Atonement wins best costume dress

The British film Atonement, starring Kiera Knightly, has been voted as best film costume by Sky Movies and InStyle magazine. The emerald- hued dress, worn by Knightley's character, Cecilia Tallis beats Marilyn Monroe's infamous white dress from The Seven Year Itch, which took second place, and Audrey Hepburn's little black Givenchy dress from Breakfast At Tiffany's, which was third.

Also included in the top 10 are Olivia Newton-John's skintight trousers in Grease, Kate Winslet's blue gown in Titanic, Diane Keaton's tie and waistcoat in Annie Hall, Nicole Kidman's corset in Moulin Rouge, Liza Minnelli's stockings and bowler hat in Cabaret, Cate Blanchett's regal gown in Elizabeth: The Golden Age and Vivien Leigh's billowing dress in Gone with the Wind, reported WGSN.

Ian Lewis, director of Sky Movies, said: "Most of the outfits in the top 10 have become film classics, indelibly associated with the actresses who wore them. There's no doubt that Keira Knightley's dress in Atonement created a massive stir this year, so it will be interesting to see whether it retains this iconic status in years to come."
