"Pretty in Pink" is a classic 1986 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Howard Deutch and written by John Hughes. It tells the story of Andie Walsh, a high school senior from the wrong side of the tracks, portrayed by Molly Ringwald. She falls for a "rich kid", Blane McDonough, played by Andrew McCarthy, much to the chagrin of his snobbish friends and her loyal best friend, Duckie Dale, played by Jon Cryer, who is secretly in love with her.

The film is renowned for its exploration of teen societal classes and for its impact on '80s fashion and music. It has been considered an iconic '80s teen movie alongside other John Hughes films such as "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles". "Pretty in Pink" showed an underdog hero who found herself divided between two worlds – neither of which she wholly belonged to – yet she managed to bring those two worlds together. The film has remained a fashion reference for its distinctive, color-focused style while demonstrating that love and friendships could cross societal boundaries.
