Drax, Star-Lord and Mantis movie costumes from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on display...

In Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, Chris Pratt's 'Star-Lord' must rally his band of cosmic misfits to help save one of their own, when 'Rocket Raccoon' is gravely injured. To save their furry hybrid teammate they must venture to the Orgoscope, the headquarters of OrgoCorp, created by the cyborg scientist called the 'High Evolutionary', who experimented on Rocket and other animals when he was a baby. The Guardians don different coloured spacesuits (like the red version worn by Dave Bautista as 'Drax' and the orange version worn by Pom Klementieff as 'Mantis') to infiltrate the Orgoscope and then suit up in matching team uniforms (like this one worn by Chris Pratt as team leader 'Peter Jason Quill' aka Star-Lord) to take on the mad scientist and his genetically-enhanced minions to help save the universe.

This trio of costumes from the final installment in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy were photographed temporarily on display at Downtown L.A.'s ASU FIDM Museum on March 5, 2024.

Judianna Makovsky is Costume Designer on the Marvel Studios movie directed by James Gunn, with Michelle Moon and Eilish Zebrasky as Assistant Costume Designers and John M. "Jack" Wright as Costume Supervisor.

I loved the colourful spacesuits in the movie which pay homage to the iconic designs in 2001: A Space Odyssey and I also like how the Guardians finally wore their team uniforms from the comic books in action.

Fans of the movie trilogy can also check out these other screen-worn Guardians of the Galaxy costumes previously on display.
