Love is in the air... and so is office policy. ✈️❤️ In Netflix’s Office Romance, Air Cruz CEO Jackie Cruz has built her company around one firm rule: no workplace relationships. But when a charming new attorney joins the airline, her carefully ordered world is thrown into delightful chaos.

Costume designer and CDG member Caroline Duncan brings the film’s witty, modern romance to life with polished corporate style, character-driven suiting, and classic Hollywood glamour.

“Office Romance is a modern romantic screwball comedy, mostly set in the corporate headquarters of Air Cruz, an airline run by Jackie Cruz, played by Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer’s costumes are a modern love letter to the style of the queen of 1930s and 1940s screwball comedies, Katharine Hepburn. Her suiting mixes tailored blazers with wide-legged trousers, classic turtlenecks, belted waists, and a combination of antique and new jewelry to armor her at the office.

Brett Goldstein, who plays Daniel Blanchflower, the airline’s British attorney, begins the film in very buttoned-up Jermyn Street suiting, but as the two fall in love, both of their characters soften in palette and silhouette, bringing in earthier tones and reinforcing an ease with one another.

As the movie features a huge supporting cast, I had fun articulating all of the characters Jackie and Daniel work with, such as Sydney (Betty Gilpin), a fashion-loving, acerbic, and very pregnant peer who dresses in defiance of maternity style, favoring sky-high heels and designer apparel stretched to the max over her belly; Claire (Mary Wiseman), a hopeless romantic in bold, vintage-inspired patterns; Peter Vance (Bradley Whitford), a bulldog attorney in double-breasted suiting and bold ties; and Captain Jack (Edward James Olmos), a retired captain in aviation-inspired fashion.

Creating the look of a modern workplace in a post-COVID world allowed my team to layer in the fantasy of what a return to office life could look like, all through the elevated palette and lens of a romantic comedy.”

Few films capture a pivotal moment in LGBTQIA+ history as powerfully as Milk. Chronicling the life, activism, and legacy of Harvey Milk, the film follows his journey from newcomer to San Francisco’s Castro District to becoming California’s first openly gay elected official, forever changing the fight for equality and representation.

To bring that world to life, costume designer and CDG member Danny Glicker immersed himself in extensive historical research, earning a 2009 Costume Designers Guild Award nomination for Excellence in Period Film.

In an interview with Variety, Glicker said, “We did an incredible amount of research. We’re not replicating some idea of the ’70s or a memory. The goal was to accurately re-create the world as it was.”

Glicker’s research extended beyond photographs and archival footage. He studied garments from Harvey Milk’s personal wardrobe, preserved by the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco, and drew from period protest materials, campaign memorabilia, and community archives to authentically recreate the era. The result was a richly detailed collection featuring more than 100 costume changes for Sean Penn, with every lapel, graphic tee, polyester shirt, button, and silhouette carefully considered to reflect the reality of the time.

Thirty years ago, The Birdcage strutted onto the big screen and instantly became a comedy classic. 🦩✨

Set against the vibrant backdrop of South Beach, the film follows nightclub owner Armand Goldman and the larger-than-life Albert as they attempt to pull off the ultimate performance when Armand’s son brings his fiancée’s ultra-conservative parents home for dinner. What follows is a hilarious collision of family, identity, and farce that remains as beloved today as it was upon its release.

Costume designer and CDG member Ann Roth helped bring the film’s unforgettable characters to life, balancing flamboyant stage looks, colorful Miami style, and moments of heartfelt humanity with her signature artistry.

From roach dresses and leopard prints to beauty queens, troublemakers, and cult icons, costume designer Van Smith helped create some of the most unforgettable looks in independent film history. ✨🦩

A longtime creative partner to filmmaker John Waters and a key member of the legendary Dreamlanders, Smith spent more than three decades crafting the bold, irreverent, and instantly recognizable costumes that defined films such as Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, Polyester, Hairspray, Cry-Baby, Serial Mom, and more.

Perhaps best known for helping shape the iconic look of Divine, Smith’s work challenged conventional ideas of beauty, celebrated individuality, and brought a fearless sense of style to every character he dressed. His costumes were never simply clothing; they were an essential part of the outrageous worlds and unforgettable personalities that continue to captivate audiences today.

In 2025, the Costume Designers Guild honored Van Smith’s enduring legacy with a posthumous induction into the Edith Head Hall of Fame, presented by his longtime collaborator John Waters. 🎬

Stop! That! Train! is speeding onto screens with high-fashion chaos, over-the-top comedy, and a runaway adventure unlike any other. As a catastrophic storm threatens a runaway high-speed Glamazonian Express train, an unlikely group of heroes must come together to save the day. Bringing the film’s larger-than-life world to life is costume designer and CDG member Salvador Perez, whose costumes embrace the movie’s outrageous humor, unforgettable characters, and nonstop sense of fun. 🚂✨

“Working with director Adam Shankman was so much fun. So much of the humor in the film came from sight gags. Adam would stop by my office and say, ‘Can we have a flotation vest that becomes a gown?’ or ‘Can I have a group of rich ladies with enormous shoulder pads?’ ‘How about a glamorous nun?’ And we would just say, ‘Sure, we’ll make it happen.’

The cast was a delight to work with. The queens were so used to being self-sufficient that they were shocked by how well my team took care of them. We refreshed their pads and made sure they had everything they needed to look their best on camera. Costume designing for the legendary RuPaul was a daunting task. I, of course, called her longtime collaborator Zaldy, who gave me great insight. RuPaul just made everything work. She has been doing this for more than 30 years. She is a true diva.

We also had an enormous cast of day players who only shot for a day, and then we had to photo double them for the rest of the shoot!”

The ‘Scary Movie’ franchise is back, and this time, no horror movie trope, reboot, or sequel is safe. Reuniting fan favorites with a new generation of victims and suspects, Scary Movie 6 once again takes aim at the ever-expanding world of horror, delivering the outrageous comedy and sharp parody that made the series a cultural phenomenon. 👻

Bringing the laughs and the looks is costume designer and CDG member Ariyela Wald-Cohain. ✨

“Scary Movie 6 marks my sixth collaboration with Marlon Wayans, and every time we work together, it’s a wild, creative, and incredibly fun ride. Marlon has developed such a strong fashion sense and a very specific point of view over the years, which constantly pushes me to create something more elevated, unexpected, and uniquely suited to him. Comedy is always evolving, new ideas appear at the last minute, and somehow that’s often where the best work happens. As the costume designer, I just need to keep up.

Marlon, Rick Alvarez, Mike Tiddes, and I have worked together long enough to build a level of trust that is genuinely rare in this business. We can communicate an idea with just a few words and know we’re all working toward the same goal. That shorthand allows us to move quickly, take bigger creative risks, and ultimately do better work while having a lot of fun along the way.”

In Margo’s Got Money Troubles, aspiring writer Margo Millet finds her life taking an unexpected turn. Reinventing herself online as the sci-fi-inspired persona “Hungry Ghost”, Margo enters a world of aliens, platform boots, cone bras, and bold self-expression. 👽✨

Costume designer and CDG member Mirren Gordon-Crozier brought that journey to life through costumes that balance fantasy while charting Margo’s growth, resilience, and evolving sense of self.

“As Costume Designer on Margo’s Got Money Troubles, I developed character-driven costumes that followed Margo’s evolution from a struggling college student into the creator of her unconventional career as an OnlyFans star.

For Margo’s character, I used a mix of vintage sourcing, cosplay influences, thrifted pieces, and custom-built looks to blur the line between fantasy and reality while supporting the show’s themes of reinvention, motherhood, and self-discovery. My hope was that the costumes would feel authentic and lived-in while still remaining visually stimulating.”

Costume design is storytelling, and in the new book Dressing the Story, costume designer and CDG member Debra McGuire offers a deeply personal look into the creative process behind some of film and television’s most beloved projects. ✨
 Written with producer Jim Stark, the book explores how costume design shapes character, emotion, and visual storytelling, drawing from McGuire’s remarkable career across productions including Friends, Freaks and Geeks, The Morning Show, Anchorman, Knocked Up, Superbad, and more. 🎬 
“The most exciting part of writing this book has been the opportunity to share it with my creative community — the extraordinary tribe of Costume Designers and Costumers who understand the passion, sacrifice, artistry, and endurance this work requires. Throughout my journey, I have been lifted up by your generosity, wisdom, humor, and unwavering support.

Ours is a collaborative art form built on trust, instinct, craftsmanship, and heart. None of us does it alone. We learn from one another, inspire one another, and carry each other through the impossible days and magical moments alike.

Thank you for being part of my village, my creative family, and the fabric of this story. This book belongs to all of us,” shares McGuire.

Spider-Noir is here, featuring costume design by CDG member Trayce Gigi Field. 🕸️✨

Spider-Noir perfectly blends a film’s noir atmosphere with the striking style of a comic book world. From the darkly humorous hero to the villains, to a glamorous lounge singer wearing vintage-inspired looks influenced by couture houses, every character carries their own distinct palette inspired by the comics.

“Spider Noir is honestly my most beautiful work to date. Creating the first live-action Spider-Man Noir was a dream come true! Because this was the first live-action Spider Noir, I knew we needed to get the super suit and mask exactly right for the fans. I took a grounded realism approach to the Spider’s overall look.

Ben was in the military and fought in France. His vest and pants are French-inspired motorcycle gear, since he rode motorcycles. The mask inspiration came from one of Ben’s 1920s wartime military knit sweaters. It took four levels of digital printing to create the knit-sweater look on the mask.

I loved creating a heightened version of the 1930s for the show’s overall look. I had the best crew ever on this project! From every background character to every principal actor, we gave all of our passion and attention to detail. You truly see all the gorgeous work on screen,” shared Field.

Love is in the air... and so is office policy. ✈️❤️ In Netflix’s Office Romance, Air Cruz CEO Jackie Cruz has built her company around one firm rule: no workplace relationships. But when a charming new attorney joins the airline, her carefully ordered world is thrown into delightful chaos.

Costume designer and CDG member Caroline Duncan brings the film’s witty, modern romance to life with polished corporate style, character-driven suiting, and classic Hollywood glamour.

“Office Romance is a modern romantic screwball comedy, mostly set in the corporate headquarters of Air Cruz, an airline run by Jackie Cruz, played by Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer’s costumes are a modern love letter to the style of the queen of 1930s and 1940s screwball comedies, Katharine Hepburn. Her suiting mixes tailored blazers with wide-legged trousers, classic turtlenecks, belted waists, and a combination of antique and new jewelry to armor her at the office.

Brett Goldstein, who plays Daniel Blanchflower, the airline’s British attorney, begins the film in very buttoned-up Jermyn Street suiting, but as the two fall in love, both of their characters soften in palette and silhouette, bringing in earthier tones and reinforcing an ease with one another.

As the movie features a huge supporting cast, I had fun articulating all of the characters Jackie and Daniel work with, such as Sydney (Betty Gilpin), a fashion-loving, acerbic, and very pregnant peer who dresses in defiance of maternity style, favoring sky-high heels and designer apparel stretched to the max over her belly; Claire (Mary Wiseman), a hopeless romantic in bold, vintage-inspired patterns; Peter Vance (Bradley Whitford), a bulldog attorney in double-breasted suiting and bold ties; and Captain Jack (Edward James Olmos), a retired captain in aviation-inspired fashion.

Creating the look of a modern workplace in a post-COVID world allowed my team to layer in the fantasy of what a return to office life could look like, all through the elevated palette and lens of a romantic comedy.”

Few films capture a pivotal moment in LGBTQIA+ history as powerfully as Milk. Chronicling the life, activism, and legacy of Harvey Milk, the film follows his journey from newcomer to San Francisco’s Castro District to becoming California’s first openly gay elected official, forever changing the fight for equality and representation.

To bring that world to life, costume designer and CDG member Danny Glicker immersed himself in extensive historical research, earning a 2009 Costume Designers Guild Award nomination for Excellence in Period Film.

In an interview with Variety, Glicker said, “We did an incredible amount of research. We’re not replicating some idea of the ’70s or a memory. The goal was to accurately re-create the world as it was.”

Glicker’s research extended beyond photographs and archival footage. He studied garments from Harvey Milk’s personal wardrobe, preserved by the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco, and drew from period protest materials, campaign memorabilia, and community archives to authentically recreate the era. The result was a richly detailed collection featuring more than 100 costume changes for Sean Penn, with every lapel, graphic tee, polyester shirt, button, and silhouette carefully considered to reflect the reality of the time.

Thirty years ago, The Birdcage strutted onto the big screen and instantly became a comedy classic. 🦩✨

Set against the vibrant backdrop of South Beach, the film follows nightclub owner Armand Goldman and the larger-than-life Albert as they attempt to pull off the ultimate performance when Armand’s son brings his fiancée’s ultra-conservative parents home for dinner. What follows is a hilarious collision of family, identity, and farce that remains as beloved today as it was upon its release.

Costume designer and CDG member Ann Roth helped bring the film’s unforgettable characters to life, balancing flamboyant stage looks, colorful Miami style, and moments of heartfelt humanity with her signature artistry.

From roach dresses and leopard prints to beauty queens, troublemakers, and cult icons, costume designer Van Smith helped create some of the most unforgettable looks in independent film history. ✨🦩

A longtime creative partner to filmmaker John Waters and a key member of the legendary Dreamlanders, Smith spent more than three decades crafting the bold, irreverent, and instantly recognizable costumes that defined films such as Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, Polyester, Hairspray, Cry-Baby, Serial Mom, and more.

Perhaps best known for helping shape the iconic look of Divine, Smith’s work challenged conventional ideas of beauty, celebrated individuality, and brought a fearless sense of style to every character he dressed. His costumes were never simply clothing; they were an essential part of the outrageous worlds and unforgettable personalities that continue to captivate audiences today.

In 2025, the Costume Designers Guild honored Van Smith’s enduring legacy with a posthumous induction into the Edith Head Hall of Fame, presented by his longtime collaborator John Waters. 🎬

Stop! That! Train! is speeding onto screens with high-fashion chaos, over-the-top comedy, and a runaway adventure unlike any other. As a catastrophic storm threatens a runaway high-speed Glamazonian Express train, an unlikely group of heroes must come together to save the day. Bringing the film’s larger-than-life world to life is costume designer and CDG member Salvador Perez, whose costumes embrace the movie’s outrageous humor, unforgettable characters, and nonstop sense of fun. 🚂✨

“Working with director Adam Shankman was so much fun. So much of the humor in the film came from sight gags. Adam would stop by my office and say, ‘Can we have a flotation vest that becomes a gown?’ or ‘Can I have a group of rich ladies with enormous shoulder pads?’ ‘How about a glamorous nun?’ And we would just say, ‘Sure, we’ll make it happen.’

The cast was a delight to work with. The queens were so used to being self-sufficient that they were shocked by how well my team took care of them. We refreshed their pads and made sure they had everything they needed to look their best on camera. Costume designing for the legendary RuPaul was a daunting task. I, of course, called her longtime collaborator Zaldy, who gave me great insight. RuPaul just made everything work. She has been doing this for more than 30 years. She is a true diva.

We also had an enormous cast of day players who only shot for a day, and then we had to photo double them for the rest of the shoot!”

Wow! The screening took the cake! 🎂

Air kisses and appreciation for the fabulous audience who joined us for CDG Movie Night’s matinee screening of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on the big screen at the incredible Darryl F.

A round of applause for our brilliant panelists, costume designer and CDG member Eduardo Castro, costume collector and Marilyn Remembered Fan Club President Greg Schreiner and clothing and jewelry designer Michael Schmidt. They shared their passion for costume, memories of “Bill” and shared insights on the lasting language of glamour. ✨

The ‘Scary Movie’ franchise is back, and this time, no horror movie trope, reboot, or sequel is safe. Reuniting fan favorites with a new generation of victims and suspects, Scary Movie 6 once again takes aim at the ever-expanding world of horror, delivering the outrageous comedy and sharp parody that made the series a cultural phenomenon. 👻

Bringing the laughs and the looks is costume designer and CDG member Ariyela Wald-Cohain. ✨

“Scary Movie 6 marks my sixth collaboration with Marlon Wayans, and every time we work together, it’s a wild, creative, and incredibly fun ride. Marlon has developed such a strong fashion sense and a very specific point of view over the years, which constantly pushes me to create something more elevated, unexpected, and uniquely suited to him. Comedy is always evolving, new ideas appear at the last minute, and somehow that’s often where the best work happens. As the costume designer, I just need to keep up.

Marlon, Rick Alvarez, Mike Tiddes, and I have worked together long enough to build a level of trust that is genuinely rare in this business. We can communicate an idea with just a few words and know we’re all working toward the same goal. That shorthand allows us to move quickly, take bigger creative risks, and ultimately do better work while having a lot of fun along the way.”

In Margo’s Got Money Troubles, aspiring writer Margo Millet finds her life taking an unexpected turn. Reinventing herself online as the sci-fi-inspired persona “Hungry Ghost”, Margo enters a world of aliens, platform boots, cone bras, and bold self-expression. 👽✨

Costume designer and CDG member Mirren Gordon-Crozier brought that journey to life through costumes that balance fantasy while charting Margo’s growth, resilience, and evolving sense of self.

“As Costume Designer on Margo’s Got Money Troubles, I developed character-driven costumes that followed Margo’s evolution from a struggling college student into the creator of her unconventional career as an OnlyFans star.

For Margo’s character, I used a mix of vintage sourcing, cosplay influences, thrifted pieces, and custom-built looks to blur the line between fantasy and reality while supporting the show’s themes of reinvention, motherhood, and self-discovery. My hope was that the costumes would feel authentic and lived-in while still remaining visually stimulating.”

Costume design is storytelling, and in the new book Dressing the Story, costume designer and CDG member Debra McGuire offers a deeply personal look into the creative process behind some of film and television’s most beloved projects. ✨
 Written with producer Jim Stark, the book explores how costume design shapes character, emotion, and visual storytelling, drawing from McGuire’s remarkable career across productions including Friends, Freaks and Geeks, The Morning Show, Anchorman, Knocked Up, Superbad, and more. 🎬 
“The most exciting part of writing this book has been the opportunity to share it with my creative community — the extraordinary tribe of Costume Designers and Costumers who understand the passion, sacrifice, artistry, and endurance this work requires. Throughout my journey, I have been lifted up by your generosity, wisdom, humor, and unwavering support.

Ours is a collaborative art form built on trust, instinct, craftsmanship, and heart. None of us does it alone. We learn from one another, inspire one another, and carry each other through the impossible days and magical moments alike.

Thank you for being part of my village, my creative family, and the fabric of this story. This book belongs to all of us,” shares McGuire.

Spider-Noir is here, featuring costume design by CDG member Trayce Gigi Field. 🕸️✨

Spider-Noir perfectly blends a film’s noir atmosphere with the striking style of a comic book world. From the darkly humorous hero to the villains, to a glamorous lounge singer wearing vintage-inspired looks influenced by couture houses, every character carries their own distinct palette inspired by the comics.

“Spider Noir is honestly my most beautiful work to date. Creating the first live-action Spider-Man Noir was a dream come true! Because this was the first live-action Spider Noir, I knew we needed to get the super suit and mask exactly right for the fans. I took a grounded realism approach to the Spider’s overall look.

Ben was in the military and fought in France. His vest and pants are French-inspired motorcycle gear, since he rode motorcycles. The mask inspiration came from one of Ben’s 1920s wartime military knit sweaters. It took four levels of digital printing to create the knit-sweater look on the mask.

I loved creating a heightened version of the 1930s for the show’s overall look. I had the best crew ever on this project! From every background character to every principal actor, we gave all of our passion and attention to detail. You truly see all the gorgeous work on screen,” shared Field.
