Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor “She blended in — there was no ‘Kitty’s world,’” “Oppenheimer” production designer Ruth De Jong says of the woman portrayed by Emily Blunt in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster. Kitty is a scientist with her own ambitions when she meets J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), the man who led the atomic bomb project.

While we love watching all the drama and romance unfold, it’s the beautiful costumes that catch our attention and the intricate detailing that has clearly gone into each individual piece. We’ve done some digging and found out some juicy details on the costumes from the colour palette to why there were no bonnets in sight...

Nicola Coughlan is getting candid about the challenges she had with her Bridgerton costume!

Fearful of footwear. Nicola Coughlan’s bright dresses and floral headpieces may have taken center stage in Bridgerton season one, but fans might have noticed that the show leaned into the 35-year-old actress’ shorter stature. 

Regencycore style may not be all it’s cracked up to be. Because even though Bridgerton made empire-waist gowns and corsets galore pretty popular, leading lady Simone Ashley says the constricting attire caused her to tear her shoulder. 

Sharon Stone is spilling details about the infamous white dress she wore in "Basic Instinct." The actress revealed in an InStyle essay she was part curator of her wardrobe for the film, handpicking the number she wore for a scene in the 1992 film in which she sits cross-legged on a couch while smoking a cigarette. "The costume designer, Ellen Mirojnick, took me to Rodeo Drive and said, ‘You can pick out any one thing that you want for your character,'" Stone wrote in the magazine’s latest issue.

Killer fashion! Sharon Stone had a fair share of “memorable” looks in Basic Instinct (read: that white dress) — and she made a point to keep each and every outfit after filming wrapped.

"At this point in my life, the idea that I could go into one of those high-end stores where a purse costs $20,000 and not feel like an impostor was beyond my comprehension."Sharon, a newcomer to film at the time, felt it was important to be able to keep her wardrobe, largely based on the fact that co-star Michael Douglas was making $14 million for the movie.
