The Girl With The Black Tights

Although I feel the film 'Factory Girl' (2006) delved too much into Edie Sedgwick's reported relationship with Bob Dylan and did not focus enough on the more important things in Edie's life, I love the fact that they put a lot of effort into recreating her iconic look. Obviously, Sienna Miller doesn't physically resemble Edie in the slightest, but there are a fair few times in the film where the costume department attempted to duplicate entire outfits from particular photographs. I noticed these moments as soon as they came on screen and I was impressed! Below are some excellent examples.
