drew barrymore's renaissance-style ball costume from the film 'ever after: a cinderella story', (1998).

"It was a tough film to make – as it was filmed in the Dordogne with little access to fabric shops! We made as much as we could in London but still had to set up a studio in France with skilled seamstresses on site. I was given a free reign in terms of design. The costumes were loosely based on early 1500s silhouettes, but I wanted them to be magical rather than slavishly realistic - with more of a fairytale feel. The idea for the wings came from the script. Leonardo da Vinci was Danielle’s sort of fairy godmother and I based them on Leonardo’s drawings of his ideas for man made flight. The wings were made in London by Naomi Critcher had to flown over by plane with their own seat next to me. There were only two pairs made. This pair was intentionally distressed to reflect the character’s dismay as she sits forlorn in a doorway being pelted with rain, nursing her broken heart." - jenny beavan, costume designer

A rather interesting take on the dreaded relatability, this (for Renaissance fashions) unusually loose suede doublet with more than a little nod to 1980s rock chic was designed by Jenny Beavan for Dougray Scott’s prince as well as Mark Lewis’ “gypsy leader” in Ever After, the 1998 take on Cinderella.

A bit sidelined it turned up again on an uncredited extra as a huntsman in the television adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl in 2003.

This costume was auctioned off by Kerry Taylor Auctions, which described the piece as follows:

Designed by Jenny Beavan, Cosprop labelled with inked actor’s name, the Renaissance style ensemble comprising: beige mock-suede doublet with slash detail to neck and shoulders, the fabric gathered at the cuffs and shoulders, gilt filigree plaques, chest approx 107cm 42in; matching trousers with integral cod-piece, gilt metal-tipped laces, waist 86cm 34in; a silver lamé and gilt thread brocaded belt; purple corduroy cloak with detachable hood; an associated white cotton shirt with drawstring collar and cuffs; and a pair of brown leather thigh- high boots with straps and buckles at the ankles, boots 33cm, 13in long (8)

Worn throughout the film, while riding including when he rescues Danielle from the water and while fighting in the woods and being carried away by Danielle.

Designer Jenny Beavan writes:

Dougray played Prince Henry – the romantic hero – but was always being saved by ‘Cinderella’ – the film has a nice feminist, modern twist to it.

He needed to look heroic but ‘real’ and vulnerable. This costume is an ‘every day princely look’ but quite practical for riding and being out and about in the country. Just looking back at the photos Dougray does look rather good in it!

The dress from 1998's Ever After recently sold at Kerry Taylor auctions in London, from the Cosprop archives, to benefit The Bright Foundation (an arts-based education charity based in Hastings UK, which provides free access to creative activities, visual and performance arts for children and young people facing disadvantage)

Images from the auction house show details of the embroidery and base fabrics, as well as how the wings were attached (through button holes in the dress to slot into a channel in the separate, boned bodice worn underneath)

Wings are included, which are those worn after the ball, and are screen-distressed/torn on one side - apparently worn in the scene by the door, as Danielle returns home.

Described as "the Renaissance style gown of goffered pale-gold gauze, finely worked with purl embroidered flowers and spangled with 'pearl' droplets, integral ivory satin under-slip with quilted hem; cotton petticoat and separate boned and mesh corset; together with a pair of tulle and wire-framed wings, intentionally distressed"

#hilariously underestimated at like 1k by the house which they obviously smashed to 16k at hammer #i mean OBVIOUSLY #ever after #jenny beavan #embroidery #renaissance #they sold the main prince henry outfit at the same time - I believe the same bidder got both which I find oddly comforting

It was lovely to finally see Stephen Soucy’s Merchant Ivory documentary on the big screen at BFI Flare 2024 this afternoon, and the stars/crew/Merchant Ivory family were out in force. Guess who:

(1) looked startlingly younger in person that they do in the documentary (or they have a lookalike)

(2) was spotted popping in and out of the screening, and in and out of the hospitality room for beers

Also spotted: costume-design legend Jenny Beavan, Adrian Ross Magenty (Tibby Schlegel/deleted Dickie Barry) and Rupert sitting next to (looked like) A Room With A View’s cinematographer Tony Pierce-Roberts.

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Green Redux (+ Blue Redux)

Possession / Jennifer Ehle as Christabel LaMotte

This post is dedicated to Christabel's deep green traveling cloak, which she wears on an extended trip to Yorkshire in 1859. Green seems to be a bit of a theme color for that trip, as she often wears the cloak over a green dress. This may be symbolic of new beginnings (etc.), or the color may have been chosen simply because it looks great with the character's red hair! I like the double edging of embroidered bands.

Costumes for this movie are by Jenny Beavan.

One Dress a Day-Part Three!

June: Weddings

Sense and Sensibility- Kate Winslet as Marianne Dashwood

It’s a pity that this dress is only in the movie for about two minutes, because it is so gorgeous!  I didn’t even know this dress had a train until I saw the display photos.  I love the color of the fabric, it really gives the impression of something made out of gold...and also demonstrates how Marianne has moved up, socially, marrying a man much wealthier than she is.  

I love the delicate embroidery and that stiff collar...I read somewhere that the dress was trimmed with straw, but I haven’t seen anything that supports that.  And that bonnet with her veil is so cute!  I’m glad they didn’t cheat with a more “traditional veil”.

And I have to give a shoutout to Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon, looking very dashing in his military uniform!

Jenny Beavan possibly designed this russet-colored gown for Anjelica Huston to wear as Rodmilla de Ghent in the 1998 film Ever After. However, because some of Huston’s costumes were worn in previous productions, such as her headdress, which can be found here, it’s possible that this gown dates to an earlier film.

The costume was seen later in 2002, being worn by Jennifer Ehle as Christabel LaMotte in the adaptation of the A. S. Byatt novel Possession. Ehle is no stranger to recycled costumes, having appeared in them many times. 

Finally, the gown was seen being worn by an extra as a courtier in the short-lived musical television show Galavant, where it appeared in the 2015 pilot episode.

Costume design for the movie Mrs. Harris goes to Paris.

Costume designer Jenny Beavan interpreted a Spring-Summer 1949 Christian Dior Haute Couture cocktail dress that evoked the bouquet of the Miss Dior fragrance through a profusion of hand-sewn lily of the valley, rose, lilac and forget-me-not petals.
