The Other Boleyn Girl
To go with our podcast of The Other Boleyn Girl, here are some of the costumes we reference…
Major shout-out to the fabulous Costumer’s Guide to Movie Costumes for being such a great resource for movie costume images! Here’s the main page for Other Boleyn Girl images.
- The Circle dresses — Anne’s and Mary’s
- The headdresses — early (see the Circle dress images), court (Anne’s green dress), Marian (see Mary’s orange dress), Gable (see Anne’s trial gown and Catherine of Aragon and her ladies)
- Sari fabrics — the badly applied trim was on Anne’s peacock dress
- Henry’s copper and blue brocade fabric
- Henry’s chenille robe (maybe?)
- Morning after marriage — crazy printed couch robes
- Billaments on court gowns — see, for example, Anne’s green gown and Mary’s orange/red gown
- Bodice fitting — Catherine of Aragon
- Chemises — see for example Mary’s orange robe
- Jewelry, partlets, and hair — you can see these throughout most costumes
- Execution scene — sadly no stills showing the coif, but here’s the dress
