- The Red Dress. This red ball gown — which Vivian wears in Pretty Woman when she goes from duckling to swan on a date to the Opera — has an unrivaled wow factor.
- Her Iconic One-Piece. The one-piece that left little to the imagination has become synonymous with the film and, therefore, ranks high on the list. Roberts' newsboy cap, red coat and thigh-high boots get less recognition but are just as iconic.
- Her One-Piece Without the Wig. Sans blonde wig with the jacket tied around her waist, the outfit somehow looks cool enough to earn itself its own spot in the ranking.
- Her Polo Match Look. Someone give this stylish polka-dot dress (and its matching hat) its own award.

Pretty Woman is the quintessential feel-good romantic comedy, but the original ending of the film was pretty intense. In the original script, Vivian’s friend, Kit, dies of an overdose; and Edward and Vivian don’t end up together. He throws Vivian out of his car, along with the money he paid her for the weekend. Wow. That’s pretty grim. The movie li...
Several actresses auditioned for the role of Vivian before Julia Robertswas cast. However, when the film changed hands and wound up at Disney, the higher-ups were pretty dead-set against having Roberts in the film. She was a fairly new face, with barely any credits to her name. Roberts suddenly didn’t have the part anymore, and was forced to auditi...
When it first entered production, Pretty Woman was a very different movie. It was called $3,000, and Vivian was a drug addict. Her relationship with Edward is purely transactional, and the title refers to the amount of money that Edward pays her. When the project got picked up by Disney, Roberts had to audition for the new director, Garry Marshall,...
America fell in love with Roberts’ laugh in Pretty Woman, but not many people know how difficult it was getting the actress to genuinely giggle. Sure, Gere got her to bark in surprise during the jewelry box scene, but an earlier incident proved even more taxing. During the scene where Vivian watches I Love Lucy reruns, Roberts had trouble laughing ...
The decision to cast Richard Gere wasn’t arrived at easily. But even when Marshall realized Gere was the right person to play Edward, the actor didn’t feel the same way. Gere turned down the offer to star in Pretty Woman not once but several times. As a last resort, Marshall flew Julia Roberts out to New York to talk to Gere person and try to convi...
One of the more memorable parts of Pretty Woman are all of the costumes worn by the various characters, particularly Vivian. It’s a good mix of late-80s cool and fairy tale tuxedos and dresses. One of the film’s most iconic garments was bought right off the street. The red jacket worn by Vivian when Edward first spots her on Hollywood Boulevard was...
Julia Roberts was 21 at the time of filming, and hadn’t yet gotten her driver’s license. This didn’t stop her character Vivian from hopping behind the wheel of Edward’s Lotus Esprit and tearing around Los Angeles. Her character’s excitement was absolutely genuine. In fact, Roberts’ enthusiasm was so genuine during these scenes that she frequently d...
There’s a fair amount of improv and ad-libbing in Pretty Woman, including the bit wherein Vivian loudly blows her nose into a handkerchief. In the scene, the prickly hotel manager is at first hounding her to discover what her business is at his hotel, but when she starts to get upset, he relents, and hands her his handkerchief, which she promptly s...
In the film, Vivian has short-cropped blonde hair when Edward initially meets her, but it is later revealed that she was wearing a wig, and her actual hair is long and vibrantly red. In reality, Roberts' hair is dark, so it was dyed red for the movie. This became a problem during the famous bubble bath scene. In order to have the bathtub overflowin...
While filming the memorable scene wherein Vivian is soaking in a bubble bath and loudly singing along to her Walkman, the crew decided to spring an elaborate prank on Julia Roberts. In the film, Vivian dunks herself completely underwater and comes back up to accept Edward’s offer to stay with him for a week. During one take of the scene, after Robe...
