"Gender bending fashion has never been hotter (check out Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes both trying the menswear trend out), so what better time to revisit one of cinema&amp;#x27;s most famous drag films of all time? Victor Victoria is all about... Julie Andrews getting dolled up in a suit and tie to impersonate a woman playing a man playing a woman (ie, she&amp;#x27;s playing a female impersonator) in an attempt to pay the rent. I&amp;#x27;m obviously enamored of the storyline revolving around the gay best friend (my favorite scene takes place at Che Lui, a gay nightclub you are going to love), but the clothes also manage to steal a lot of the spotlight. Patricia Norris was nominated for an Oscar for Best Costume Design for this film in 1983, and it&amp;#x27;s easy to see why--the pinstripe suits, snazzy fedoras, and the outlandishly sparkling stage costumes will have you wishing you were a cabaret star yourself. If you haven&amp;#x27;t already seen it, check it out over the long weekend. And if you have, what did you think? Here&amp;#x27;s a quick clip from one of the film&amp;#x27;s best scenes...enjoy!
