The film is set in late 19th century high society Russia and Keira Knightley plays the titular aristocrat 'Anna Karenina'. This is the extravagant white gown and fur she wears to the opera in the movie.

Oscar winning and nominated costumes on display at Universal Studios Hollywood...

There's always something interesting to see at the NBC Universal Experience exhibit at Universal Studios Hollywood, but I have to say the archivists have outdone themselves this time with some real treasures on display yesterday, including costumes from three of the five Oscar nominated films for Best Costume Design from the 85th Academy Awards.

There were fabulous Oscar-winning gowns from Anna Karenina worn by Keira Knightley and designed by Jacqueline Durran, the gorgeous Medieval coronation dress worn by Kristen Stewart as the titular heroine in Snow White & The Huntsman and not to forget Anne Hathway's raggedy 'Fantine' dress worn by the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding role in Les Misérables.

I've already had the pleasure of seeing some other original costumes from Joe Wright and Tom Stoppard's 2012 big screen adaptation of Tolstoy's literary classic Anna Karenina, so I was even more delighted to spy two more outfits from the movie on display at ArcLight Sherman Oaks cinema on November 25, 2012.
