Tilda Swinton's Madame Blanc movie costume from Suspiria on display...

To celebrate Tilda Swinton's birthday I thought I'd share her screen-worn costume from 2018's supernatural horror, Suspiria. Luca Guadagnino's film is inspired by the 1977 Italian film of the same name and sees an American dancer (Dakota Johnson) enroll in a prestigious dance academy in Berlin run by a coven of witches. Tilda Swinton's 'Madame Blanc' is the lead choreographer and a high-ranking leader of the supernatural clandestine coven.

This free-flowing movie costume was photographed on display at The Horror Show exhibition at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on October 4, 2026.

Giulia Piersanti is Costume Designer on Director Luca Guadagnino's psychological horror film.

Madame Blanc's glamorous look resembles religious vestments and identifies her as one of the leading figures in the coven's ancient hierarchy.

Tilda Swinton fans can also enjoy her White Witch costume from Narnia's The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, her Ancient One costume from Doctor Strange, her film costume from The French Dispatch and her Okja movie costume on display.
