Little Fires Everywhere, The Handmaid's Tale, Catch-22 and more Hulu TV costumes and props on display at D23 Expo 2019....

Last year I attended Disney's D23 Expo on August 23, 2019, and whilst there took lots of pictures of al the costumes and props on display, including these screen-used garments and props from Hulu's television shows and mini-series. With the limited series adaptation of Celeste Ng's 2017 novel, Little Fires Everywhere, making its debut on the streaming platform this week, I thought it would be timely to share all these photos from the exhibit.

Pearl Warren's bicycle from Little Fires Everywhere

In the eight episode series, Reese Witherspoon stars as 'Elena Richardson', whose seemingly picture-perfect family life gets upended with the arrival of Kerry Washington's artist 'Mia Warren' and her daughter 'Pearl' (played by Lexi Underwood). The story explores secrets, motherhood, art and identity and the dangers in believing that following the rules can avert disaster. I believe this decorated bicycle was used by Pearl in the series.
