In Baz Luhrmann's 2001 over-the-top romantic musical movie, Moulin Rouge!, a poor Bohemian English poet named 'Christian' (played by Ewan McGregor) falls for a beautiful courtesan and cabaret star named 'Satine' (Nicole Kidman) at the infamous Moulin Rouge in 1890s Paris. However the Parisian nightclub singer has been promised to a Duke by her manager to help fund his next production, but as the young lovers meet in secret, Satine hides a fatal secret from both Christian and her betrothed.

This duo of Oscar-winning costumes from the movie were photographed on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 13, 2025.
Catherine Martin and Angus Strathie are the Academy Award-winning Costume Designers on the 2001 film.
Satine's pink diamonds costume is from the film's "Sparkling Diamonds" sequence, a musical adaptation of the song "Diamonds Are a Girl's best Friend", and this is the showgirl pink diamanté corselet with ostrich feather tail that she changes into during the musical scene.
Meanwhile I believe Christian's tailcoat was made in both plain and sparkling versions for the romantic fantasy "Your Song" dance sequence.
And if you like musical movies, you may also like a closer look at Christina Aguilera's movie costumes from Burlesque and this Folies Bergère-inspired movie costume from Nine on display.
