15 movies with absolutely amazing costume design 🏆👗🎉

if you've been watching the channel for a while then you know that i have a HUGE love for film and fashion (it's basically the entire reason i started making these youtube videos). i wanted to try a different kind of video that was a little more opinionated, and i wound up with this! considering how many films have been released in the last hundred years (and will be released in the future), i wouldn't be surprised if some of my choices change, but for now these are my favorites (when it comes to clothes, not in general). obviously it's just my opinion, so if you disagree that's fine (just don't be mean about it ok). what movie has your favorite costume design?

[@psychoshamrock]

here's a lovely piece of trivia for you. When Madonna performed Vogue in her Marie Antoinette look in 1990, one of those costumes came from Close's portrayal of Madame de Merteuil in Dangerous Liasions. If you have never rented this film, it's a gem from 1988, and you can find the scene where it came from! Close gave it to her, they went into rehearsals, and boom! A piece of VMA history was made just 2 years after the film debuted. It's a wondrous movie and Madonna killed it back when MTV still played (and had a lot of fun with) music.

[@junebug77544]

The author of Memoirs of a Geisha Arthur Golden interviewed Mineko Iwasaki and used her life story for the novel. Iwasaki later sued golden having cited a breach of confidentiality and later sued and settled out of court. Iwasaki later wrote Geisha A Life which I strongly recommend reading.

[@kiaaurora]

He didn't really use "her" story. The action of the book is set much earlier that Mineko's lifetime. She was mad and embarrassed that he published their secrets (like young maiko's virginity being bid on and sold to the highest bidder). She said this was untrue but since then it was confirmed by independent interviews of other elderly geisha

[@angelabby2379]

If anyone who have read mineko's book know that mineko personality is hatsumomo. She is despicable, she tried to break off married man and told him to divorce her wife and child. This woman is vicious as shown from the way she treated arthur golden. Arthur golden book is more accurate than mineko biased filtered book. So yeah please do research. Mineko dismissed the mizuage when it is actually practiced, and how did she even cheated with a married man without having sekx . Mineko the faker. I truly hate people like her who take advantage of people's view Mineko literally feel like Amber heard, yeah at first people believe johnny deep abused amber, and then the truth comes out.

[@pennyc11]

I read the book too after the movie. The most difficult part was the main roles are played by a Chinese and a Taiwanese actress'. I own it. It is beautiful and tragic. Understanding though the history of these two countries? I wish it was cast differently. Maybe for this reason, Curse of the Golden Flower might deserve a higher ranking? I was impressed that you mentioned, House of the Flying Daggers. Another beautifully dressed and written movie. I would add the most recent movie version of, Sweeney Todd. Helena had amazing costumes, so did the supporting cast. Another wardrobe that tells the story to me. I own most of the movies on your list. The Shirley McLaine one I never heard of but will try to check it out. It does look amazing.

[@aloha8827]

Also this is random but Crazy Rich Asians fancy outfits like the gold wedding dress was gorgeous but like obviously not every single outfit and that this movie would have some of the absolute best outfits throughout but like that was the first time in awhile I really appreciated the outfits in the movies again like it was something so gorgeous and made the mood so much more and a new touch than I’m used to as an absolute amateur:)

[@joeyisreading]

I actually liked the choices of outfits in that movie, as someone who has lived in both North America and Asia I feel they really depicted the difference in fashion really well. In the beginning Rachel was dressed in a way that literally screams "American-born Chinese". And gaudy outfits of her friend's family clearly tells audiences who are familiar with Asian fashion that their family was dressed like the typical "new-rich", which gives so much untold information about their status and class in society.

This is probably my favorite channel now. Warning: Emotions. I'm a trans woman who transitioned pretty early, like 12-13. I'm 28 now, and these videos are helping me remember something about why I loved movies (specifically movies that centered costume design) as a kid. Something about clothes helps us visualize identity, put it into material terms. Thinking about fashion and dress helped me understand the kind of woman I wanted to be, and try to come up with a vision for myself that I could be at home in. So many of these movies-- the period pieces, the wacky comedies, the fantasies-- helped me "try on" different sides to myself while I was still figuring out my gender. Flash forward, I'm 28 now, depressed, overworked, underpaid. A lot of the time I dress just for pragmatism. But this channel has helped remind me of the magic of "dress up" and really, the magic of femininity, as they first appeared to me so many years ago.

It was actually a Statement to wear such clothes as the society of Her time period just wore what was fashionable in the US and Europe at the time (1920's to 1950's). She wore them to simbolize her connection to her origins and to distinguish herself from other painters and important figures from all over the world that befriended and surrounded her. Even at the time when she was born in 1907 the Fashion for the upper classes (the one she came from and lived in) was of French inspiration as popularized by the President/dictator Porfirio Díaz. Frida was actually of German descent(by her father) but her choice of clothing was to reflect the love for her country. Actually she alongside her husband Diego where the ones who inspided their contemporaries to look at popular or common mexican art of indigenous roots for inspiration instead of following yet again foreign trends

I feel Baby Driver could maybe get an honourable mention in how subtle it shows the characters traits. Bats always wears red as he is always angry, and acts as a red heron to the main villain, buddy who always wears black. Deborah often wears yellow, which was Baby’s mother’s favourite colour, representing familiarity etc. Baby’s jacket is black and white, showing how he’s stuck inbetween a good life (his foster father, in which I will add that when he’s with him, he wears white, showing no mixed feelings, and his life with Deb) and his life of crime. Also at the end, Baby is wearing all black (and grey) to show he has gone further down the life of crime. This is probably completely ott but I thinks it’s cool

[@peachesandcream8753]

House of Flying Daggers was *chefs kiss* beautiful. I absolutely love that movie and gawk at the costumes every single time. I love Chinese fashion from that era because it's elegant and flowy so no wonder the Chinese themselves favour that era.

[@TheAvatarxpotter]

I love you for just mentioning 'Harlots', that show doesn't get enough love, also the work you put into your videos is incredible!

[@adnama626]

Yes! And Harlots is such an amazing show. The clothing? Amazing.

[@amayacleveland1493]

This channel has absolutely saved me during quarantine, I am always looking for videos talking about fashion AND movies at the same time, and this channel is like my dream come true. I’ve already recommended it to multiple people. We would be best friends in real life❤️

[@AppleBloom21]

Thank you for recognizing Ruth Carter. Her creativity for African Centric clothing is beyond inspiring and lovely. As a African Anerican it's nice to see other races and cultures appreciate the beauty, culture, innovation in her African tribal clothing. Also, you're other movies choices were great as well. You thought me something about fashion.

[@akilahs3889]

I love how much variety you include in your list and most of these movie I’ve seen and truly loved! The fashion definitely makes the movie better!

[@christinaaruffo9534]

It is both weird and lovely to find someone who has seen and loved all the same movies

[@rosiemiranda-marin8309]

I love how you put so much effort into pronouncing peoples names correctly 💕

[@xhexie21]

I LOVE The Glass Slipper!! Always thought the costumes in it were gorgeous 😍

[@Rajnoir]

Eiko Ishioka and April Napier did amazing work for the film “The Cell” which I feel should get more recognition. At least for it’s costume design 🖤🖤

[@ishika_0_574]

I know it is about movie but in game of thrones's deeneryas and Margery costume are so gorgeous. You should make a separate list about tv series

[@snakkomsex]

I really love Cersei and Brienne's costumes too. The power dressing is gorgeous. There are many beautiful men's costumes as well.

[@ariandrajones5937]

YOUR TASTE!! I 100% agree w you on most of these movies since I have seen them and im so happy one of my favorite channels has recognized the wardrobes in these movies! i love your videos and I'm so happy you made this one especially! thank you for your hard work and I can't wait for the next video :D 💖

[@kaleighsue8463]

I cannot get enough of this video! 😍 LOVE it! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@janellimarie]

I completely agree with your choices. So glad you mentioned Curse of the Golden Flower and The Duchess! Those are my faves as well. I loved costume design in The Tourist as well!

[@amyd5179]

Your channel is insane. The amount of research, love and passion that went into this is amazing. Great job!

[@clemb1794]

Another amazing video! You are so underrated. One of my personal favourite films in terms of costume design and set pieces is "the fall" directed by tarsem singh, costumes by eiko ishioka

[@TY-gj6fb]

a movie I saw that took my breath away with costume design was "Somewhere in Time" it opened my eyes with how basic our clothes are in our era today i wish we could bring back the beautiful fabrics and layer styles from that era you guys should check it out!!!! the craftsmanship in making those clothes is astounding

[@anthonyhebisen]

Gorgeous film. And I get what you saying . Even when the movie was filmed in 1980 , people dressed more formal Than they do now. I remember when I was a kid, my parents would dress to the nines when they traveled by airplane . People used to do that , and I wish they still did. We’ve become so lazy :

[@TY-gj6fb]

@@anthonyhebisen that's so true! we're lucky that we get to wear more casual clothes today but sometimes i wish everyone still dressed the way people dress before :\

[@lucycat241]

Thanks for highlighting the House of Flying Daggers and Memoirs of a Gisha. Amazing costumes.

[@deactivateduser9816]

Love the video! I wanna recommend Belle de Jour and When a Woman Ascends the Stairs also for really amazing costumes and plot💕

[@boni9033]

Charlie's Angels 2019 was really stylish for me. it represented their characters and how they wanted to portray themselves as disguises. maybe it's just my love for streetwear casual, but i always find myself rewatching the movie for ideas

[@EmphaticNod]

Absolutely love this list, as well as how many honorable mentions you made time for! Good costume design is one of those things that always makes or breaks a film for me.

[@jramirez8637]

Costume design is such an underrated field. So many people don't realize how important the costumes can be to the overall film

[@dubudubudan]

I think you'd love the movie Phantom Thread, it's about a tailor and his partner, and all of the outfits are stunning, unsurprisingly

[@moriahforbes8242]

Omg you mentioned Glenn Close’s costume clause!!!! I’m dead

[@joannemartin4446]

I’m seriously impressed I love fashion and movies fashion and some of your picks are amazing.and my favourites.

[@dimplesd8931]

I loved that you included films with people of color and designers of color. Great video. More please

[@omfug7148]

I love the care that you took pronouncing the foreign names!

[@lucileap2034]

I found your channel just a few weeks ago and I feel so blessed bc your videos are so great, I feel in such a great mood after watching them ! And this video was really good, inspirational and educational as well, so well done !!

[@lynnejones257]

This is a fantastic video. I love costume dramas and I love your take on them. Thank you for putting so much time and effort. Keep safe and well Lynne

[@baileyowens6906]

Loved all your picks and the amount of detail you covered! I really like the costume design in Fantastic Beasts!

[@victoriachen5177]

BRUH! SHE DESIGNED FOR MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ! HOLD THE PHONE !

[@athenangelic]

Seeing my name at the end warmed my heart. So happy I could help a little bit, keep up the great work!

[@wmperkins25]

Nice video, nicely done too, I must agree with all of your choices, all excellent examples of customs design put together in one video - thanks !

[@sierraburror5121]

I was so hoping you would mention Elizabeth!! Its amazing, I can't say enough about the eye holding costume design.

[@danielzhou2972]

Can I just note how much I appreciate her effort to try to pronounce things right? Especially in the movies that weren’t English, I could tell she was really trying her best to pronounce them correctly. I was especially shocked at her chinese pronunciation, she got the tones almost perfect🖤💗another compliment is just the shear amount of effort that was put into this video, when I was watching it I couldn’t help but wonder how someone got all this information and didn’t rip their hair out, and It was also very sweet to see you credit the people who helped you in the end!👍👍

[@EmareeVA]

I love the costumes in the classic (yet strange) Australian film "The Dressmaker," starring Kate Winslet and Liam Hemsworth and so many other amazing Aussie actors. The time period and setting makes it really hard to nail down a theme in the fashion. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It get's strange but if you are into mystery and a little bit of craziness, as well as some heart-wrenching moments, try it!

[@sweetamyleigh]

Your GWTW Scarlett dress video was recommended to me, and now I'm down the rabbit hole of your vids. Fab channel!!!

[@emanhisham5062]

The music, your good opinion, and all these colors are just what doctor orders 😍 Thanks

[@yeehawiguess5819]

One of my favorites is the Sisi trilogy depicting the empress of Austria’s life. Though some of the costumes aren’t historically accurate, every single dress and the costumes in the three movies are jaw dropping. It’s a German movie, the one with Romy Schneider and it’s stunning.

[@adarcus4053]

The fashion of The Devil Wears Prada was a huge insperation for me as I was growing up and finding my style.

[@sailorarwen6101]

Adarcus same, I think about dressing like that everyday...and then I put on sweats

[@adarcus4053]

@@sailorarwen6101 In my case it led me to attending my university classes in skirts dress pants heels and as put together as I could make myself when I would try to sleep as long as possible. Actually found that it forced me to concentrate more and keep my academic life in line with my physical appearance. My family is actually quite shocked whenever I show up in sweats because it just doesn't happen.

[@raizahasmath5580]

Hats off to you for including Devdas!

[@catherinehubbard7283]

Mirror mirror is my all time favorite! I’m so glad you included it even in an honorable mention!
