Movies and TV have always been involved with fashion. Women copied their favorite star's hairdos (Veronica Lake), pants (Katherine Hepburn), and dress (Audrey Hepburn). There was even a pattern company called the Hollywood pattern company that used pictures of Hollywood stars on their pattern envelopes. Other pattern companies, such as Simplicity, McCall's, and Butterick, had illustrations that looked like the stars to sell the patterns or had designers that would design similar clothing. Here's a few:
Butterick Pattern 6988 from the 50's has the image of a young woman who just happens to look like a young Ava Gardner. Ava Gardner was very popular at the time, and very beautiful.
Another Butterick pattern has the illustration of a cute, perky lass reminiscent of Mary Tyler Moore.
One of the most popular movies in the 70's was a film by Woodie Allen called Annie Hall. Annie was played by Diane Keaton. The film was so popular that everyone wanted to look and dress like her (at least it seemed that way). Here is a pattern from that time with the Annie Hall look by Rena Rowan of Jones New York.
