Original film costumes and production model from The Great Gatsby
This trio of period costumes from the movie remake were photographed at ArcLight Hollywood cinema on May 10, 2013, on display beside a production model of Jay Gatsby's castle.
The Great Gatsby party costumes
Catherine Martin, the wife of Baz Luhrmann, is the Costume Designer responsible for the looks of the party goers who attend Gatsby's lavish parties. Included in the display I believe is the party outfit worn by 'Ewing Klipspringer' (Brendan Maclean), a freeloader at the mansion who plays the piano and is said to be a 'dubious descendant of Beethoven'.
Green flapper dress detail from The Great Gatsby
The detail on this green flapper dress is amazing and there are literally hundreds of similar costumes in the frenetic party scenes in the movie.
In addition to the wonderful costumes it's also interesting to get a glimpse of the foam core model of Gatsby's opulent Long Island mansion built by the film's art department.
The Great Gatsby castle production model
In the movie there's a scene at one of Gatsby's infamous parties where a girl is singing a sad song in a red dress on a piano. This may not be that dress, but that's the only red dress of note from the movie that I can remember.

If you like these extravagant costumes you'll probably like these fun costumes worn by Christina Aguilera in Burlesque, plus another look at 1920's fashion in this costume worn by Angelina Jolie in Changeling.
