Halston was one of the biggest names in fashion in his time, but his brand hasn’t held the weight in modern-day as much as his counterparts. And this Netflix show tells you why. This dramatic fashion TV series explores the rise and fall of Roy Halston Frowick, showing how he worked to create a signature look and style (inspired in part by his friend Liza Minnelli) and how being gay during this time period impacted his life and his brand.

If you want to watch the life of a classic fashion icon… Audrey

Audrey is an inspiring documentary about Audrey Hepburn, the famous fashion icon, Hollywood actress, and humanitarian. Though she’s often remembered for her timeless style and Breakfast at Tiffany’s elegance, this film also shows the loving, kind, and caring side of Audrey in a beautiful and inspiring light. This is one of the best fashion movies if you believe in the power of fashion and love and want to learn more about a one-of-a-kind woman.

Or the life of a modern style queen… Gaga: Five Foot Two

Although not technically “about” fashion, Lady Gaga’s style, grace, and personality throughout this movie definitely make this documentary worth a watch. You’ll fall in love with her stunning red carpet looks and extravagant costumes, and even her everyday streetwear is stylish and enviable. You’ll be hooked on this honest and real backstage pass to Lady Gaga’s inside life, filled with love, heartache, and hard work.

In eight episodes, Worn Stories will show you the “why” behind people’s cherished clothing, giving you a deep appreciation for the clothes in your closet as well.

If you’re interested in both fashion and true crime… The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story

Versace fashion show netflix

Want a taste of crime with your fashion? This American Crime Story series tells the sad but true story of Gianni Versace’s assassination by a former lover. While Versace’s designs and life story are integral to the show, this series more so follows the life and timeline of the killer. For those with an interest in true crime and luxury fashion, you’ll be intrigued by this dramatic rendition of the tragic death of Versace.

If you love period piece costuming… Bridgerton 

Bridgeton fashion netflix

Bridgerton, set in the Regency period, has some of the most elegant and jaw-dropping costumes on Netflix. This show has romance, drama, queens, and dancing in a setting with fantastical dresses and designs. Bridgerton is an easy binge if you love romantic period pieces. Thankfully the second season is on its way to Netflix, so I can re-watch my favorite characters and costumes soon.

More period piece costuming that steals the show… Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey fashion netflix

Downton Abbey is filled with drama, emotion, and laughs (particularly from Maggie Smith). Alongside the interwoven storylines are striking costumes from the early 1900s, including the transition into roaring ‘20s styles. Although the show isn’t about fashion, we see incredible moments of the evolution of women’s fashion throughout the seasons, like when Lady Sybil buys a pair of pants and when Lady Mary cuts her hair short.

Or if you want more royal fashion… The Crown

The Crown has an impeccable eye for detail in its outfitting as it offers a dramatic retelling of the royal family’s history throughout the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It’s more than just royal ballgowns; The Crown has some near-exact replicas as well as some costumes with creative freedom that bring a stunning visual aesthetic to this show. I love that the recreation of Princess Diana’s wedding gown had input from David Emmanuel, who designed Princess Diana’s actual wedding dress.

If you like a little history with your fashion… Jackie: A Tale of Two Sisters

Jackie Onassis style netflix

Jackie Kennedy Onassis had an iconic style that still holds weight in American fashion today. Fans of Jackie’s classy, timeless aesthetic will love her looks in this documentary about Jackie and her younger sister Lee Radziwill. The story of Jackie and her sister isn’t an easy one, with high fashion and parties masking tragedy and rivalry underneath, but it’s a fascinating glimpse into the lives of one of America’s beloved fashion icons.

Check out a gallery of Jackie Kennedy Onassis’s Iconic Style on Harper’s Bazaar.

If you’re looking for cozy, quirky fashion… Gilmore Girls

For a go-to series that’s lighthearted and fun, Gilmore Girls offers early 2000s style with a side of wit and humor. Lorelai Gilmore is a style icon for those of us who like creating our own sense of style. If you want something wholesome with intrigue and quirky-chic looks, give the Gilmore Girls a try.

If you’re feeling Y2K vibes… Wild Child

A teen movie with spice and style, Wild Child is about a spoiled 16-year-old Poppy, played by Emma Roberts, who is sent to an English boarding school to shape-up her attitude. In a world of drab school uniforms, can a selfish, spoiled fashionista survive? With Y2K styles coming back into fashion, Wild Child might give you some outfit inspiration.

If you want to feast your eyes on ‘50s and ‘60s fashion… The Queen’s Gambit

The Queen’s Gambit shares one of my favorite fictional stories while addressing social issues and hosting an incredible costume wardrobe. With styles of the 1950s and 1960s, The Queen’s Gambit will have you yearning for pleated midi skirts, leather gloves, and berets… and playing chess too! Check out Vanity Fair’s article about how to recreate 7 Queen’s Gambit outfits.

If you want one episode of fashion TV on Netflix… 7 Days Out (the Chanel episode)

Chanel seven days out

Just looking for a quick fashion fix? 7 Days Out: World’s Biggest Events shows the dramatic behind-the-scenes of some of the world’s top events in sports, space, food, and fashion. I particularly love the CHANEL Haute Couture Fashion Show episode, which shows the hustle and bustle of putting on one of the greatest fashion shows of all time, designed by Karl Lagerfeld. (The Kentucky Derby episode is great too if you’re a fan of hats!)
