At one point, I’m gonna say we were seeing a hundred people a day? We would get the person’s head shot and sizes the day before. That night I would go and set up fittings, and put looks together, and then put out, say, three to four different options. So we did individually fit every single person that’s at the party. Alexander McQueen lent several pieces to the production. They were mostly worn by Effie; this included her butterfly dress from the reaping. [3] For the 75th Hunger Games, the tributes had electric-light-studded outfits. [3] District 4 - Fishing [ ] Clove and Cato were dressed as gods to represent their district. The gold color was shiny and sure to catch attention. Their headpieces were made of the same materials as the victor's crown/headband. [1] District 3 - Technology [ ] This Friday, a little old movie called The Hunger Games (based on the first book from Suzanne Collins’s best-selling trilogy) hits theaters. Costume designer Judianna Makovsky had the task of re-creating the looks for the people of Panem, including the outrageous pink getup Elizabeth Banks wears as Effie Trinket, the uniforms worn by tributes as they fight to the death, and Jennifer Lawrence’s show-stopping “girl on fire” moment. Makovsky, who hadn’t even read the books before director Gary Ross offered her the gig, talks about becoming a fan, her connection to Lenny Kravitz, and whether she’s Team Peeta or Team Gale.

Effie, over time, gets a little more serious. She loses a little bit of her flightiness. Were you able to reflect that in her clothing as the movie progressed? Whether you're a tribute of District 12 or a resident of the Capitol, our Hunger Games Costumes category has something for everyone. Our high-quality costumes and accessories will help you bring the world of Panem to life and make a statement at any event. Summerville and director Francis Lawrence decided to base the early Capitol aesthetic on post-WWII Americana in the 1940s-50s. [10] On Lucy Gray's "granny boots": “What can I put her in, that’s going to allow her to crawl through these tunnels and scurry up walls and, and get around?” [Summerville] wondered. “I wanted to give her something that was really attractive, and had a little bit of sex appeal and glamour to it. She’s a bit of a cancan girl, but then also give her ankle support.” [10]Well, one of the great liberties that we did have is, in the world of Panem, in the Capitol, fashion is constantly changing. So we didn’t really have to stay literally tied to a lot of things. After the first film, we got to change with trends and fashion, like in the real world, but at a different pace in the Capitol. Trish Summerville, who had previously worked on Catching Fire, was brought on again as the costume designer for Songbirds and Snakes. [10] As of September 2023, numerous set pieces, props, and costumes are on display at The Hunger Games: The Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Capitol aesthetic was inspired by the work of Elsa Schiaparelli, Alexander McQueen, and John Giuliano, as well as Elizabethan clothing and Italian fascist architecture. [4]

Main article: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Costume designer: Trish Summerville The District 10 male and female tributes had costumes that were glitzed up in golden fringe, and meant to represent cowboys and cowgirls from their district. [1] One of the things that Francis and I talk about—and we talked with Elizabeth about it—is that Effie is in a really tough position. She lived this Capitol life, but she starts to realize how damaging this all is. She looks happy, and she’s very Capitol, and she’s vibrant and she’s colorful—but she’s always uncomfortable. If you're looking for something more subtle, we have a range of District-themed costumes. Represent your favorite district with pride, whether it's the agricultural District 11 or the tech-savvy District 3. These costumes are perfect for group cosplays or for those who want to pay homage to their favorite characters without going all out. From handcrafted designs to pieces by Alexander McQueen, Nicholas K, Tex Saverio and Juun J, the new Hunger Games film is an eye-popping fashion fantasy. The Hollywood Blog caught up with costume designer Trish Summerville to talk about the fashions she chose for Katniss, Peeta, and the competitors in the arena—plus, how she handled author Suzanne Collins’s frequent impulse to have characters appear nearly naked.We always take the actors’ personalities into account. I mean, I never really design the clothes until I know who the actor is. Of course they have opinions, but you also have to make the actor comfortable on-camera. That’s my job: to make it easy for them to their job, to not think about the costume. Some of these costumes, of course, are not the most comfortable things on earth, especially in that heat. But you have to let the actor’s personality shine through to a certain extent.
