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.

10 Halloween costume ideas for men from film and TV from recent times...

Today I'm continuing the tradition of sharing a collection of screen-worn costumes from the big and small screen from the past year or so to help provide some Halloween costume inspiration this year. Here are a few male costume ideas from the worlds of comic books, science fiction, true crime, action, romantic period drama and murder mystery to get your creative juices flowing.

Mr. Knight
costume from Moon Knight

First up is one of Moon Knight's alter-ego's 'Mr. Knight' from the 2022 Disney+ television series.

Oscar Isaac wore this cool white suit in the MCU show and it is one of the Moon Knight costumes which earned Meghan Kasperlik an Emmy nomination for Costume Design.

Star-Lord
costume from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Star Lord costume Guardians of Galaxy Vol 3
For something more out-of-this-world you could team-up with some friends and wear the new Guardians of the Galaxy team uniforms, as sported by Chris Pratt as 'Star-Lord' in Volume 3.

Costume Designer Judianna Makovsky is responsible for translating the comic book team uniforms to screen-worn costume on the big screen in 2023's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Namor
costume from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Namor costume Black Panther Wakanda Forever
If you're looking for something to show off your "swimmer's body", then how about Marvel's first mutant, 'Namor', recently introduced in 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Ruth E. Carter garnered another Academy Award for her work on Tenoch Huerta's Mesoamerican-inspired costume and the other designs featured in the MCU sequel.

Kang the Conqueror
costume from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

From one Marvel villain to another, and if the aquatic Namor is not up your alley, then maybe the time-travelling 'Kang the Conqueror' will be. I mean, who doesn't look good in green and purple?

The classic Avengers foe made his MCU debut in 2023's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, with Costume Designer Sammy Sheldon helping to bring his iconic look to life on the cinematic screen.

The Riddler
costume from The Batman

If you're more of a DC Comics aficionado than Marvel fan, how about the new look 'Riddler' from 2022's The Batman movie.

The serial killer look worn by Paul Dano in the movie was designed by Jacqueline Durran and I think is quite an easy one to replicate.

Joe Exotic
costume from Joe vs. Carol

From fictitious killer to a real life murder-for-hire convicted felon, the 'Tiger King' himself, flamboyant zoo operator 'Joe Exotic'.

John Cameron Mitchell sported this eccentric look in the 2022 Peacock series Joe vs. Carole and Amelia Gebler was Costume Designer on the true crime drama.

Captain Pete Mitchell
costume from Top Gun: Maverick

For a costume to take their breath away this Halloween, head into the danger zone by replicating Tom Cruise's look from the 2022 movie sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.

Marlene Stewart is the Costume Designer tasked with bringing the high-flying, motorbike-riding 'Captain Pete " Maverick" Mitchell' back to the big screen.

Lord Anthony Bridgerton
costume from Bridgerton

If you fancy stepping back in time this Halloween and feeling like a gentleman, then maybe you can take your inspiration from Netflix's scandalous romantic period drama, Bridgerton.

Jonathan Bailey's 'Viscount Anthony Bridgeton' dapper look from 2022's sophomore season of the show was designed by the Emmy-nominated Sophie Canale.

Benoit Blanc
costume from Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

For those who like a little mystery in their life, what about role-playing as Daniel Craig's 'Detective Benoit Blanc' this year.

This look was designed by Jenny Eagen for vacationing on a private island of a billionaire in 2022's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

Elvis Presley
costume from Elvis

And for fans of the "King of Rock and Roll" himself, how about drawing some inspiration from 2022's Elvis biopic, starring Austin Butler as the iconic Elvis Presley.

Catherine Martin's costume designs for the legendary cultural figure earned her an Academy Award nomination.

With Halloween two months away still, maybe you're thinking it's too early to be contemplating who to go as this year, but have you been to a retail store lately - the shelves are already filled with Halloween candy, costumes and decorations.

Hopefully these ten TV and movie costumes have helped, if not maybe check out these men's Halloween costume ideas from years past instead.

Margot Robbie and Christian Bale movie costumes from Amsterdam on display...

Set in 1930s the movie Amsterdam follows three friends - a doctor, a nurse and a lawyer - who reunite and witness a murder, become suspects themselves, and uncover an anti-democratic conspiracy against America. Christian Bale plays 'Burt Berendsen', a doctor and war veteran, Margot Robbie plays an eccentric nurse named 'Valerie Voze' and John David Washington plays war veteran and lawyer 'Harold Woodman'. The title of the movie refers to when the Dutch capital became a refuge and playground for two wounded American servicemen and the nurse overseeing their recovery at the end of World War I, who vow to protect each other no matter what.
