www.cosmopolitan.com/uk: Move over Mia Thermopolis and Elle Woods, when it comes to the ultimate romantic-comedy heroine for the ages, that title belongs squarely to Bridget Jones. Sure, discovering you’re secretly royalty is all well and good, but hardly realistic. And as for pivoting your entire life to enrol and actually get into law school, in this economy with tuition fees where they’re at – no chance.

Certain looks from the Bridget Jones franchise have become iconic: the red pajama set (with little penguins) she wears while belting All By Myself, the Playboy bunny leotard she wears to a costume party, and, of course, the cheetah print underwear and gray cardigan she puts on to chase down Colin Firth. Looks like these are some of the first that come to mind when you think of Bridget Jones’ Diary, and I can’t help but wonder—do designers set out to create “iconic” looks, or do they happen naturally? If you need examples, think of the big hitters you see every Halloween: you could throw a rock and hit someone wearing the red-heart-print cardigan Jennifer wears in Jennifer’s Body, the pink dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and just about any Audrey Hepburn costume. But still, recognizable as they are, these outfits weren’t forced on us, they just sort of found their way into pop culture on their own. I guess it’s a gamble, which makes it all the more impressive that designer Molly Emma Rowe managed to create so many legendary looks in one movie alone.
