No one noticed this giant blooper in the iconic Pretty Woman
Take, for instance, the charming brown-and-white polka dot dress Roberts wore to the horse race. That little gem was created from old silk found in a tiny antique fabric shop in Los Angeles — talk about recycling in style! And those chic shoes? Yup, they were by Chanel.
Richard Gere’s tie
As for Gere’s wardrobe, it was a masterclass in color coordination, featuring brown, navy, and blue-gray suits, all designed by Vance.
Now, about that famous tie that Roberts snatches from a store employee? According to Vance, it was “nothing special” and certainly not designer.
She picked it up in a Los Angeles shop for a cool $48.
The tie makes several appearances throughout the film, and if you watch closely, you might notice that it mysteriously changes knots from time to time.
During the polo match, Edward sports a straight-collar shirt along with the tie that Vivian gifted him, knotted in a half-Windsor. But in a later scene, the sharp-eyed viewer can spot a subtle change — Edward’s collar has magically transformed into a spread style, and the tie is now in a full-Windsor knot.
‘Obscene’ shopping spree
When Richard Gere introduces Julia Roberts’ character to the glamorous world of the rich, he takes her on a wild shopping spree down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
That afternoon shopping trip? It would have set Gere’s character back at least $30,000, according to designer Marilyn Vance.
Talk about a retail therapy session on steroids! It’s like they were shopping with Monopoly money — no wonder Vivian was in a daze.
