In a recent Ask Reddit post, one entertainment fan posed a fun question: "You get to raid one movie/TV character’s closet, who’s it gonna be?"
When it comes to film and television, one of the most important aspects of bringing a character to life is costuming. Many beloved characters are defined by their signature looks. While some become instant fashion icons, others are more appreciated over time. Either way, there are plenty of characters whose styles we would like to emulate.
Redditor, u/girltax, started the conversation with a photo of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. From there, film and television fans shared more of their favorite fashionistas from the big and small screens.
