We should dress up for the movies more

Pop culture's biggest moment in fashion isn't taking place on the Oscars red carpet, at the NYFW runway or on the steep steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Rather, it's taking place in a more humble arena: the movie theaters.  

They may be devoid of major designers, swanky press and an appearance from Anna Wintour, but free fashion shows have been on display at our local AMC, Regal and favorite indie theaters. It's an ongoing trend in which people dress up thematically in anticipation of watching their favorite films on the big screen. That could mean re-creating certain outfits of prominent characters or just embodying certain themes and concepts. Outfits can range from simple to extravagant, with some die-hard fans making their outfits and accessories all from scratch.
