3. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

This movie, “The Devil Wears Prada,” is all about fashion today and proves pearls are in fact timeless.

Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, is a recent college graduate who lands a dream job at Runway magazine as the assistant to famed editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep.

The “Devil Wars Prada” details some of the biggest fashion trends of the time by incorporating pearls into the many outfits featured throughout the film.

In one stunning ensemble, Andy wears a long pearl necklace against an all-black outfit.

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's

4. Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

An iconic movie needs an iconic look, and pearls helped make it happen in this classic.

Audrey Hepburn becomes interested in a man who moves into her building, George Peppard, but there are a few obstacles standing in their way.

Audrey is famous for this classic look (and other things), featuring a little black dress by Givenchy and elbow-length black gloves, both of which are accented with a bold pearl necklace and pearl-laden crown.

This is an all-time look; so of course it features pearls.

Christina Aguilera in Burlesque

5. Burlesque (2010)

This musical, turned into a movie, features Ali, played by Christina Aguilera, a small-town girl with an incredible singing voice who decides to chase her dreams by moving to Los Angeles. There, she lands a job as a cocktail waitress at the Burlesque Lounge and eventually earns a spot on stage.

The stage costumes throughout this movie are flashy, exotic and over-the-top. Not exactly what you think of with a string of pearls, unless of course the whole outfit is pearls!

Ali at one point wears an entire costume made entirely of pearls. Like the pearl itself, it is truly one of a kind.
