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.

Another of
Hulu's series in the spotlight on their
D23 stand was the adaptation of
Margaret Atwood's dystopian 1985 feminist novel,
The Handmaid's Tale.
Offred costume worn by Elisabeth Moss
in The Handmaid's Tale
In the twisted totalitarian and theological society of
Gilead (formerly known as the
United States of America), fertile women scarce and are passed from family to family, raped, mutilated and used as baby incubators for the ruling male class and their wives.
Elisabeth Moss plays the woman who was formerly
'June Osborne', but is now called
'Offred' (named for her
Commander 'Fred Waterford' -
of Fred) now wears the red cloak (which symbolize menstrual blood and fertility) and white bonnets (wings - designed to act like horse blinders, to shield them from view) of a
'Handmaid', forced into sexual servitude at the hands of the
Commanders.
Ane Crabtree is
Costume Designer on the series and you can also check these
Emmy-nominated
costumes from The Handmaid's Tale on display.

Another
Hulu adaptation on display was

Jospeh Heller of the same name. The limited series follows

'Captain John Yossarian' (Christopher Abbott) in the
Mediterranean theatre of
World War II.
He's furious at the thousand of people trying to kill him and that his own army is increasing the combat mission he must fly, but trapped by the bureaucratic rule
Catch-22, which considers a willingness to fly dangerous missions to be insane, yet a request to be relived oddity on grounds of insanity can only be made by a rational mind.
