The Little Mermaid live-action movie costumes on display...

In 2023's live-action reimagining of Disney's classic 1989 animated version of The Little Mermaid, Halle Bailey plays 'Ariel' in the musical romantic fantasy. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's Danish fairytale of the same name, the curious and headstrong mermaid princess Ariel who is fascinated with the human world saves 'Prince Eric' (Jonah Hauer-King) from a shipwreck and makes a deal with the sea witch 'Ursula' (played by Melissa McCarthy) to walk on land and follow her heart and dreams. In the film Jessica Alexander plays a human alter-ego of Ursula named 'Vanessa', as part of her scheming to steal the undersea Atlantica throne from Ariel's father 'King Triton' (Javier Bardem).

Saltburn movie costumes worn by Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi and Alison Oliver on display...

In Saltburn, Barry Keoghan stars as 'Oliver Quick', a seemingly shy and awkward Oxford University student who finds himself drawn into the world of his charming and aristocratic classmate, 'Felix Catton' (Jacob Elordi). When Felix invites Oliver to stay at his eccentric wealthy family at their estate for the summer, a series of horrifying and unsettling events befall them, making you wonder if Oliver is as innocent as he seems.

I love Oliver's Midsummer Night's Dream Party suit that he wears for his birthday with its leafy and hidden moth embroidery, gold acorn buttons and moth necklace (maybe symbolizing being drawn like a moth to a flame in Felix's orbit). Shame that the reindeer antlers are not included with the costume display.

Felix's party costume is designed to be simple (in fact they are simple store-bought wings and spray-painted gold), because he has discovered Oliver has lied to him and doesn't want to make an effort for his birthday.

I love this show-stopper of a spider's web party dress worn by Alison Oliver as Felix's sister, 'Venetia Catton', with its chain and tiny crystal design, symbolizing the web of lies surrounding Oliver and her family.

In the film Lily Gladstone plays 'Mollie Kyle' who marries Leonardi DiCaprio's World War I veteran 'Ernest Burkhart' in this traditional style Osage wedding coat and hat.

Things do not end happily for the couple though, as years later when Mollie travels to Washington, D.C. with an Osage delegation to lobby the President for help in connection with her tribe's murders, a local crime boss who is her husband's uncle orders him to poison his wife to slow her down, which he does using her insulin for her diabetes.

Found near death by agents of the Bureau of Investigation, she recovers and ultimately leaves her husband after he turns states evidence and testifies against his uncle, but he refuses to admit he poisoned her.
