📷 My colour edit from Downton Abbey still (ITV/Carnival)
"Matthew can wear clothes so well".
said Eimer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh. She was the costume designer for Brideshead Revisited (and incidently also Freud's Last Session, his forthcoming film!!, I do love these connections).
Here is a little clip (🔊 sound on)
📷 The Making of Brideshead Revisited bonus feature, Bluray 📀
I feel this picture of Henry Talbot shows exactly what Eimer was talking about. His suit looks like it is part of him. Such innate elegance and beautiful deportment 💥
I have changed the background to purple 💜. There is a timeless, regal quality and elegance to it.

Becoming Jane 😊
Oh, Becoming Jane. One of the famous problematic babies of the Regency period. It’s set in 1796, but a number of the female characters are still wearing their gowns and stays from 1786 - and meanwhile, Anne Hathaway is dressed in an attempt at styles from after 1810.
You can really see the distinction in this promotional still:
Tumblr media
The women on the right side of the image have conical 18th century stays, drawn-up skirts (sometimes referred to as “polonaised”, but this is not a period term), triangular stomachers, and long sleeve ruffles on fitted sleeves - appropriate to the 1770s and 1780s. Jane, meanwhile, as the full puffed sleeves that didn’t become a trait of British fashion until near the end of the Napoleonic Wars (they were used in French fashion from ca. 1804, and were sometimes brought in by English women, but portraiture and fashion plates show most women in old-fashioned narrow sleeves until 1812-1813), a raised waistline, and closed skirt. Meanwhile meanwhile, the woman on the left is in a gathered chemise gown with curved sleeves and a little back emphasis in the skirt - which would actually be perfect for 1796.
I suspect that the designer, Eimer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh, was influenced by the 2005 Pride & Prejudice, which also juxtaposed Regency fashion with the 1780s in order to make a contrast between the fashionable and those a bit behind the times. In both cases, probably due to insufficient expertise, the production team was not able to do it with subtlety.
Tumblr media
This is my absolute least favorite outfit on Hathaway in the movie. I have problems with a lot of them (she has this really high bust profile with a natural waist, which just looks bad and doesn’t make much sense, since the high bust profile was a way of getting the waistline as high as possible), but this one just looks like a deliberate attempt to pander to mid-2000s fashion. The neckline is awkward and doesn’t match up with that of the shift underneath, which really should be a habit shirt or something worn over a shift; it’s also a fashionable type of dress rather than relaxed sportswear. See this probably posthumous portrait of Princess Charlotte:
Tumblr media
And the awkwardness of the way the fabric comes up from under the arms to meet the string running through the neckline ... I just can’t even.
Tumblr media
On the other hand, the men’s costumes are surprisingly appropriate for that specific moment in time, rather than being extremely old-fashioned or extremely ahead. The colors are subdued, the coats have turn-down collars and sizable revers (lapels - technically, “lapel” refers to the revers plus the collar), the shirts have standing but not very high collars, waistcoats are straight across at the bottom, etc. The hair is a little post-1800 - in 1796, most men were still wearing longer styles - but overall, the men’s clothing is very decent.

Costume Designer Eimer Ni Mhaoldomhnaigh: The Frock Flicks Guide
Irish costume designer Eimer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh might not be a big name (though she has a big Gaelic name!). Much of her work has been in Ireland on smaller films. But you may recognize a lot of these movies and the big-name actors in them, in particular the frock flicks. From reading interviews with her,...

My alternative 89th Academy Awards
And so here, as I do every year, is my alternative Oscars ceremony. This is what would happen tonight if I - and I alone - stuffed the ballots and decided on all of the nomination and all of the winners. Non-English language films are accompanied by their nation of origin (in FIFA three-letter code).
89th Academy Awards – February 26, 2017 Dolby Theatre – Hollywood, Los Angeles, California Host: Jimmy Kimmel Broadcaster: ABC
Best Picture: LA LA LAND
Arrival, Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Aaron Ryder, and David Linde (Paramount)
Fences, Todd Black, Scott Rudin, and Denzel Washington (Paramount)
Hell or High Water, Carla Hacken and Julie Yorn (CBS Films/Lionsgate)
La La Land, Fred Berger, Jordan Horowitz, and Marc Platt (Summit)
Moonlight, Adele Romanski, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner (A24)
O.J.: Made in America, Ezra Edelman (ESPN)
Our Little Sister (JPN), Kaoru Matsuzaki and Hijiri Taguchi (Toho Company)
The Red Turtle (FRA/BEL/JPN), Toshio Suzuki, Vincent Maraval, Pascal Caucheteux, Grégoire Sorlat, and Léon Perahia (Wild Bunch/Toho Company/ Lumière/Sony Pictures Classics)
The Salesman (IRN), Alexandre Mallet-Guy and Asghar Farhadi (Filmiran/Cohen Media Group)
Toni Erdmann (GER), Maren Ade, Jonas Dornbach, Janine Jackowski, and Michael Merkt (Komplizen Film/Sony Pictures Classics)
It’s a little disconcerting that only two major studio films are here. The mid-budget drama used to be the major studios’ bread-and-butter, and now that is gravitating ever more to the mini-majors and smaller studios. La La Land, Moonlight, O.J.: Made in America, and The Red Turtle all received 9/10 ratings from me. We essentially have a four-way tie for first, and I have to elevate one above the rest.
Some of my followers are gonna fume at my decision, but it’s La La Land for me. I approached that decision from a well-documented bias for musicals - fully aware of the film’s artistic, technical, and societal problems - the fact of the film’s cultural impact (I sometimes have a populist streak in how I see film history, and that’s a part of my personality), and personal taste (it came down to Moonlight and La La Land for me... I love both, but which movie would I not mind to waste 30 minutes on if nothing was on?).
If you ask me this question again in ten years’ time, my answer might very well change. I don’t have the luxury of hindsight right now.
Best Director
Damien Chazelle, La La Land
Michael Dudok de Wit, The Red Turtle
Ezra Edelman, O.J.: Made in America
Barry Jenkins, Moonlight
Hirokazu Koreeda, Our Little Sister
In my alternative Oscar universe, Koreeda nabs the latest of several nominations for Director, but he just can’t manage to break through in this category. It’s Jenkins for me, for crafting a story that I could not imagine having been filmed even five years ago.
Best Actor
Joel Edgerton, Loving
Andrew Garfield, Hacksaw Ridge
Ryan Gosling, La La Land
Sunny Pawar, Lion
Denzel Washington, Fences                                 
Sunny Pawar has to hold up that first half of Lion, and he does so spectacularly. I also introduce Edgerton here as well. Garfield had a career performance in Hacksaw Ridge, and Gosling is a bit underrated. But it’s the one fellow nominated here who I would call a genuine movie star - a term that is thrown about too often these days, but I think he embodies it - in Denzel Washington. It’s a difficult performance, that, and he has perfected it to a tee.
Best Actress
Taraji P. Henson, Hidden Figures
Isabelle Huppert, Elle
Lâm Thanh Mỹ, Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass (VIE)
Ruth Negga, Loving
Emma Stone, La La Land
You’re scratching your heads on that nomination for Lâm Thanh Mỹ, I know. She gave the child performance of the year for me in a dizzying display of a range of emotions. But in the end, it’s Huppert. I sneak in Henson and Negga as well.
Best Supporting Actor
Mahershala Ali, Moonlight
Jeff Bridges, Hell or High Water
John Goodman, 10 Cloverfield Lane
Lucas Hedges, Manchester by the Sea
Issey Ogata, Silence
Did you expect anything else?
Best Supporting Actress
Viola Davis, Fences
Naomie Harris, Moonlight
Suzu Hirose, Our Little Sister
Octavia Spencer, Hidden Figures
Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea
See above. Yet another child actress in Suzu Hirose, gets nominated... that’s three kids getting nominations in my alternative ceremony!
Best Adapted Screenplay
Park Chan-wook, The Handmaiden (KOR)
Eric Heisserer, Arrival
Barry Jenkins and Tarell McCraney, Moonlight
Hirokazu Koreeda, Our Little Sister
August Wilson, Fences (posthumous nomination)
Really, really tempted to give this to Wilson. So I hope, wherever he is, he didn’t mind this.
Best Original Screenplay
Stephen Chow, et al., The Mermaid (CHN)
Asghar Farhadi, The Salesman
Efthimis Filippou and Yorgos Lanthimos, The Lobster
Taylor Sheridan, Hell or High Water
Makoto Shinkai, Your Name (JPN)
Best Animated Feature
Kubo and the Two Strings (Laika/Focus)
Long Way North, France/Denmark (Maybe Movies/Sacrebleu Productions)
My Life as a Zucchini, Switzerland (Gébéka Films/GKIDS)
The Red Turtle, France/Belgium/Japan (Wild Bunch/Toho Company/ Lumière/Sony Pictures Classics)
Your Name, Japan (Funimation/Toho Company)
Zootopia was the second-best Disney film of the year, and it wasn’t even among the top five animated features of the year. Little-seen Long Way North and widely-seen Your Name (everywhere except North America, apparently) are in there instead. But The Red Turtle - a true transnational effort - is the best animated feature of the year.
Best Documentary Feature
I Am Not Your Negro (Velvet Film/Magnolia Pictures)
Life, Animated (A&E/The Orchard)
O.J.: Made in America (ESPN)
13th (Netflix)
Weiner (Motto Pictures/Sundance Selects)
I have to award ESPN’s ambitious 30 for 30 entry here. And it’s easily the best of the 30 for 30 films as well.
Best Foreign Language Film
Fire at Sea, Italy
The Handmaiden, South Korea
Our Little Sister, Japan
The Salesman, Iran
Toni Erdmann, Germany
Best Cinematography
Roger Deakins, Hail, Caesar!
James Laxton, Moonlight
Rodrigo Prieto, Silence
Linus Sandgren, La La Land
Bradford Young, Arrival
Best Film Editing
Tom Cross, La La Land
John Gilbert, Hacksaw Ridge
Bret Granato, Maya Mumma, and Ben Sozanski, O.J.: Made in America
Joi McMillon and Nat Sanders, Moonlight
Blu Murray, Sully
Best Original Musical
Gary Clark, Sing Street
Justin Hurwitz, La La Land
Mark Mancina, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Opetaia Foa’I, Moana
Best Original Musical is a category that must be activated by the Academy’s Music Branch, given that there are enough movie musical submitted for consideration. As I felt like there were enough movie musicals to warrant the activation of this category, I put these three films here (also, I wanted La La Land out of Original Score to preserve the category’s intent - to honor a film’s score, rather than its soundtrack). It has not been given under its current name; the last recipient of this award was Prince for Purple Rain (1984).
Best Original Score
John Debney, The Jungle Book
James Newton Howard, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Dario Marianelli, Kubo and the Two Strings
Laurent Perez Del Mar, The Red Turtle
John Williams, The BFG
Best Original Song
“Another Day of Sun”, music by Justin Hurwitz, lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, La La Land
“Audition (The Fools Who Dream)”, music by Justin Hurwitz, lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, La La Land
“Drive It Like You Stole It”, composed by Gary Clark Sing Street
“How Far I’ll Go”, composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Moana
“No Wrong Way Home”, music by Alexis Harte and JJ Wiesler, lyrics by Alexis Harte, Pearl
Yes, I have the audacity to nominate a song from a short film in here - “No Wrong Way Home” from Pearl. And “City of Stars” shouldn’t have been nominated, despite it being the earworm.
Best Costume Design
Colleen Atwood, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Madeline Fontaine, Jackie
Mary Zophres, La La Land
Eimer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh, Love & Friendship
Dante Ferretti, Silence
Best Makeup & Hairstyling
Daniel Phillips, Florence Foster Jenkins

Best Production Design
Patrice Vermette and Paul Hotte, Arrival

Quote
On dressing Ben Whishaw, the talented young British actor who plays the doomed Sebastian Flyte, Ni Mhaoldomhnaigh notes, “Ben is very relaxed, which worked well for Sebastian because you want him to have a total ease with what he’s wearing. You want him to look gorgeous and individual and fascinating, so that everyone turns to look at him.” (Whishaw told Ni Mhaoldomhnaigh that he was always amazed how a piece of clothing could change the way he felt about a character. It does, he said, an awful lot for him as an actor). Says Ni Mhaoldomhnaigh, “For Ben taking on the mantle of Sebastian Flyte after Anthony Andrews iconic portrait must have been pretty daunting for him. So I think it’s really important for the costume designer to be aware of that.
