Barbra Streisand's Fanny Brice movie costume from Funny Lady on display...

1968's Funny Girl movie is loosely based on the life and career of comedienne and singer Fanny Brice set in the early 1900s and Barbra Streisand won her first Oscar for Best Actress for this, her debut feature film, reprising her role from the Broadway hit musical. In 1975's musical comedy-drama, Barbra Streisand returned to the role for the romantic sequel, Funny Lady. Hitting difficult times during the 1930s, with her marriage to 'Nicky Arnstein' (Omar Sharif) ending in divorce, Fanny continues to pursue fame with the help of brash nightclub owner, song lyricist and showman, 'Billy Rose' (James Chan). And even though they slowly start to feel something for each other, during their stormy relationship, Fanny knows that her feelings for her ex haven't completely gone away.

Saltburn movie costumes worn by Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi and Alison Oliver on display...

In Saltburn, Barry Keoghan stars as 'Oliver Quick', a seemingly shy and awkward Oxford University student who finds himself drawn into the world of his charming and aristocratic classmate, 'Felix Catton' (Jacob Elordi). When Felix invites Oliver to stay at his eccentric wealthy family at their estate for the summer, a series of horrifying and unsettling events befall them, making you wonder if Oliver is as innocent as he seems.

I love Oliver's Midsummer Night's Dream Party suit that he wears for his birthday with its leafy and hidden moth embroidery, gold acorn buttons and moth necklace (maybe symbolizing being drawn like a moth to a flame in Felix's orbit). Shame that the reindeer antlers are not included with the costume display.

Felix's party costume is designed to be simple (in fact they are simple store-bought wings and spray-painted gold), because he has discovered Oliver has lied to him and doesn't want to make an effort for his birthday.

I love this show-stopper of a spider's web party dress worn by Alison Oliver as Felix's sister, 'Venetia Catton', with its chain and tiny crystal design, symbolizing the web of lies surrounding Oliver and her family.
