Barbie movie costumes, miniature sets and props on display...

In 2023 director Greta Gerwig brought Mattel's iconic doll 'Barbie' to the big screen and grossed over $1.4 billion at the global box office. Margot Robbie starred as the titular toy icon and Ryan Gosling played her wannabe boyfriend 'Ken'. The film garnered eight Oscar nominations, including the Academy Award for Best Achievement in Costume Design for Jacqueline Durran.

Two of the screen-worn costumes from Barbie were captured on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 13, 2025. The featured costumes included the one worn by Barbie when she leaves Barbieland and drives to the real world, along with Ken's double denim look from the feature film.

If you want to see more of Jacqueline Durran's Oscar-nominated costumes designs from the movie, be sure to also check out these other Barbie movie costumes that were previously on display at the ASU FIDM Museum in Downtown L.A.

Plus you can see more of her design work with these Oscar-winning Anna Karenina movie costumes, these Oscar-nominated 2019 Little Women movie costumes, these Oscar-nominated live-action Beauty and the Beast movie costumes and these 2015 Macbeth movie costumes, to name a few.

Production Designer Sarah Greenwood and Set Decorator Katie Spencer were also nominated for the Oscar for Best Achievement in Production Design for the movie. When I visited the Academy Museum it was also fun to see some of the Barbieland miniature sets and film props showcased in their own exhibit.

The production team created a whimsical artificial colorful world with no water, no electricity, no black and white and no chrome, absolutely true to the Barbie brand.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Flashback Tech Suits and screen-used props on display...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel's first family to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the retro-futuristic world of Earth-828 where they are the only super-powered heroes. Vanessa Kirby stars as 'Sue Storm' aka the 'Invisible Woman', Pedro Pascal is 'Reed Richards' aka 'Mister Fantastic', Joseph Quinn is 'Johnny Storm' aka the 'Human Torch' and Ebon Moss-Bachrach is 'Ben Grimm' aka 'The Thing'. Taking place four years after the plucky scientists and astronauts gained their super-powers on a space flight via cosmic rays, the Fantastic Four face a threat from the stars as a female 'Silver Surfer', 'Shalla-Bal' (Julia Garner), heralds the imminent arrival of the planet-devourer, 'Galactus'.

Flashback Tech Suits from The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Alexandra Byrne is Costume Designer on director Matt Shakman's Fantastic Four MCU debut and these costumes were photographed temporarily on display at Hollywood's iconic El Capitan Theatre on August 1, 2025.

In the movie the team wear these 'Tech Suit' costumes briefly in flashback scenes where the FF face the 'Mole Man' and his giant monster, 'Giganto'. Unfortunately the team's current blue and white costumes were on display at this year's San Diego Comic-Con convention, but I'm glad I still got to see these retro blue and black suits.

Kasra Farahani is the Production Designer responsible for the retro-futuristic aesthetic of the film, inspired by Fantastic Four co-creator Jack Kirby's artistic work and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Personally I love the film, it may seem slower in pace than other comic book fare like Superman also at the box office this summer, but the world-building, costuming, production design, casting, characterization and storyline are top notch.
