Leather is the perfect combination of sexy and strong, making it the most devil-may-care look in Hollywood. Any color, any cut, leather jackets are a seriously seductive style, while leather skirts and pants pack a real punch. How does Hollywood utilize this provocative fabric? Let’s find out.

Fight Club

A movie already known for its attitude and snark, Brad Pitt throws a red leather coat over a patterned button up, making him the epitome of the bad boy stereotype. Brad Pitt plays anti-consumerist and fight club ring leader Tyler Durden, and spends the movie fighting with other men and ‘the man.’ This iconic leather jacket was made for goading lesser men into fights, and that’s pretty much it.

Don’t fight it, you love these leathers:

Grease

We all know the tale of Grease, where high school seniors do anything in order to fit in and attract a partner for the school dance. Sandy, the new girl from Australia, and Danny, resident bad boy, are hopelessly attracted to each other. But, the class system in their school dictates that good girls and bad boys don’t belong together. In a desperate bid for Danny’s affections, Sandy dons a leather jacket and some tight pants, bringing us one of the greatest outfits to grace the big screen. This seductive ensemble may teach us a terrible lesson about love, but it does deliver some great fashion inspiration.

Legally Blonde

Elle Woods is an inspiration to us all. Not just because she taught an entire generation of girls that they can do anything they put their minds to, but because she taught us all that there can never be too much pink in your wardrobe. This pink, leather  skirt and jacket set is everything I aspire to be. Not only is Elle serious about style, she’s serious about school, arriving to Harvard in this bombshell ensemble. This matching set is perfect for proving your client is innocent, and reminding your ex just how little you need him.

These fabrics are legally bombshell:

This iconic leather jacket is his staple piece of clothing, wearing it throughout the film. Perfect for rumbling with the popular kids and stealing their girls, Jim Stark’s classic red leather jacket is definitely one of Hollywood’s best looks.

Marlon Brando never disappoints, and his portrayal of Johnny in The Wild One is no different. Johnny is the leader of a motorcycle gang, riding through Wrightsville. His gang turns the town upside down, wrapping innocent civilians into their rebellious lifestyle. Johnny;s leather jacket, with his name embroidered on the front, is ideal for stealing pointless trophies and breaking up motorcycle gangs.
