Not only are
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy saving the
Nova Corps homeworld of
Xandar at the moment, but it looks like they are single-handedly saving the Summer box office in the process, with an explosive opening weekend of $94 million in the
U.S. and $160 million worldwide. To celebrate, here's a closer look at the signature movie costume worn by
'Peter Quill' aka
'Star-Lord' on display at
ArcLight Sherman Oaks cinema on August 1, 2014.
Original Star-Lord costume worn by Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy
Not only did
Chris Pratt look physically amazing in the cosmic
Marvel film, but he also looked the part of a roguish space-thief courtesy of
Oscar-winning
Costume Designer Alexandra Byrne. She's no stranger to superheroes as she was also responsible for costumes on
Thor, The Avengers and the forthcoming
Avengers: Age of Ultron movie.

period gown worn by Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, for which she won her
Academy Award for
Best Costume Design and also one of
Zoe Saldana's Gamora movie costume from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Originally created by
Steve Englehart and
Steve Gan and first appearing in
Marvel Preview #4 in 1976, this iteration of
Star-Lord and his ragtag
Guardians of the Galaxy team owe more to the 2008 space-based team comic by
Dan Abnett and
Andy Lanning, which saw the half-human/half-alien
Peter Jason Quill team-up with '
Rocket Raccoon', 'Gamora', 'Drax The Destroyer', 'Groot' and other cosmic superheroes.

I love that his mask in the movie pays homage to his comic book appearance during that time, and I also predict that more than a few people would love to own
Star-Lord's runway-ready short red leather jacket. Aside from being a real comedian, he certainly has that
'Han Solo' swagger in the movie too, helped obviously by his cool attire.
