In the 2019 biographical film about abolitionist
Harriet Tubman, Oscar nominee
Cynthia Erivo plays
'Araminta "Minty" Ross', a slave in 1840s
Maryland newly married to freedman
'John Tubman'. She decides to escape her captivity at the
Brodess farm and runs to freedom with the help of the
Underground Railroad to
Philadelphia, where she chooses the free name
'Harriet', after her mother. She decides to return to free her family in the
South and then heroically helps hundreds of fellow slaves find freedom as a
'conductor' on the
Underground Railroad.
Costumes worn by Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman
This quartet of screen-worn costumes were photographed on display at
Downtown L.A.'s FIDM Museum & Galleries on February 4, 2020.
It's so cool to see them exhibited out from behind reflective display cases, but I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just wish the mannequins reflected the skin colour of the actress wearing the outfits, like with this
Harriet movie costume on display at
ArcLight Hollywood cinema.
Paul Tazewell was
Costume Designer on the historical biopic directed by
Kasi Lemmons and you can see more of his work with these
costumes from Jesus Christ Superstar in Concert.
