11 Times Designers Created Costumes That You Can’t Find Any Fault in

Do you know what can take the audience out of a movie or TV show's story completely? Bad clothes on film.
Creating a convincing world for the audience to get lost in while watching a film or television program is just as important as great direction and the actors' brilliant performances. Costume is one of the important factors determining this. In addition to defining the world in which the characters exist—for example, by defining the time period or nation they live in—costumes may also say so much about who the characters are as people. Sometimes it's worth watching a movie even if it doesn't deliver in other areas just to see the stunning costume design.
For this list, we’ll be looking at our favorite films and examining how the costume designers nailed the outfits. We are sure that anyone can find it interesting. So, what are you waiting for without soaking into it with us?

Taking viewers back to the 14th century was a difficult assignment for the costume designer. The director instructed the designer to utilize impartial, even light hues in order to make the clothing and décor appear genuine. Several of the frames seemed to be really classical paintings from the Renaissance era, which was a remarkable accomplishment for the team.
Jodie Comer, the actress who portrayed the lead, described having to put on 17 layers of clothes in addition to wearing enormous wooden shoes. They created a sound on the cobblestones that the director loved.

#2 ASSEMBLED: The Making of Eternals

Along with having a star-studded cast and excellent special effects, this movie also has some interesting character costumes. The costume designer stated that it was crucial to her that the characters seemed authentic and that their clothing did not resemble uniforms. Also, each "Eternal" has a unique hue that accurately depicts their amazing abilities based on the element they govern, such as Earth, Air, Water, etc. Moreover, diverse colors are included to emphasize each character's uniqueness.

#3 House of Gucci

Costume designers had to choose 400–500 costumes for the movie about one of the most fashionable families in the fashion industry. Of course, Lady Gaga's portrayal of Patrizia Reggiani has some of the most stunning appearances. Her unique personality was highlighted by her colorful attire as well as her extensive jewelry collection. Together with multiple bracelets and chains, Lady Gaga sported enormous earrings. A nice illustration is when Patrizia is wearing 4 golden necklaces in the scene where she and her husband are visiting a ski resort.
The girl's mood was also shown by her clothing throughout the film. Patrizia is fairly innocent and cute in the beginning of the narrative, before she marries Maurizio Gucci. She dresses in pretty polka-dot dresses and airy trench jackets. After their wedding, Patrizia radically alters her style to incorporate provocative clothing from high-end companies. She starts to dress in jeans and a dark leather motorcycle jacket as their divorce and the film's conclusion draw closer.

The costume designer claims that Patrizia gradually develops into an angry lady who is concerned with revenge and doesn't care what she is wearing.

#4 West Side Story

Based on the famous 1961 film, Steven Spielberg's brand-new musical. Maria's appearance ended up being one of the most carefully considered in both Movies. She conveys her purity and freshness with the white lace outfit she dons for the dances when she meets Tony. It does have one significant feature, though: a crimson belt. It suggests that Maria will soon make the transition to adulthood and represents her maturation into a lady.

#5 Sex and the City and And Just Like That...

A while back, Sex and the City established itself as an authoritative source on New York's fashion scene in the 2000s. Naturally, many fans were excited to see the characters' new appearances when it was revealed that the cult series will continue. The famous tutu skirt was worn by Carrie once more by the costume designers to demonstrate the connection between the first season and the sequel, but it had been slightly altered so that it appeared as if the intervening 18 years had never happened and that we were once again watching our old friends on screen.
We would be remiss if we didn't include the stunning coral Valentino dress with pink gloves while discussing the costumes for And Just Like That.

This appearance was developed for the movie's climactic scene, in which Carrie is shown standing on the Paris bridge where Mr. Big had professed his undying love for her and where she now wishes to deposit his ashes.“There was no other option. It reminded me of Empress Josephine... perfect for a scene in France.” said the costume designer.

#6 Dune

Working on this amazing production required the creation of almost 1,000 distinct outfits. The costume is "the bridge from the actor to the character - it allows them to slip into a different guise and try out a new attitude," the costume designer said.
Lady Jessica—Rebecca Ferguson, for example, had an outfit that was constantly changing because it was important to express her vulnerability and strength. She appears to be wearing a protective shell-like black outfit with modest clothing at first. That enables our heroine to remain totally hidden from the outer world. Eventually, Jessica's attire becomes more opulent and even richer, but she still covers her face with masks and veils to signify her status as a concubine. True, she is dressed in royal attire, but she is still restrained. She finally dons a unique outfit and displays her physical prowess after realizing that she must adapt to the new environment and survive in it.

#7 The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel series' main character dazzled the audience not only with her sense of comedy but also with her expensive attire. The difficult goal for the costume designers was to recreate the fashionable era of the 1950s on television while also fitting the clothing to the story. Midge's multiple colorful coats serve as her defense as a result. They are  “the equivalent of a superhero cape — transfiguring, protective, emotional armor that emboldens and empowers her as a character,” according to the costume designer.

#8 Squid Game

This South Korean series quickly rose to fame around the globe, mostly as a result of its distinctive design. The clothing design particularly won over the fans' admiration. The guards' pink uniforms and green tracksuits have become two of the most identifiable features. This particular shade of green was instantly recognized to Korean viewers since it was inspired by the fondly remembered tracksuits that young children wore on Field Days in 1970s Korea. A combination of color theory and symbolism was used in the selection of the colors. In the color wheel, that particular pink is in opposition to the tracksuit green, demonstrating that the players and the guards are rivals even on the most fundamental basis.
One of the most enigmatic characters is The Front Man, who is fully clothed in black and has a mask that is symmetrically arranged. The Front Man's mask, according to the series' director, pays homage to Darth Vader, the primary antagonist in Star Wars.

Also, this feature was intended to set the Front Man apart from the guards, players, and VIPs.

#9 Spencer

The intention of the costume designers for this film was not to completely replicate Princess Diana's clothing. They meticulously examined the fashion choices she made between 1988 and 1992 to identify the key ensembles, color combinations, and styling tricks. Finally, the clothing practically took on a personality of its own. For instance, the clothing was meant to represent the character's attitude; bright colors with somber backdrops represented Diana's despair. The princess would stand out from the other family members because of her colorful attire and formal dress, which contrasted with the dark, neutral colors of their apparel.
By the way, Kristen Stewart's body shape wasn't appropriate for the character of Diana. The actress' height was visually enlarged thanks to some clever clothing design. For instance, they might alter the dimensions of her clothing and boost the waistlines. Of course, the cameramen's flawless job was a major factor in this as well.

#10 Death on the Nile

When designing the outfit for Linnet Doyle, the millionaire's heiress in Death on the Nile, the costume designer intended to emphasize not just her riches but also her fragility and weakness. He selected flowing garments in delicate pastel colors for it.
Another crucial aspect of the narrative is the theft of some jewelry that was related to the main crime. The robber took a pearl necklace in Agatha Christie's novel, on which the movie is based. The movie's director decided to boost the ante and swap the pearls for a necklace made of 128.54 carats of Tiffany yellow diamonds. Even a high-quality replica of the necklace was made by the manufacturer for the movie.

#11 Don’t Look Up

In the satirical comedy Don't Look Up, Meryl Streep's character rose to the status of being one of the most affluent. In the plot, she plays the role of the president of the United States, although the director gave the costume designer a slightly different description of her. Meryl Streep "takes you on a journey through Hades," he declared. Because of this, the costume designer determined that Janie Orlean should wear only red clothing at the start and conclusion of the film. By the way, Armani created each and every one of her costumes, highlighting her riches throughout the movie.
Pay close attention to her wristwatch. She is donning a Piaget timepiece dubbed Very Lady. This is a genuine watch model from the 1960s of the previous century.
