Screen-worn Stars and Stripes costumes to celebrate America's 250th Anniversary...

Happy Fourth of July. To pay homage to America's 250th Anniversary I thought I'd search through my costume archives to find some looks inspired by the Stars and Stripes flag. Here are six star-spangled outfits from the big and small screen through the ages.

Sam Wilson Captain America: Brave New World movie costume

First up is the patriotic flight suit worn by Anthony Mackie as 'Sam Wilson' in 2025's Captain America: Brave New World movie and 2021's Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and was photographed at Hollywood's infamous El Capitan Theatre in February 2025.

The high-flying Avenger inherited the shield and uniform when his friend 'Steve Rogers' returned to the past and will next be seen leading a new super team in Avengers: Doomsday.

Steve Rogers Avengers: Endgame movie costumes

Next up are the various star-spangled Captain America uniforms worn by Chris Evans as the time-displaced Steve Rogers in Marvel Studios Avengers movie franchise.

This trio of heroic costumes were captured temporarily on display at the FIDM Museum in Downtown L.A. in February 2020.

John Walker U.S. Agent Thunderbolts movie costume

The third look is the 'U.S. Agent' costume worn by Wyatt Russell as 'John Walker', the disgraced new Captain America from the MCU's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series.

The actor sported this darker Stars and Stripes uniform in the Thunderbolts movie and it was photographed at the El Capitan Theatre in May 2025.

America Chavez movie costume

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Next is the outfit worn by Xochitl Gomez as the multiverse-hopping 'America Chavez' in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and it was photographed at the El Capitan Theatre in May during the film's theatrical release.

This MCU heroine lives up to her name by sporting this customized patriotic denim jacket, and even the portals she can create to travel to alternate realities are star-shaped.

Lynda Carter's 1970s TV Wonder Woman costume

The next patriotic look is the iconic 'Wonder Woman' costume worn by Lynda Carter in the DC Comics television series that ran from 1975 to 1979.

This classic superheroine costume was captured on display at the Warner Bros. Studios Backlot Tour Museum in June 2016.

Liberty Belle costume from TV's GLOW

And finally, the last red, white and blue costume is worn by Betty Gilpin as her alter-ego, 'Liberty Belle', in Netflix's 1980s-set wrestling dramedy, GLOW (Gorgeous Women of Wrestling).

This screen-worn costume and more were photographed temporarily on display at the FIDM Museum in August 2018.

Now let the hotdogs grill and the fireworks fly!

In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Benedict Cumberbatch's 'Stephen Strange' must protect a powerful young woman named 'America Chavez', who has the ability to traverse dimensions, from Elizabeth Olsen's crazed 'Wanda Maximoff' aka the 'Scarlet Witch', who wants the girl to help reunite her with the sons she conjured and lost in the WandaVision television series. The Darkhold, a deadly book of spells of the elder god 'Chthon', has twisted the former Avenger's mind and motivations and Doctor Strange must use all his arcane knowledge to heal or stop her.

Chiwetel Ejiofor's Baron Mordo costume from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on display...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness cast a spell on the box office for a second weekend and conjured up global ticket sales of $688.8 million to date. Chiwetel Ejiofor returns in the Doctor Strange sequel, but not as the 'Baron Karl Mordo' of Earth-616, but as the Sorceror Supreme of Earth-838 and member of that world's Illuminati super-team. Once again Mordo proves that 'Stephen Strange' can't trust him in any universe.

Graham Churchyard is Costume Designer on the movie and this Baron Mordo was photographed on display at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre on May 9, 2022.

Fans of the actor and character can also enjoy this Mordo costume from Doctor Strange on display.

Isn't it interesting that Mordo shares a similar costume colour scheme - greens, golds and browns, to that of the trickster god 'Loki'.

In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, 'Stephen Strange' attends the wedding or his old love and surgical colleague 'Christine Palmer' (played by Rachel McAdams). When he ventures into the multiverse the Master of the Mystic Arts meets her Earth-838 counterpart. She was in a relationship with the Illuminati's Stephen Strange and was offered a job at the Baxter Foundation after his death and has assigned numbers to the various Earth's throughout the multiverse.

Wong costume worn by Benedict Wong in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on display...

Following his cameo appearance fighting the 'Abomination' in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, it's good to see 'Wong' back in action in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness fighting tentacled demons and corrupted witches. Following the events of 'The Snap', where the mad Titan 'Thanos' used the Infinity Gauntlet to kill half of humanity (and the universe) for five years, including 'Doctor Strange', Wong became the Sorcerer Supreme of the MCU and the protector of the training grounds of the Masters of the Mystic Arts at Kamar-Taj in Kathmandu, Nepal.
