Weekday warriors, rejoice: 8 AM alarms and all other workweek horrors are finally behind you. And, as if you needed another excuse to slip on that club-ready dress, Saturday is also National It's My Party Day.
In honor of this genius and much-needed holiday, Opening Ceremony decided to take a look at the iconic films starring women who don't just make partying look easy, but a way of life. From a snow-skiing Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction to an Alaïa-clad Cher Horowitz in Clueless, here are some of our favorite film party girls and the modern dresses they would have worn to whatever rager today... yes, even ones in the Valley.

1. Romy and Michele from Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
2. Veronica Sawyer and Heather Chandler from Heathers
3. Michelle Burroughs from Dazed and Confused
4. Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction
Post-It inventors or not, one thing is for sure: Romy and Michele knew how to make an entrance AND exit.
When they weren't taking over the dance floor, getting back at high school crushes, or taking off in a helicopter, they were rocking colorful, iridescent dresses with fur-trim detail that looked straight off of the racks from Limited Too.
2. Veronica Sawyer and Heather Chandler from Heathers
The Heathers were the bitch-clan that every Westerburg High School student feared just as much as they admired. At the helm was Heather Chandler, the blonde bombshell who could out-party the college kids—in shoulder pads and totally '80s, off-the-shoulder tops, no less.
3. Michelle Burroughs from Dazed and Confused
While everyone else was busy hazing freshmen and fighting over kegs at the summer kickoff party in Richard Linklater's lazy classic Dazed and Confused, hippie high-schooler Michelle was simply trying to just vibe, man. Throughout the course of the film, Michelle could always be found with a guitar in tow and a joint in hand.
Even when she was singing songs about aliens, Michelle came correct in '70s fringe classics that give us severe Janis Joplin vibes.
It's no secret that Mia had a taste for the, well, whiter things in life. And with that striking black bob, sexy button-down-shirt-as-a-dress look, and killer dance moves, how could anyone resist? We also dig any leading lady that makes coming back to life after a shot of adrenaline look oh so good.
