Three time
Oscar-winner,
Colleen Atwood, is one of the five accomplished
Costume Designers in the running for an
Academy Award this year for her work in
Into the Woods, and here is another selection of her fabulous designs on display at the
El Capitan Theatre in
Hollywood on January 6, 2015.
Original Into the Woods movie costumes on display
Rob Marshall directed this
Disney adaptation of the
Stephen Sondheim Tony Award-winning musical, which offers a new, twisted take on familiar
Brothers Grimm fairytale characters, like the rags-to-riches story of
Cinderella and her unpleasant
Stepmother and
Stepsisters.

The wonderful
Christine Baranski stars as
Cinderella's Stepmother in this musical adaptation, whilst
Lucy Punch plays
'Lucinda' and
Tammy Blanchard plays
'Florinda',
Cinderella's horrid
Stepsisters.

Apparently the designer gave this farcical family a burlesque
'trying-to-get-a-man' look, with fishnets and short black skirts with metallic accents.
In fact the
Stepmother is so intent on getting her daughters married off, she even resorts to mutilation so their feet will fit into
Cinderella's golden slipper when
'Prince Charming' comes calling.

If you love these extravagant embroidered and lace outfits (I know the costumers amongst you will), be sure to also check out
Anna Kendrick's Cinderella dress and more
Into the Woods movie costumes on display at this temporary exhibit.

Also included within the
Into the Woods exhibit at the
El Capitan Theatre were these fans used by
Cinderella's step-family.
Be sure to stick around in the days to come for even more screen-used props and costumes featured in this big screen musical.
