Because, think of it… It’s based on Winterhalter’s legendary portrait of Empress Elisabeth “Sissi”. I would have adored it if they featured it in Masquerade.

Hence why movie Christine wears a totally different costume than Carlotta. The 2004 movie went for the former, the stage version for the latter. One can discuss back and forth whenther the “gala performance” was meant as a highlight of different performances, or a full opera. It’s nicely accentuated by the stars in Christine’s hair, and the pale blue tabs in the back.īut for this exact setting and scene, it feels a bit out of place. The “Elissa” (Think of Me) one… The dress in itself is pretty, with its 1860s silhouette and gold star embroidered tulle over white silk. Two possible inspirations for the costume was previously posted here. I just wish all these lovely translated better to the screen, or were made in more contrasting colours to stand out a bit. So much nude, and a beige skirt, and beige “bra”? It just doesn’t stand out.īut up close there are really awesome details, with animal print/fur, turquoise stones, tassels, gold. They are effective and with an Egyptian wibe, but a bit pale. With one exception: I loved the raised crown and gold bands in Hannibal:Ĭostume wise, I wasn’t floored by the Hannibal Slavegirl ones the first time I saw the movie. For the most it felt like a mass of curls just pulled backwards. But either how, I’l talk about her wig rather than wigs. But then I wondered if I might see the 2004 costumes with new eyes? I don’t know, I write as I go…
