The tail end of last year brought some of the best-costumed movies Hollywood has seen in years, including The Hours, Chicago, Far from Heaven and Gangs of New York, and the outlook for this year is just as promising.

A miniskirted Reese Witherspoon will lend political activism a shot of chic in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde. Gwyneth Paltrow plays a stylish stewardess in View from the Top. A fabulous - and ferocious - fashion threesome will return to the screen with Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

And in April, Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor go over the top in the high-camp, high-fashion Down with Love as a '60s-style Doris Day-Rock Hudson duo. The film is full of grand entrances and exits, with actresses turning to reveal a bare back or dropping a coat to uncover a contrasting dress, most made from vintage fabrics. There are even mini fashion shows of sorts, when the music stops and the actresses strut around to show off their clothes. Zellweger had 39 costume changes, each with its own hat, shoes and bag.
