I love awards season in Hollywood and am especially fond of the Oscars, that's why it's been a real treat to see examples from all five films nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design on display this year. Today I'm shining a spotlight on the movie costumes designed by Jacqueline West for Frontier revenge drama, The Revenant.
Original film costumes from The Revenant
These costumes from
Alejandro González Iñárritu's gritty survival movie were photographed on display at the
Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) Museum in
Downtown L.A. alongside a multitude of many other spectacular costumes on February 12 (where they will be until April 30, 2016).
You can also see more of
Jacqueline West's design work in these
film costumes from The Tree of Life and these
movie costumes from Water for Elephants, both from 2011.

Costume worn by Domhnall Gleeson as Captain Andrew Henry
in The Revenant
The movie, which has been acknowledged as being miserable to make in tough conditions, is based on the true story of
U.S. fur trapper
'Hugh Glass' (played by
Leonardo DiCaprio), who is left for dead by this colleagues after being savagely mauled by a bear during their hunting expedition in 1823.
Domhnall Gleeson plays 'Captain Andrew Henry', the commander of this group of trappers in the wilderness of the
North Plains.

In the film
Fabrice Adde plays
'Toussaint', the leader of a rival
French-Canadian fur-trading expedition.
Costume worn by Leonardo DiCaprio as Hugh Glass
in The Revenant
Leonardo DiCaprio has been
Oscar-nominated (and is the favourite) to win for his portrayal of the injured
Frontiersman who crawled to safety after surviving the brutal
Grizzly attack and being abandoned by his fellow trappers.
Costume worn by Duane Howard as Elk Dog
in The Revenant
First Nations actor
Duane Howard wears this costume as
'Elk Dog', the leader of the indigenous
Native American Arikara, who is seeking his missing daughter.
Costume worn by Tom Hardy as John Fitzgerald
in The Revenant
Tom Hardy plays
'John Fitzgerald' in the early-
American Western, the brutal fellow trapper who buries
Hugh Glass alive and kills his son, and wears this fur-layered costume in the extreme wilderness conditions.
If you're a fan of the actor, be sure to also check out these
Oscar-nominated Mad Max: Fury Road costumes and his
Bane costume from The Dark Knight Rises on display.
With
Cinderella, The Danish Girl, Carol, Mad Max: Fury Road and these costumes all nominated for an
Academy Award this year it's such a talented field that anyone could take home the prestigious golden statue.
