Pretty Woman Secrets That Make The Movie Even Better

The red dress

That famous red dress that Vivian wore to the opera was almost never red. There ended up being a dispute between the studio, producers and the costume designer of the film as they wanted Julia Roberts’ character to wear a black dress.

Costume designer Marilyn Vance-Straker eventually won the argument after plenty of screen testing and the red dress became an iconic moment in the movie. There’s no way that a black gown would have had nearly the same effect as that striking dress.
