Are you able to imagine it’s been 25 years since Merciless Intentions got here out? I actually can not! It’s certainly one of my all-time favourite motion pictures from the late ’90s. In the event you’ve by no means seen the cult-classic movie, it follows two Higher East Aspect step-siblings—a sizzling Ryan Phillippe (Sebastian), and sizzling Sarah Michelle Gellar (Kathryn)—who make a spicy wager with one another: Sebastian (Phillippe) should deflower their headmaster’s daughter (Reese Witherspoon) earlier than the tip of the 12 months. The plot, nevertheless, is actually not that essential to me. Over twenty years later, it’s Kathryn’s extremely stylish wardrobe that has me rewatching it many times. And once more.

Costume designed by Denise Wingate, Kathryn embodies tasteful uptown type all through the film—a lot in order that, beneath her shiny facade, you’d by no means suspect she’s truly a complete unhealthy woman with precise merciless intentions. She slinks about her mother and father’s Higher East Aspect townhouse in good, tasteful designs by labels akin to Donna Karan, Gucci, and Calvin Klein. One in every of her greatest appears to be like within the movie is worn whereas making her devious wager with Sebastian: She sports activities a modern black Dolce & Gabbana swimsuit with a customized skin-tight corset beneath it. You recognize, informal lounging-around-at-home garments.
