Oscar-winning Poor Things movie costumes on display...

At this year's 96th Academy Awards, Emma Stone took home the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of 'Bella Baxter' in director Yorgos Lanthimos' Frankensteinian film, Poor Things. Costume Designer Holly Waddington also won the Oscar for Best Costume Design and the film also scored Best Make-up/Hairstyling and Best Production Design/Scenic Design accolades. In the film adapted from Alasdair Gray's 1992 novel of the same name, a pregnant Victorian young woman named 'Victoria' commits suicide off a bridge and an unorthodox scientist named 'Dr. Godwin Baxter' (Willem Dafoe) resurrects her body with the infant's brain and names her Bella. The child in a woman's body soon desires to leave the confines of the mad scientist's home and runs off with a debauched lawyer named 'Duncan Wedderburn' (Mark Ruffalo) and embarks on a journey of sexual awakening, liberation and self discovery across the globe.
