40+ Movie Costume Mistakes That Look Horribly Out Of Place

Making a film is a vast, multidimensional process, and costuming is only a small part of that. Still, that aspect requires a lot of effort from a variety of people and agencies. First, costumers must investigate the time period of the film and determine what is historically accurate. They design a costume, and the director can approve or disapprove it, as well as add whatever subtlety they choose. The performers must next dress appropriately, and the hair and cosmetics staff must style the actors correctly. Then there's a crew that has to make sure the performers look the same in every frame, and editors who have to spot anything that the post-production team missed. Overall, there are numerous ways for movie costume blunders to occur, and they occur more frequently than you might expect!
