In Florence Foster Jenkins Meryl Streep received her twentieth Oscar nomination for playing a New York heiress socialite in the 1940s who dreams of being an opera singer despite having an appalling voice, whilst Hugh Grant plays her encouraging husband and Simon Helberg plays her reluctant pianist. Consolata Boyle also received her second Academy Award nomination for Best Achievement in Costume Design for the period comedy drama.

I think you can see from these fabulous theatrical costume designs, which the aspiring singer performed in on stage and in the recording booth, why they were nominated for an
Oscar this year. As the story is based on true events, the costumes were designed to emulate those actually worn by the real
Florence Foster Jenkins.

Fans of the accomplished actress can also enjoy her movie
costumes from Into the Woods, her
Margaret Thatcher costumes from The Iron Lady (also designed by
Consolata Boyle), her
Julia Child costume from Julie & Julia, her
Mamma Mia: The Movie costume, her
film costumes from It's Complicated and her
Emmeline Pankhurst movie costume from Suffragette. That's quite a career in costume.
Both nominees would be worthy recipients this awards season, so let's see if either of them takes home the golden statuette at the 89th awards ceremony on February 26, 2017.
