Hollywood Costuming	comment	Due to factors ranging from budget to Artistic License, period costuming in shows and movies is just downright inaccurate half the time — and that's not even counting instances of Reality Is Unrealistic where there's a justification for the anachronistic elements. This extends well beyond clothing and accessories: period-accurate hair and makeup are even harder to find in Hollywood. Sometimes costumes are accurate to one historical era or style, but not the particular one relevant to the story. Sometimes the costumes have more to do with the contemporary fashions of the production rather than those of the story's setting. Sometimes the costume designers will just decide to throw historical accuracy to the wind and go for creativity and visual impact instead — this often happens with Pimped-Out Dress scenes, especially if the historically accurate version wouldn't create the right impression on the audience. This is actually Older Than Print. Up until the Enlightenment, most Western European visual artists had little to no idea what ancient Middle Eastern or Greco-Roman clothing looked like — and would likely have been deeply scandalized if they did — resulting in hundreds of Biblical or mythological characters in full medieval or Renaissance dress. In Shakespeare's time, theater troupes used the cast-offs of wealthy patrons as costume wardrobes, recycling outfits across many productions. Victorian reprints of Jane Austen's novels often had new illustrations depicting the characters in modest Victorian clothing rather than the comparatively skimpy light muslin dresses of the Regency era. And in The Golden Age of Hollywood, certain movie costumes have been marketed to sewing pattens and altered to be more budget-friendly, easy to sew, and in-line with contemporaneous silhouettes. Note that to count an example must take place in a Real Life historical era, not a neo-historical future or a Fantasy Counterpart Culture. A Sub-Trope of Hollywood History. A Super-Trope to Gorgeous Period Dress and Hollywood Military Uniform. Often overlaps with Fashion Dissonance, Present-Day Past (when the sets, props, and costuming are not historical at all), Costume Porn, and Fashions Never Change. Some instances may be caused by Newer Than They Think on the costumers' part. Extreme cases can lead to WTH, Costuming Department? Subtrope of Hollywood Style.

Hollywood Costuming / int_10550610	comment	Happy Days: When the series started out, the characters wore 1950s fashions and hairstyles, but by the fifth season (1977-1978), the cast looked like they were indeed from the 1970s but somehow got warped back to the 1950s. This trend continued into the 1980s, with the characters wearing hairstyles and clothing appropriate for the early MTV era rather than the early 1960s.

Rose and Esther also wear their hair down, when girls of their age would surely have worn it up.

Hollywood Costuming / int_1484a16e	comment	In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J. K. Rowling has "Nearly Headless Nick" wearing a ruff to hide the disjunction between his head and neck. Unfortunately, she states in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets that Nick was executed in 1492, a good fifty years before ruffs came into style. The film versions depict Nick in the high style of the 1590s, a good hundred years after his supposed death; blame that on the first book as well, where Nick claimed that he'd been dead for "nearly four hundred years".

For reference, the chiton was popularly worn from around 750 BC to 30 BC, and the time period depicted was around 1190/1170 BC, which is a rather big gap.

Hollywood Costuming / int_1e533773	comment	Beauty and the Beast (2017) thanks to Emma Watson's insistence that Belle would not wear a corset with any of her dresses - as she felt she wouldn't want to be restricted and move freely. But the film is set in 18th century France, when stays were designed to support the bust rather than reduce the waist, and had to be easy to move in. Going without one back then would be the equivalent of going braless today; stays were pretty much the ancestor of the bra.

This obviously has to do with modern audiences perceiving moccasins and breeches as unmanly.

Ironically, modern audiences generally find early Victorian fashion bizarre and unflattering compared to the much breezier styles of the Regency period.

Hollywood Costuming / int_543bfacd	comment	Pick a Dracula movie. Any Dracula movie. 1931's Dracula can mostly be excused from this: the whole story got a period update from The Gay '90s to the time the story was filmed, which today may seem odd but at the time was simply Pragmatic Adaptation along the lines of moving a story set in the 1960s to the 2010s. By this logic, Mina and Lucy's bobbed haircuts, heavy makeup and long narrow dresses make sense. What doesn't work, though, is Dracula's ancient "brides" having similarly sleek, short hair. The Hammer Horror series (and unrelated spiritual successors like The Fearless Vampire Killers) are all apparently set in Ãœberwald circa 1965. Try finding one of these films where the women's hairstyles aren't some architectural combination of Gibson Girl poufs and 1960s half-updone bouffants and their dresses aren't some weird gestalt silhouette that only existed in sixties impressions of the nineteenth century. The Setting Update Dracula A.D. 1972 inverts this. Drac's latest victim drifts about in a very-chic-by-early-70s-standards combination fluffy bob/long-in-the-back haircut and a standard diaphanous pseudo-Victorian shift. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a weird case. Lucy and Mina wear painstakingly carefully designed late-Victorian gowns about 80% of the time, with appropriate hairstyles to match, even when the costumes are ugly by modern standards (Lucy's direly frumpy wedding dress◊ comes to mind). But when the Rule of Symbolism flies in, accuracy goes straight out the window, resulting in a few costumes that are just off the wall. Mina's decades-out-of-style bustle dress however is meant to show that she's a poor school mistress who can't afford the latest fashions.

Hollywood Costuming / int_88e691e3	comment	The Frozen series is supposedly set sometime in the early to mid 19th century, yet the skirts of both female leads' costumes don't even show a hint of crinoline. They either fall in tight folds that flounce nicely when moving, like Anna's ball gown, or straight down, like Elsa's coronation dress. A cut scene from an earlier draft of the first movie showed the sisters together in a dressing room where Anna tries on a tight-laced corset (as fashion standards of the actual time period dictated), possibly lampshading the physical features both Elsa and Anna display. Arguably, the fact that both sisters were shut inside the castle for 13 years with minimal contact to the outside world (ostensibly to hide Elsa's powers) may somewhat explain where their clothing styles seem out of touch with everyone else.

Egypt was a Hellenistic nation at the time, as was much of the Mediterranean after Alexander the Great's conquests. Therefore, the majority of the Egyptian people including the commoners would actually be wearing Greek clothing as one looked at most coins depicted the royals and the Faiyuum mummy portraits of non-aristocratic families. According to the director's commentary they were perfectly aware of the historical circumstances but chose to go for Rule of Cool, while at the same time trying hard to distance themselves from other well-known and stereotypical depictions of Egypt.

Hollywood Costuming / int_aa4ce711	comment	Bridgerton has scenes of the girls being tight-laced into corsets, with Lady Featherington insisting that when she was their age, her waist was only the span of an orange. In the time period the series is set in (the Regency Era), women wore stays and not corsets; the fashion at the time was to look like a Greek column. The dresses weren't intended to highlight a lady's waist, and went straight up and down. What's more is that Daphne has scratches and scabs from wearing her corset without a shift — something which no one who regularly wears stays or corsets would even think of doing.

Hollywood Costuming / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones would occasionally handwave this by claiming that a certain style was simply local to the area. However, some outfits genuinely stand out as being unusual for a pseudo-medieval fantasy, as seen here: Daenerys and Missendei both at various points wear odd leather shoulderpads whose straps cross their chest in a way that's seemingly supposed to look like armor but mostly just highlights their breasts. Cersei's odd gown from the final seasons with tiny horizontal stripes that looks entirely like it's made of modern fabric, not helped by the odd cap sleeves on the black overcoat, which has a weird metal spinal decoration that looks like it should prevent her from sitting. By season seven, King's Landing has somehow entirely changed not just its fashion style, but prevailing fabric type. While this could be justified as Winter Is Coming, it's odd to see characters who formerly walked around in floaty, colorful silk dresses and long hair wearing thick, body-conforming black knits with pixie cuts.

Hollywood Costuming / int_b6b83346	comment	1931's Dracula can mostly be excused from this: the whole story got a period update from The Gay '90s to the time the story was filmed, which today may seem odd but at the time was simply Pragmatic Adaptation along the lines of moving a story set in the 1960s to the 2010s. By this logic, Mina and Lucy's bobbed haircuts, heavy makeup and long narrow dresses make sense. What doesn't work, though, is Dracula's ancient "brides" having similarly sleek, short hair.

Hollywood Costuming / int_b86b5220	comment	A minor, intentional one in Spartacus: Blood and Sand. The Romans wear authentic legionary uniforms, but a version that would not be adopted until 70 years after Spartacus' death. The developers knew this but decided to go with the later but more iconic look to make it feel more Rome-ish. Considering the already highly stylized nature of the series this is probably a good thing. What's more is that there's a blend of aversions and straight examples such as Crixus and Sura sporting modern hairstyles, whereas Lucretia has period-accurate wigs. Or at least, they were believed to be period-accurate at the time the show as made; later research showed that the elaborate styles initially believed to only be possible on wigs actually can be done to someone's real hair.note It was possibly also a stylistic choice, as Lucretia is the only Roman woman confirmed to be wearing wigs; to show that she's not as high class as the others using their real hair.

Lucy and Mina wear painstakingly carefully designed late-Victorian gowns about 80% of the time, with appropriate hairstyles to match, even when the costumes are ugly by modern standards (Lucy's direly frumpy wedding dress◊ comes to mind). But when the Rule of Symbolism flies in, accuracy goes straight out the window, resulting in a few costumes that are just off the wall. Mina's decades-out-of-style bustle dress however is meant to show that she's a poor school mistress who can't afford the latest fashions.

Hollywood Costuming / int_bb467262	comment	Asterix: The Gaulish women conform more to 1950s expectations of gender roles, with feminine bias-cut and fishtail skirts (with some teenage girl background characters wearing circle skirts), than to relatively unisex historical Gaulish dress, where the main difference between the genders was that women's tunics were a bit longer. One story hinges on a Straw Feminist liberating the village women by persuading them to wear trousers rather than skirts — historically, Armorican women and men both wore trousers under layers of tunics for maximum warmth and comfort in a cold, damp climate. This is lampshaded in a strip drawn by Uderzo for Elle magazine in which the narration describes historically accurate Gaulish fashion while Geriatrix's wife is posing about looking like a 1950s movie star. She even has a beehive hairstyle, while all the other Gaulish women have historically accurate (but timeless) long or plaited hair. Cacofonix's slowly evolving design caused him to end up with something of a 1970s retro-50s hairstyle around the time that this was happening in Real Life, but this is definitely intentional and based on his personality. Almost definitely unintentional is that the shoes worn by the Gauls would be more at home in the 11th Century. Used for deliberate stereotyping in other cases: Asterix's Britannic cousin Anticlimax wears baggy tweed trousers (as the historical Britons did) but his shoes have long ties that wrap tightly around his legs up to below the knee, giving his trousers the distinctive shape of plus-fours. A Turkish woman in Asterix and the Magic Carpet is dressed in a burqa, more than 700 years before Islam arrived in Anatolia.

Here is what women would have actually worn at Gatsby's mansion in 1922. The 2013 adaptation pushes this even further with modernized depictions of the 1920s and heavy Art Deco motifs.

Despite the Civil War setting, the March sisters can be seen wearing new cotton dresses, even though there was a cotton shortage in the war! They also surely would have worn hand-me-downs, given their Impoverished Patrician status.

Ditto for when Melinda Warren comes from that time to the present. "Pardon My Past" has flashbacks in The Roaring '20s, and the costumes for the sisters' past lives are very much The Theme Park Version of The Flapper dress. The dresses are all knee length, when hemlines didn't get shorter until the latter half of the decade. P Baxter wears a Little Black Dress which wouldn't be popularized until much later, P Russell wears bold red which wasn't commonly worn then, and P Bowen's is far too revealing; dresses of the time are remembered for being risquÃ©, but only in comparison to the Victorian and Edwardian fashions that came before. While giving the impression of a loose silhouette, the dresses are also still form fitting enough to look sexy by late 90s standards, whereas most flapper dresses were quite androgynous.
