Starstruck at the Cathedral

The was a really great exhibition at Worcester Cathedral which ran over the past month and featured a couple of hundred costumes from stage and screen. It was really fascinating....the detail that went into these costumes was incredible. And it was interesting too see the sizes of some of the costumes! Nicole Kidman is indeed very tall, and had an absolutely tiny waist in Portrait of a Lady. Demi Moore's dress from Flawless would basically have fit a pipe cleaner with curves and Tom Cruise's shoes are definitely a little high of heel!!

A few of the costumes on show. At the front is Demi's dress, with Madonna's costume from Evita just behind.

It was a stunning setting!

Costumes from the Royal Shakespeare Company


Natalie Portman's costume from Goya's Ghosts

Anjelica Huston's costume from Ever After

The rather fabulous backdrop
