workaday look is dumb. And it’s because we know how smokin’ she looks for the occasional date — note “occasional.” She can blame her schlumpy-chump outfits for that.
KEEP READING: Law lays down the sartorial law! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Jude Law
As Ripley‘s Dickie Greenleaf, Law displays immaculately tailored Italian style and the confident swagger of a man who doesn’t want for money or women. Has anyone ever been sexier than Jude in this movie?
KEEP READING: Walk the plank, argh! [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
Pirates of the Caribbean
Johnny Depp
Yeah, we know, Depp crafted the look after Keith Richards, it’s a brilliant performance, he’s Johnny-freakin’-Depp … blah, blah, blah. But just imagine what’s under that bandana … and how it might smell.
KEEP READING: Belle of the ball! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
Beauty and the Beast
Belle
The gold dress that launched a million beautiful Halloween costumes.
KEEP READING: Diane Court, you blind! [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
Say Anything
John Cusack
Yeah, we’re still filled with Lloyd-Dobler-longing whenever we hear “In Your Eyes,” but Cusack’s trench coat, tucked-in tee and Hammer pants are positively unlovable.
KEEP READING: Bangin’ bitch! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
The Brothers Bloom
Rinko Kikuchi
Scarlet-lipped sidekick Bang Bang shoots away at her victim. Who’s her victim? Barbie, that’s who. Because she’s an unfashionable bitch.
KEEP READING: Ain’t no Joy to look at! [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
My Name Is Earl
Jaime Pressly
Pressly’s jorts-sporting, tubetop-tugging, obscenity-spewing Joy Darville is a vision of WT trash. Best Supporting Actor? Endless can of a hairspray.
KEEP READING: Butcher in a top hat! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
Gangs of New York
Daniel Day-Lewis
Bill “The Butcher” Cutting’s style is two parts Victorian gent and one part Willy Wonka. Lewis’ kaleidoscopic look makes his crazy-like-a-fox psychopath even scarier and, well, hot.
KEEP READING: Miss J-anky? [PAGEBREAK]
Worst Dressed!
America’s Next Top Model
Miss J Alexander
The expanding bow ties, the horrid bowl cut — Miss J’s outfits get more clownish with each new cycle. Sure, he (er, she?) has to do something to compete with Tyra’s self-obsessed yakking, but ugly ain’t pretty — like Tyra wants us to believe.
KEEP READING:We’re Mad about it! [PAGEBREAK]
Best Dressed!
Mad Men
The entire cast
Mad Men’s impeccable style makes us yearn for the old-school propriety of the ’50s-era elite. From cardigans to cuff links, every single perfectly coiffed secretary nails the boardroom-to-bedroom look. Don Draper makes us swoon, and Betty Draper has us wishing that laundry-doing — while clad in a big-skirted frock — was our career, too.
