Fashion inspo, straight from your screen! These TV and movie closets are still giving us major style envy.
It’s Saturday night. You’re curled up on the sofa in your favorite oversized shirt, eating ice cream straight from the tub while watching Crazy Rich Asians. Suddenly, Astrid Leong appears in a stylish ensemble, and you think, “Damn, I wish I could raid her closet.”
Let’s be real—half the fun of watching movies and TV shows isn’t just the drama, it’s swooning over those glorious on-screen outfits and making mental shopping notes. That’s why we’ve rounded up our favorite fictional style icons whose closets we’d raid in a heartbeat (no shame—just pure style inspo), because they live rent-free in our fashion daydreams.

Astrid Leong (Crazy Rich Asians)
Astrid doesn’t just wear clothes—she curates art you can slip into. Her closet feels like a silent museum of understated luxury. If minimalism had a Black Card, it would look like her: clean lines, Céline neutrals, and diamonds so bright you’d need sunglasses. Gen Z might call it “quiet luxury,” but Astrid defined it first.
Cher Horowitz (Clueless)
A rotating closet before Depop, Vinted, and TikTok’s “Get Ready With Me”? Cher was the OG fashion-tech disruptor. Her preppy plaids, baby tees, and mini backpacks aren’t just iconic—they’re Pinterest board starter packs. We’d raid her closet not only for the pieces, but for that touchscreen outfit matcher. Apple, take notes.
Daisy Buchanan (The Great Gatsby)
If drama were a fabric, Daisy would be draped in it. Think frothy silks, pearls that whisper secrets, and dresses made for sipping champagne while breaking hearts. Her closet is escapism incarnate—delicate, dangerous, and dripping with Old Money energy that TikTok’s “mob wife aesthetic” can only dream of.
Fran Fine (The Nanny)
Leopard print. Neon blazers. Skirts so short they’re practically punctuation marks. Fran’s closet isn’t subtle—it’s a confetti cannon of maximalism. It’s the chaotic good we all need when “quiet luxury” gets too, well, quiet. One raid and suddenly you’re the loudest, proudest person in the room. And honestly? Who wouldn’t want her laugh stitched into every hemline?
Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl)
If world domination had a dress code, it would be Blair Waldorf in a headband. Preppy perfection, tweed with bite, and gowns sharp enough to wound an ex—her closet is where plotting your enemies and afternoon tea outfits coexist. Basically, she turned “dressing like you own the room” into an Olympic sport.
Yoon Hye-jin (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha)
Yoon Hye-jin’s closet is proof that you don’t need sequins to be the main character—you just need excellent linen. Think pastel cardigans, flowy midi dresses, tailored blazers, and bucket bags that casually cost more than your rent. She nails that “city girl moves to the seaside but still looks editorial” aesthetic, making clogs and pearl jewelry look like covetable fashion week staples.
