Sex and the City became a real guide to the fashion scene of New York in the 2000s. When it was revealed that the cult series will be renewed, many fans were excited to see the characters' updated appearances. To illustrate the link between the original series and its sequel, the costume designers chose to put on Carrie's renowned tutu skirt again — but slightly tweaked, as if those 18 years had not passed and we were seeing our old pals on the screen again.#2 West Side Story

Steven Spielberg's new musical is based on the 1961 film of the same name. Maria's outfit turned out to be one of the most well-thought-out in both films. Her purity and freshness are emphasized by the white lace dress she wears to the dances where she meets Tony. It does, however, have one distinguishing feature: a crimson belt. It foreshadows Maria's impending transition to adulthood and acts as a sign of Maria's maturation into a woman.#3 Dune

This film has not just stunning visual effects and a star-studded cast, but also some odd outfits for the characters. According to the costume designer, it was critical to her that the characters appear organic and that their clothes do not appear to be uniform. Furthermore, each "Eternal" has its hue that accurately symbolizes its special abilities based on the element they control: Earth, Air, Water, and so on. Different colors are also used to emphasize each character's uniqueness.#7 Don’t Look Up

In Death on the Nile, the costume designer intended to highlight not just Linnet Doyle's affluence, but also her weakness and fragility. He picked flowing garments in lovely pastel colors for this. The theft of a piece of jewelry, which is linked to the major crime, is also an essential part of the plot. The film's director increased the ante by replacing the pearls with a 128.54-carat Tiffany yellow diamond necklace. The business also made a high-quality replica of the necklace for the movie.Share this article
