In writer and director Jordan Peele's 2019 horror film, Us, we're introduced to Lupita Nyong'o's 'Adelaide Wilson' and her family (played by Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex) who are going on vacation to their lake house in Santa Cruz. At night a family of four doppelgängers appear in their driveway holding hands, dressed in red jumpsuits and wielding scissors, who proceed to terrorise the Wilsons and reveal that they are 'Tethered' to them, sharing a soul, so they have to kill them to set themselves free.
Screen-worn costumes from Us
Kym Barrett was Costume Designer on the film and this exhibit was photographed on display at ArcLight Hollywood cinema on December 14, 2019.
The Tethered uniform consists of a dissembled, altered and cropped cotton jumpsuit, RIT red overdye, crimson ombré dye, flame-proofing with collar closures and swing tacks. The gloves are a pumpkin-coloured leather driving glove speciality-dyed dark brown, whilst the ready-made sandals are altered by paint, distress and mineral oil.
You can see more of the Costume Designer's work with these Aquaman film costumes, whilst fans of Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke can also check out their movie costumes from Black Panther on display.
