40+ Movie Costume Mistakes That Look Horribly Out Of Place

'Pearl Harbor': No Stockings

The Michael Bay-directed Pearl Harbor is short on historical accuracy in favor of, as critic Roger Ebert famously put it, a love triangle of "stunning banality." This may assist to explain the costume blunder. The women in the film are frequently seen without stockings and baring their legs. This was a major social faux pas back then. Some fans say that this is more historically accurate because nylon was scarce during the war, but we're not prepared to give Bay that much credit.

'Captain America: The First Avenger': Hair Down

Everyone has a favorite Marvel flick or hero. Many argue that the Captain America films are the best in the MCU, but that doesn't keep them from making this list of wardrobe gaffes. Some are blaming The First Avenger's Peggy Carter (played by Hayley Atwell) in this situation. when it was completely permissible for women to have their hair down, women in the armed forces were obliged to wear their hair up at all times when in uniform.
