Dressing the stars

Last Sunday I went to an exhibition in Woodhorn called ‘dressing the stars’. ‘Dressing the Stars’ is a celebration of all the great British costume designers. On display were forty costumes worn by Keira Knightley in The Duchess, Kate Winslett, Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson in Sense and Sensibility, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean, Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth, Judi Dench in Shakespeare in Love, Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter in The King’s Speech. The costumes were even more fabulously over the top in real life!
