Oscar-worthy films and their Oscar-worthy costumes influence fashion every season. As Hitchock blondes and James Bond femme fatales march down the runway, they inject their aesthetic into the way we dress daily. But there’s no reason that you can’t go straight to the source, especially in honor of Sunday’s awards ceremony. Here are just a few of Hollywood’s lasting fictional wardrobes, and how to replicate their style today. Get ready for your close up! Annie Hall: Diane Keaton ushered in a new era of masculine/feminine style, kicking off with her character’s signature wide-leg pants, vests, button-up tops, ties, and brimmed hats. With Ralph Lauren as a costume consultant, it comes as no surprise that her look epitomized 70′s NYC perfectly.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s: If Annie represents the cool, laid-back girl from the city, Holly Golightly is her mirror opposite. Hubert de Givenchy popularized the little black dress in this classic—or more likely, Audrey Hepburn wearing it (paired with Ray-Bans and extra long pearls trailing down her back) did.

Desperately Seeking Susan: From underwear as outerwear to lace gloves, it’s pretty clear that Madonna was using her own outlandish, trademark ’80s style for Susan’s costume. The movie captures a moment in time thank to the Queen of Pop. Without a doubt, this is where to get your piled-on jewelry fix. To Get This Look:

A Bout de souffle (Breathless): Jean Seberg hits the mark when it comes to the aloof, sexy, irresistable American in Paris. Watching her traipse around Paris in airy, cotton dresses and striped shirts tucked into black cigarette pants or skirts defines effortless cool. And having a young Jean-Paul Belmondo on her arm didn’t hurt either. To Get This Look:

Pulp Fiction: In this tailored white men’s shirt with French cuffs and cropped capri pants, Uma Thurman started a wave of simple, hip dressing in the ’90s. Add some blunt, sassy bangs and you’re ready to dance. To Get This Look:
