5. Uma Thurman -- 'Pulp Fiction' (1994)


When style is so wonderfully simple, you often forget how key it was. Case in point: Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." Though a drug-abusing, ex-B actress, Thurman's Mia was all hip simplicity. Her black pants, crisp white shirt and blunt, banged black hair (a china doll wig) became de rigueur from 1994 onwards. You can still open up a fashion mag and find a spread on the "crisp white shirt" or walk into any wig store to purchase that exact hair. While working with costumer Betsy Heinmann, the 6-foot-tall actress couldn't find a pair of close-fitting black pants long enough. So Heinmann just cut off another two inches, creating those slightly flared pedal pushers that looked so good when Uma danced with John Travolta. The impeccable touch? Wearing a black bra underneath that lily-white shirt -- so much cooler than "a royale with cheese."
