I love this time of year in
L.A., it's when all the
Oscar hopefuls start coming out of the woodwork and studios try and support their films however they can, like for example with movie costume exhibits at flagship
Hollywood cinemas. Here's a wonderful collection of film fashion from
Cate Blanchett and
Rooney Mara's new film,
Carol, on display at
ArcLight Hollywood on November 17, 2015.
Original film costumes from Carol on display
These wardrobe pieces worn by the two actresses in the film set in the 1950s
New York were also accompanied by concept sketches by
Oscar-winning
Costume Designer Sandy Powell, which was a lovely touch.
You can also check out her
Academy Award-nominated
costumes from The Tempest and
costumes from Hugo on this blog, plus she's also worked with
Cate Blanchett before
on
Disney's live-action Cinderella movie costumes.

In director
Todd Haynes adaptation of
Patricia Highsmith's acclaimed 1952 novel,
The Price of Salt, two women from very different backgrounds are drawn to one another in an expected love affair in 1950s
New York.
Costumes worn by Cate Blanchett as Carol Aird
In the movie
Cate Blanchett plays
'Carol Aird', a housewife and mother trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage, who meets and falls in love with
Rooney Mara's 'Therese Belivet', a twenty-something
Manhattan department store clerk dreaming of a better life. As they say, the course of true love never did run smooth and 1950s
America was a much more complicated and dangerous place for lesbians lovers.
Costumes worn by Rooney Mara as Therese Belivet in Carol
If you're a fan of
Cate Blanchett, be sure to also check out her
Marion Loxley costume from Robin Hood, her
gown from Elizabeth: The Golden Age and her
Evil Stepmother dress from Cinderella.
Just like
The Danish Girl, it's nice to see more quality, thoughtful
LGBT-themed movies produced by
Hollywood and I'm looking forward to seeing
Carol on the big screen.
