Kiera Knightly's Green Atonement Dress: A Film Classic?

According to a survey by Sky Movies and British InStyle magazine the bias-cut emerald green dress sported by Keira Knightley in hit 2007 film Atonement, has been voted the best film costume of all time. Huh? It makes me think that the voters must all be under 18. The green dress beat Marilyn Monroe's white dress from The Seven Year Itch, and Audrey Hepburn's black Givenchy dress from Breakfast At Tiffany's, which were second and third respectively.

Also in the top 10 were Olivia Newton-John's trousers in Grease, Kate Winslet's blue gown in Titanic, Diane Keaton's tie and waistcoat in Annie Hall, Nicole Kidman's corset in Moulin Rouge, Liza Minnelli's stockings and bowler hat in Cabaret, Cate Blanchett's regal gown in Elizabeth: The Golden Age and Vivien Leigh's billowing dress in Gone with the Wind.

What about the slashed sweatshirt from Flashdance? Or Dorothy's ruby red slippers?
