TODAY'S BEST MUSIC FASHION IS ONSCREEN
ELLE US
|May 2025
Bob Dylan, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen continue to inspire us with their lyrics—and their looks.
Paparazzi shots of Jeremy Allen White filming Deliver Me From Nowhere—clad in formfitting Levi's and a beat-up leather jacket—broke the internet last year. Seeing The Bear star in costume as a rugged, early-'80s Bruce Springsteen only intensified excitement for the upcoming drama. “Springsteen is naturally the coolest of the cool. He was born with exquisite style,” says the movie's costume designer, Kasia Walicka Maimone. “He effortlessly absorbed those seemingly simple, utilitarian pieces and created a style for generations.”
Springsteen's signature snug jeans won't be the only legendary aesthetic to be interpreted for the big screen. Selena Gomez has been tapped to inhabit Linda Ronstadt's '70s California cool, while Shailene Woodley will embody Janis Joplin's free-spirited '60s rocker vibes. Director Sam Mendes has four separate movies planned for each Beatle, with Paul Mescal and Harris Dickinson rumored to play members of the Fab Four. And after beating out many other Hollywood hopefuls, Julia Garner is set to portray the Material Girl in an upcoming Madonna biopic—reported to be directed by the star herself.
