Straight-out-of-music-video looks of 'Save the Last Dance,' 'Honey,' and 'Step Up.'
For almost as long as film itself has existed, dance films have been a form of cinematic escapism. From the"let's put on a show" panache and trippy choreography of '30s Busby Berkeley numbers to the delightful duo of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to the Technicolor splendor of big-budget musicals to the extremely '80s styling of Flashdance — to name just a few prominent examples — dance, in all its genre variations, has endured.
A hallmark of the dance movie is the sartorial division between private rehearsal and public performance looks. In the hip-hop dance world of Honey, rehearsals call for pants that are a one-two punch of potentially unflattering silhouettes: baggy and low-cut. To top it all off, the pants are camouflage, a pattern favored at the time. Midriff-baring looks were all the rage, and much of Honey functions as an advertisement for Jessica Alba's perfectly toned abs.
Watching Save the Last Dance, Honey, and Step Up in 2020 feels like a time capsule of a world just before the dawn of social media. The flirty looks onscreen are straight out of a music video , but there's an attempt, through rehearsal scenes and then-current silhouettes, to keep things down-to-earth and wearable. You might be able to predict how all these dance movies will end, but the looks onscreen will still be a nostalgic treat — one that may surprise you with a fashion comeback.
