As Seen on the Silver Screen

marie-antoinette[1].jpg Across the pond today, Angels The Costumiers are putting up a bevy of costumes from films and television shows at the Bonhams Knightsbridge auction house in London.

The goods include a bullfighter style jacket Johnny Depp wore in The Man Who Cried, and a jumpsuit from the Bond film Moonraker.

How we’d feel about owning something that Johnny Depp once wore aside, we’re now making mental lists of which movie’s costumes we would bid on.

For me, it would definitely be Audrey Hepburn’s dresses and dress suits from Charade, crazy eighties getups from Parker Posey in Party Girl and Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan, and in my ultimate fantasy, Kirsten Dunst’s queenly gowns from Marie Antoinette. Britt’s with me on Marie Antoinette and would also kill for Julianne Moore’s wardrobe from Boogie Nights and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s from Secretary. Abby loves the clothes from either version of The Thomas Crown Affair worn fabulously by Faye Dunaway and Rene Russo, along with some of Gwyneth’s pieces from The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Whose wardrobe is on your wish list?

Umm, _Party Girl_ with Parker Posey came out in 1995. Not 80's at all. For shame, "fashionista!" ;-)

I think some of the items you mention above were for a previous auction... I looked at the items in the one today and could not for the life of me find any clothing from Marie Antoinette (lurrrvve that movie!). When I googled it, a link came up for a Bonhams auction from 2007... I could be wrong though- there were some issues with the Bonhams website.

hey #7, while I wish the Marie Antoinette costumes were for sale somewhere, I think in the post they're talking about hypothetically which characters' closets would you want to bid on, not which actual characters' wardrobes are up for sale.

Good call on Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby. I'd definitely add the character of Chuck from Pushing Daisies if no one minds me delving into TV land : )
