Pretty in Pink
Brat Pack drama
Pretty in Pink is a 1986 American teen romantic comedy film written by John Hughes, centered on class differences and high school romance.
The title references the pink prom dress the protagonist makes herself.
The phrase has become shorthand for feminine, slightly unconventional style or the underdog girl who doesn't fit the wealthy crowd: She showed up pretty in pink and stole the show.
