What show, film, or character has the best costume design?

I think the costumes in The Fall (with Lee Pace) and Charlize Theron's costumes in Snow White and the Huntsmen are some of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen.

Never seen The Fall but tons of people keep mentioning the costumes and saying what a beautiful film it is.

It does! His movie The Cell also has some cool costume design. This site has a breakdown of the costuming of both.

Warning: Has some nudity (female breasts) and BDSMish stuff for the first half on The Cell.

I know I watched The Fall specifically for the costumes because a friend was making one and wanted some expert advice. I remember literally nothing about the film but that it was in fact beautiful with loads of costume porn.

Eiko Ishioka's work is always amazing, although my favorite film she worked on is the cheesefest Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Lord of the Rings was amazing. Even the Hobbit movies, as many issues as they had, did great on costumes.

Star Wars costumes are great.

Legend of the Seeker had great costumes. Loved them.

Agree on Charlize Theron, and I'd add in the second movies as well.

I liked the costumes in the Warcraft movie.

+1 to Seeker

I love the Cat's outfits in Red Dwarf!

Black Panther had some great design...except for the actual BP suit.

Not just the costumes but the entire art direction of Maleficent in general. I'm not sure it was really that amazing or if it's just that it hits my particular aesthetic. (Or one of them, I should say.)

And I have previously expressed my awe at the costuming on Buck Rogers (especially the first season) but that's not so much "best costume design" as "wow, I can't believe they actually did THAT, the designer was either tripping or has TREMENDOUS balls. But it WORKS. How does that work?"

Game of Thrones was dogshit at the end but they still had amazing costume design at least. I especially loved Sansa's coronation gown.

I know the movie is shit, but I absolutely love the costume designs in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Colleen Atwood kicks ass, I loved her costumes for Sleepy Hollow.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with the Fall. It's also one of my favorite movies. And the costumes very much have to do with it.

I have fond memories of the costumes from Everafter. The final form Cinderella dress was just the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

Also going to mention the Matrix.

I have additional fond memories of Xena and Hercules outfits -- pretty much all mid-late 90s - early 2000s fantasy/cheesy sci-fi shows. Legend of the Seeker. Jack of all Trades. Cleopatra 2121. Dark Angel. Something about those shows. And the outfits.

Special shout out to the following Mexican/Colombian/Spanish novelas:
Amor Real
Zorro: La Espada y la Rosa
Águila Roja

Great period clothing.

I daydreamed a lot about the dresses in Ever After! And the fairy dress absolutely the most gorgeous.

It's hard to say but I've always been blown away by the costuming in 2006's "Marie Antoinette", especially all of Kirsten Dunst's outfits as the title character. I also love Asian historical costumes so shoutout to films like "Devdas" (India) and "Hero" (China).

And really, I loved the attention to detail (especially in Megan and Peggy and Sally's clothes in the last 2 seasons) in Mad Men. I also loved all the clothes Romy and Michele wore in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion".

There are probably other films with stunning clothing that I can't think of right now. Like all the costumes in "Crimson Peak". ISTG There are probably other really obvious films but I can't think right now.

Wishbone had some cute ones. Hee hee.

<3

Anon from upthread re: mis/late 90s tv shows. Wishbone gets it lol

Also, i just want to add i wanted to dress like Scully/early Law and Order SVU Benson. The pants. The oversized blazers. ugh. Here for it.

The Knight.s Story modern medieval costumes.
Stephen Strange magicians' clothes. Not sure about the evil guys eye makeup though.
Loved the main heroine's dresses in Garrow's Law.
Map and Lucia also did great. Those gay painter's time period appropriate outrageous outfits are something else!

You and a couple other people already mentioned Eiko Ishioka's work on The Fall, but my favorite costumes by her are Mina and Lucy's dresses for Bram Stoker's Dracula, with bonus points for old Dracula's red robe.

My favorite Colleen Atwood costumes are her designs for Sleepy Hollow.

And my favorite costume designs ever are Maria Bjornson's for the stage production of Lloyd-Webber's Phantom of the Opera; they're what got me into costuming.
