History Film / PretAPorter

* CampGay: Many of the male fashion designers, but especially Cort Romney (except he [[BiTheWay seems to be bi]].)

* CampGay: Many of the male fashion designers.
* ChickMagnet: Milo the photographer, though it's up for debate whether his suitors want him for his looks or the fact that he's the most sought-after photographer in the business.

* AFamilyAffair: Jack sleeping with his wife's sister.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Major Hamilton crossdresses for fun, but wants to keep it a secret, so his wife Louise goes shopping for him.

->''"How'd you get [Milo, the famous photographer]? Did you sleep with him?"''
->''"No, [[SorryImGay I don't sleep with men]]."''

* ChickMagnet: The photographer, though it's up for debate whether his suitors want him for his looks or the fact that he's the most sought-after photographer in the business.

%%* AmbiguouslyGay: Many of the figures in the fashion industry.
%%* AnimeHair

%%* CampGay: Many of the male fashion designers.

%%* TheDandy: Many examples throughout the film.
%%* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: Pretty much all of the characters in the fashion industry seem to get it on very regularly.

%%* FashionShow: Obviously.
%%* TheFashionista: Most of the film's characters qualify as this.

%%* GayParee: The film depicts Paris very much in this way.
%%* GratuitousFrench: It is in Paris, after all.

%%* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Again, when fashion shows abound, this inevitably comes up.
%%* INeedAFreakingDrink: Anne Eisenhower.
%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Joe Flynn is this, to a point.

%%* PimpedOutDress: Quite a few of these show up, naturally.
%%* PublicExposure: The film has a whole scene filled with it, meant as a giant TakeThat to the fashion industry

%%* RandomEventsPlot: Very much so; many of the characters and scenes seem to be completely unrelated and the film seems to lack any real protagonist, antagonist, or coherent narrative.

%%* StraightGay: Cy Bianco, one of the male fashion designers.

%%* TakeThat: The movie was devised as a satire of the fashion industry.

* AbortedArc: In great abundance. Perhaps the most egregious is the romantic sub-plot between Anne Eisenhower and Joe Flynn, which has no bearing whatsoever on the rest of the movie.

* {{Gayngster}}: One fashion designer, while not explicitly a gangster, does look and dress in a very "gangsta" fashion, and is caught making out with another male designer.

%%* StraightGay: One of the male fashion designers.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: One character dresses as a woman to help keep his affair secret.

* BareYourMidriff: Albertine's wardrobe consists mostly of this, only accentuated by the fact that she is heavily pregnant.
