Iconic Movie Costumes on Display

Famous screen costumes photographed where they live now: museum cases, studio tours and touring exhibitions. Each photo shows the costume itself, from Dorothy's ruby slippers to Harley Quinn's red tulle, with the film, the character and, where known, the designer, and what the cut, color or fabric tells you about the person wearing it. They run in order of the films' release. A costume earned a place by being recognizable on sight and by being photographed clearly on display, mostly at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the Cinémathèque française and the Star Wars and the Power of Costume tour. Marilyn Monroe's white subway dress, Darth Vader's suit, Indiana Jones's fedora and the Black Panther suit are absent because no large, clear photo of the displayed original turned up.
