On July 21, 2014 I was fortunate enough to attend the
Guardians of the Galaxy World Premiere and walk the red carpet with the stars at the
Kodak Theatre in
Hollywood, and the funny thing is, I was equally excited to see these original costumes from the cosmic
Marvel movie on display at
ArcLight Sherman Oaks cinema on August 1, 2014.
Original costume worn by Zoe Saldana as Gamora
in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Featured in the costume exhibit were the signature movie looks of
Chris Pratt's 'Star-Lord' and
Zoe Saldana's 'most dangerous woman in the universe', the green-skinned assassin,
'Gamora', which also feature in the promotional posters for the superhero sci-fi film.
Based on the
Marvel Comics character created by
Jim Starlin, in the movie
Gamora is the adopted warrior woman daughter of
'Thanos', who initially works with the
Kree fanatic
'Ronan the Accuser', but soon becomes involved in the hunt for a powerful orb and joins the ragtag band of thieves, bounty hunters and maniacs to help save the galaxy.

Alexandra Byrne was
Costume Designer on this space-based movie and she's also created the looks for previous
Marvel Comics movies
The Avengers and
Thor, plus films like
Finding Neverland and
300: Rise of an Empire and mostly notably her
Oscar-winning costume work in Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
I know that fellow
Guardians of the Galaxy fans, costume enthusiasts and cosplayers will appreciate this abundance of images and the costume details of one of
Gamora's figure-hugging alien outfits from the movie.

Personally I love the blue animal/reptile print incorporated into the mostly black ensemble and I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see many
Gamora, and other
Guardians of the Galaxy costumes, at this year's
Halloween.
If you like this authentic outfit, be sure to stay tuned for a closer look at
Chris Pratt's 'Peter Quill' aka
'Star-Lord' costume in the days to come.
I also highly recommend you buy the movie's fantastic nostalgic 70's and 80's inspired soundtrack (which I'm listening to as I type this):
