Amphibian Man movie costume from The Shape of Water on display...

In 2017's dark romantic period fantasy, The Shape of Water, Sally Hawkins plays a mute janitor at a high-security laboratory in Baltimore, Maryland in 1962, who falls in love with a captive humanoid Amphibian Man (played by Doug Jones). The cleaner bonds with the creature after visiting him secretly and decides to help him escape before the military can vivisect him to examine his respiratory system.

This screen-used costume was captured on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Picture on October 13, 2025.

Shane Mahan, Mike Hill and Kazu Hiro were responsible for creature concept and makeup of the Amphibian Man and the look is heavily inspired by the classic monster film Creature from the Black Lagoon. The suit is fabricated by Legacy Effects from silicone, cast urethane resin, fiberglass, paint and acrylic.

Fans of Guillermo del Toro's movie can also enjoy these other screen-worn costumes from The Shape of Water designed by Costume Designer Luis Sequeira.

Oscar-nominated Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street movie costumes on display...

In 2007 Tim Burton adapted Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's stage musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, for the big screen. Johnny Depp played the titular 'Sweeney Todd', a barber falsely convicted and exiled to Australia by the corrupt 'Judge Turpin' (Alan Rickman), who coveted his wife 'Lucy', returns to London to exact his revenge. Reinstated in his old Fleet Street barber shop he is helped by the failing pie shop owner below him, 'Mrs. Nellie Lovett' (Helena Bonham Carter), who has an unrequited love for the barber. Sweeney Todd murders his customers and she processes the corpses into meat pies, causing her business to prosper. Their bloody good fortune ultimately ends in a grisly fate for the killer duo.

This trio of costumes designed by Colleen Atwood for this Gothic musical slasher movie were photographed on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 13, 2025.

Sweeney Todd's coat is made from a modern laser-but leather and then aged, with a sheen to give an insect-like quality to convey how he'd been hardened by his past experiences.

Meanwhile for Mrs. Lovett's final dress the designer found a piece of original period fabric to reflect the character's rich taste and how her costumes evolved with her wealth as her pie business flourishes.

Despite his wealth, Judge Turpin's unkempt look was designed to covey his loose morals and decadent character, and his vest features embroidered monkeys to help convey his transgressive appetites for pleasure. 

These costume designs earned the regular Tim Burton and Johnny Depp collaborator an Academy Award nomination for the film, and you can see more of her work with these Alice in Wonderland movie costumes, these Alice Through the Looking Glass film costumes, these Dumbo movie costumes and these Into the Woods movie costumes to name a few.

This trio of costumes below also featured in the movie and even though the exhibit doesn't have any signage, through online sleuthing and now having seen the movie, I believe I now know who they were worn by.

I believe the outfit on the left is the Newport Folk Festival costume worn by Will Harrison as musician and stage manager Bob Nuewirth, the middle costume may be worn by Dan Fogler as folk music manager Albert Grossman and the green and white polka dot shirt costume on the right is worn by both Timothée Cahalamet as Bob Dylan and by Charlie Tahan as the band's piano player Al Kooper.
