When costume designer Paco Delgado was creating Gal Gadot’s look as the heiress Linnet Ridgeway Doyle in Kenneth Branagh’s “Death on the Nile,” he played with the concept of wealth touched by vulnerability.
Branagh assembled an all-star cast, including Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Sophie Okonedo and Letitia Wright, for his retelling of the Agatha Christie murder mystery among a group of friends joining Linnet and Simon Doyle (Hammer) on their honeymoon in 1930s Egypt.
At the center of the film is Linnet, a woman who on the surface has everything. She’s powerful, but Delgado says she’s insecure. “She’s surrounded by people who constantly criticize her, and she feels everyone wants to take her money.
I wanted to show fragility through her costume,” he says. He incorporated soft, pale colors and flowing silks into Linnet’s wardrobe. Early in the film, just before a murder occurs,...

Turning Kristen Stewart into Princess Diana isn’t cheap. During a recent interview with InStyle magazine, “Spencer” hair and makeup designer Wakana Yoshihara confirmed the two Diana wigs created for the film cost approximately $6,000 each and took six weeks to create. Yoshihara previously worked on projects such as Kenneth Branagh’s “Cinderella,” Pedro Almdóvar’s “The Human Voice,” and Ben Wheatley’s “High-Rise.” The artist is a frequent collaborator of Branagh’s and also worked on “Belfast,” giving Yoshihara two Oscar contenders this year. IndieWire ranks Yoshihara’s work on “Spencer” as a frontrunner to land an Oscar nomination next year for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
“This process took about six weeks, and I probably colored the wig three times before I met Kristen,” Yoshihara said. “When we did the first fitting I knew the color wasn’t right, so I colored it again. In the beginning, [Kristen] didn’t want to wear a wig,...

The colors are lavish and the gowns are magnificent, but there’s a sense of anguish and mystery in the first trailer for “Spencer,” the much-anticipated biopic about Princess Diana starring Kristen Stewart.
This first look shows Stewart struggling and drifting through these vast palace corridors, but there’s secrets she’s not showing, responding when one of her aides say, “They know everything” by calmly confiding, “They don’t.”
“Spencer” focuses on the one weekend when Princess Diana decided to leave her marriage to Prince Charles during Christmas 1991. Spencer was her maiden name before she wed the British royal. Here’s the full synopsis for the film:
December, 1991: The Prince and Princess of Wales’ marriage has long since grown cold. Though rumours of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game.

In a nervy, brash, one-of-a-kind comedic performance, Jude Law introduces the world to Dom Hemingway – steely London safecracker, hell-bent hedonist, profane pontificator and legendary live wire – as he hits the streets after 12 years in jail for keeping his mouth shut and protecting his boss.
Now, Dom’s ready to unleash everything and collect what he’s owed. But when his long-awaited payday doesn’t go as planned, Dom tries to reconnect with his long lost daughter – only to be tempted again by the three things Dom Hemingway knows how to do best: cracking safes, busting heads, and breaking hearts.
Law – a two-time Oscar nominee for Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley – underwent a total transformation into the manic yet paradoxically poignant role. With a dart-player’s paunch, broken nose, lamb-chop sideburns, bad teeth and a nasty scar running beneath a blood-red eye, it is hard to believe that beneath...
