10+ Times Attentive Viewers Can’t Close Their Eyes To Blunders Made By Costume Designers
When watching a movie, most of us rarely analyze scenes the way critics do. It’s simply because we just want to free our minds, totally relax and not worry about work or home life. It’s seen as a way to escape from daily problems. It’s unlikely that we will start to knit-pick an outfit that an actor is wearing. So, tiny details often pass most of us due to their focus on the movie’s plot. It seems to be not a big deal to not set eyes on mistakes.

#11 Cleopatra
The costume designers worked hard, creating 65 dresses for Cleopatra. Elizabeth Taylor changed in nearly every scene. However, none of them were historically accurate. It seems that they belong to the ‘60s and are from Egypt.Share this article
