On my most recent visit to Universal Studios Hollywood's costume and props archive exhibit, the costume that really caught my magpie eye, was this elegant and elaborate ensemble worn by Léa Seydoux as 'Isabelle of Angoulême' in Ridley Scott's 2010 cinematic version of Robin Hood.

England's King John after he annuls his first marriage to sire an heir and gain claim to the
Castilian throne.
Isabella of Angoulême was the young
Queen consort of
England and second wife to

French actress is described as
'The King is dead' change.

Janty Yates was
Costume Designer on
Robin Hood, and if you like this exquisite costume, be sure to also check out
Cate Blanchett's Lady Marion costume and
Russell Crowe's Crusader Knight costume from Robin Hood previously seen on display.

In addition to the fabulous detailed golden costume, they also had this art department production model ship from the
Middle Ages as part of the movie exhibit.
