The 10 Most Stylish Sci-Fi Movies

Science Fiction n. A literary or cinematic genre in which fantasy, typically based on speculative scientific discoveries or developments, environmental changes, space travel, or life on other planets, forms part of the plot or background.

So basically a sci-fi flick has nothing to do with style, right? WRONG! Just look to today's release of the 3D sequel, TRON: Legacy. Seriously, if body suits filled with symmetrical neon lights were acceptable in the work place, we'd be all over it. OK, that's a total lie but it's still incredibly badass to look at and we definitely wouldn't be mad if hot chicks were all over it. In the pantheon of CLASSIC sci-fi flicks, there have been a few that stand out as swagged out sartorially speaking. So what do we do? Shed light on our favorites in The 10 Most Stylish Sci-Fi Movies, from The Fifth Element's body-con, Gaultier-designed wardrobe to the gorgeously austere suiting in Gattaca, we've got it all covered.


The Fifth Element (1997)


Director: Luc Besson
Costume Designer: Jean-Paul Gaultier

Forget the plot, the cast made this film look like one huge futuristic high-fashion ad mostly due to a half-naked Jovovich. Also, Chris Tucker totally looked like Grace Jones. Props to Gaultier who designed no less than 954 costumes.


Judge Dredd (1995)


Director: Danny Cannon
Costume Designer: Emma Porteus

Eff what you heard, our dude JJD started that over-the-top shoulder pad craze your favorite pop celebrities are wearing. Ridiculous codpiece aside, Lady Gaga, bow down!


Flash Gordon (1980)


Director: Mike Hodges
Costume Designer: Danilo Donati

With the exception of baddie Ming the Merciless and his flagrantly shady eyebrows, Flash and co. kills with the bold red x gold combo. Could Britney Spears circa "Oops I Did it Again" video bite any harder?


Gattaca (1997)


Director: Andrew Niccol
Costume Designer: Colleen Attwood

Any film where a guy rocks an immaculately tailored suit throughout will likely make this list. The lapels, collars, elongated jackets, *sigh* everything was sleek, sleek, sleek and gorgeous. Uma Thurman dressed like a very expensive nun works too.


Demolition Man (1993)


Director: Marco Brambilla
Costume Designer: Bob Ringwood

This is all about heavily stylized uniforms, post-apocalyptic ridiculousness and many high-minded discussions of WTF is going on with Snipes's hair. His epaulettes though are MAJOR.


THX 1138 (1971)


Director: George Lucas
Costume Designer: Donald Longhurst

Standing collars, pristinely fitted trousers tucked into painfully narrow boots, metallic face plates, subtle hardware and GIANT BATONS! Fashion is violence.


Logan's Run (1976)


Director: Michael Anderson
Costume Designer: Bill Thomas

Everyone rolled with the early-'80s-off-the-shoulder-tops-wide-belts steez that was futuristic by several years at the time. Female cast members avoided side paneled clothing at all costs, too. Bonus!


Blade Runner (1982)


Director: Ridley Scott
Costume Designer: Michael Kaplan and Charles Knode

Full length fur, patterned bow ties, shawl collars, embroidered lapels, and the chick who rocked that Janelle Monae... All androids should gain total sentience if they're going to dress this wonderfully.


Barbarella (1968)


Director: Roger Vadim
Costume Designer: Jacques Fonteray and Paco Rabanne

Tragic attempts at remakes aside can we just have a moment to think about PACO RABANNE as a costume designer???? It's exactly the reason why Babs's ensembles kill in fit and shiny surfaces. Get it, Fonda.


Planet of the Apes (1968)


Director: Franklin J. Schaffner
Costume Designer: Morton Haack

Rule #1 to wearing anything in life: You can never have enough leather (distressed or raw) and olive green in your wardrobe. EVER.
