Screen-worn Dunkirk film costumes on display...

With the coronavirus raging across America it looks like it will be some time before cinemas and museums reopen, life returns to normal and there are fresh new costume and prop exhibits to share. With that in mind I was looking through my archives the other day and came across these photos of costumes from Christopher Nolan's 2017 war movie Dunkirk on display. The film set during World War II focuses on the Allied troops stranded at the beaches of Dunkirk in Northern France who were being bombarded by German Forces for eight days in 1940 until a ragtag fleet of 800 fishing boats, pleasure crafts, lifeboats and merchant marine boots sailed from England to rescue them.

Original movie costumes from Dunkirk

This quartet of WWII British Army and Air Force costumes worn by Barry Koeghan, Fionn Whitehead, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy in the movie were photographed on display at Downtown L.A.'s FIDM Museum & Galleries on February 6, 2018.

Jeffrey Kurland was Costume Designer on the wartime movie and you can see more of his design work with these Tomorrowland movie costumes and these Inception movie costumes.

For more movie wardrobes on display with these costumes be sure to take a closer look at the 26th annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibition.

Christopher Nolan's new World War II blockbuster tells the epic true story of over 400,000 soldiers from Britain, Belgium, France and Canada who were surrounded and bombarded by German Forces at the harbour and beaches of Dunkirk in 1940 for eight days when over 338,000 were heroically rescued by a ragtag fleet made up of 800 fishing boats, merchant marine boats, pleasure crafts and lifeboats.

Costume worn by Barry Keoghan
as George Mills in Dunkirk

This costume was worn by Barry Keoghan as one of the young men that sailed to Dunkirk, France from England with other citizens to help the rescue the stranded soldiers.

British Army private costume worn by Harry Styles

as Alex in Dunkirk

This costume should please One Direction fans (a sentence I never thought I'd type on this blog), as it's the British Army private uniform worn by Harry Styles as 'Alex' in the movie. At his feet are propaganda pamphlets dropped by the Nazis to demoralise the Allied Forces at Dunkirk.

RAF pilot costume worn by Jack Lowden

as Collins in Dunkirk

Writer and director Christopher Nolan's film shows the perspective of this conflict from land, sea and air and this Royal Air Force pilot costume was worn by Jack Lowden as 'Collins'.

Shivering Soldier costume worn by Cillian Murphy

Meanwhile repeat Nolan collaborator Cillian Murphy plays a shivering soldier pulled from the freezing water with PTSD in this film.

Fans of the actor can also check out his Scarecrow costume from Batman Begins and his Free Fire movie costume.
