Hollywood Costume Exhibition

If you love and appreciate movies and will be in the Los Angeles area before March 2, 2015 then I encourage you to make your way to the Hollywood Costume Exhibition. My mom and I went to check it out and we enjoyed it even more than we thought we would. You are able to purchase tickets for the exhibition online at http://www.oscars.org/hollywoodcostume/ or you can purchase the tickets at the door. The tickets are timed entries so I would encourage you to buy them in person to make sure to get the most out of your time. At the entrance you will find a red carpet and a gigantic Oscar statue to take pictures with. How fun is that?!

Once you go inside and get your tickets you can head into a room with several Oscars won by costume designers. This is the only room in the exhibition in which you are able to take pictures. The costumes are really wonderful & have been preserved very nicely. The majority of the costumes have a screen above the neckline with the face of the actor who wore the costume which was a classy touch. I also really enjoyed the use of storytelling throughout the exhibition. I stopped to read every word because it the words helped provide a perspective on all of the work that goes into dressing characters. As you walk around you will find wonderful descriptions of how the costumes helped bring the characters to life.

The costumes range from pieces worn by Charlie Chaplin to an outfit that Jennifer Lawrence wore in the Hunger Games. The Academy has done a brilliant job putting this exhibition together. I would rate this exhibition a 10/10 and a must do for someone who appreciates movies. I absolutely loved seeing outfits from my favorite movies like Titanic. Another nice thing about the exhibition is that it is next to LACMA so if you go early enough you could easily do both.
