Hollywood's Most Iconic and Controversial Movie Costumes

The Girl in The Seven Year Itch

This iconic scene, filmed in 1955, stirred up quite the controversy in Hollywood and in Monroe's personal life. They were filming on a public city street and surrounded by numerous photographers when Monroe had her dress to quickly blow up before pushing it back down, creating the "look." Rumor has it that this very act is what ended her marriage with Joe DiMaggio (although they were already on unsteady grounds).

Padma & Parvati Patil in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 

The Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was a memorable scene. All of the kids at Hogwarts dressed up in formal dresses and suits. Harry and Ron took the Patil sisters to the ball, yet the girls’ attire didn’t seem as put together as the rest of the characters. Many viewers commented that the outfits worn by the sisters were literally everyday attire for Indian women. The designers claimed that it was an attempt to put more of a focus on the gown worn by Hermione... Likely story.
