Amanda Seyfried's Cosette gown from Les Misérables on display...

Sunday, January 26, 2014

I know for a fact that fans of Tom Hopper's 2012 big screen adaptation of Les Misérables, and costumers alike, will love this gown worn by Amanda Seyfried as 'Cosette' in the movie musical.

This period dress from the movie set in the 19th century revolutionary France is just one of the Oscar-nominated designs by Paco Delgado and was photographed beside other fabulous original movie costumes on display at Universal Studios Hollywood's NBC Universal Experience attraction on January 23, 2014.

In the movie Amanda Seyfried plays the grown up daughter of 'Fantine' and her adopted father is 'Valjean', and she wears this gown in the latter stages of the film.

You can also see another of Cosette's costumes from Les Misérables from a previous visit to the theme park's costume archive exhibit, plus more original costumes from the film worn by Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props.

Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway's Les Misérables movie costumes on display...

Saturday, August 3, 2013

On previous visits to Universal Studios Hollywood I've spied Oscar-nominated costumes from Les Misérables worn by Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne and Anne Hathaway, this time it was the turn of The Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, plus another 'Fantine' outfit from the big-screen musical smash on display.

Tom Hooper's epic 2012 adaptation of Les Misérables starts with a spectacular scene of prisoners in 1815 France hauling a ship into dock amidst crashing waves. One of those convicts is 'Jean Valjean', played by Hugh Jackman (who is no stranger to treading the boards of a stage musical), whose crime was stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family.

The actor wears this raggedy prison outfit, he is prisoner 24601, when he is released from captivity by prison guard 'Javert' after serving his nineteen year sentence.

These costumes earned Paco Delgado an Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design, but he missed out to Jacqueline Durran for her Anna Karenina costume designs.

When released from his imprisonment, Jean Valjean reinvents himself as a factory owner and town mayor and gets to wear much fancier clothes.

When Anne Hathaway's 'Fantine' is discovered to have an illegitimate daughter she is fired from Valjean's factory by the foreman and forced to sell her hair and teeth, and eventually become a prostitute to support her child.

This is the costume she wears when she fights with an abusive customer and is arrested by Javert (now a police inspector). Saved by Valjean, she is hospitalised, and he vows to a dying Fantine to take responsibility for her daughter 'Cosette' upon her death

If you like these spectacular costumes photographed at the NBC Universal Experience exhibit on July 30, 2013, be sure to also check out Fantine's I Dreamed a Dream film costume, plus these original Cosette and Marius costumes from Les Misérables too.

Amongst the wonderful collection of movie memorabilia at Universal Studios Hollywood on my recent visit on May 7, 2013 were three original costumes from Tom Hopper's 2012 big screen version of Les Misérables, including the outfit worn by Anne Hathaway as 'Fantine' when she sings 'I Dreamed a Dream'.

Paco Delgado was nominated for an Oscar for his Costume Design on this cinematic adaptation of the famous musical which is set in 19th century France.

Fantine wears this dirty costume when she has lost her factory job, been forced to sell her own hair and turn to prostitution to earn the necessary money to care for her daughter Cosette.

There's always something interesting to see at the NBC Universal Experience exhibit at Universal Studios Hollywood, but I have to say the archivists have outdone themselves this time with some real treasures on display yesterday, including costumes from three of the five Oscar nominated films for Best Costume Design from the 85th Academy Awards.
