Doctor Who is a thrilling journey through time and space that perfectly blends adventure and mystery, making it an ideal choice for Halloween with its array of creatures, costumes, and spine-tingling escapades!

In the 2010 Doctor Who episode The Vampires of Venice, Alex Price wore this striking Elizabethan doublet adorned with pink and purple ribbons.

But this costume didn't originate with Doctor Who. Sandy Powell originally designed it for the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love, where Colin Firth wore it as Lord Wessex.

Sandy Powell should have taken notes

Carol premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2015 before its official release in November.

Based on Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novel The Price of Salt (published under the pseudonym Claire Morgan, and republished under Highsmith's name in 1990 with the title Carol), Dorothy Berwin had obtained the rights to the novel in 1996 and Phyllis Nagy completed a script in 1997 and then was delayed by almost a decade as different actors, directors, and financial backers came and went (Berwin's rights expired in 2010, but she remained as executive producer).

After John Crowley left the project in 2013 (with Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska cast), Todd Haynes was approached to direct. Wasikowska had to leave due to scheduling issues, and Haynes approached Rooney Mara (who had turned down the role of Therese a few years earlier).

Carol was a commercial and critical success (it received a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes, and Rooney Mara received the award for Best Actress), and would go on to receive almost 300 award nominations, and more than 100 awards, including 6 Academy Award nominations: Best Actress (Blanchett), Best Supporting Actress (Mara), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography (Edward Lachman), Best Original Score (Carter Burwell), and Best Costume Design (Sandy Powell). It did not receive an Oscar.

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar Winners

Shakespeare in Love / Colin Firth as Lord Wessex

Year: 1998

Designer: Sandy Powell

I've featured some of the women's costumes from this film before, but the men deserve some attention as well. Lord Wessex wears this magnificent outfit when he comes to inform Viola that a match has been arranged between them. The embroidery on his doublet and cloak is simply jaw-dropping in its variety and intricacy. I've included some closeups to show both the details of the embroidery and the texture of the various materials.

It's a shame we can't see what he's got for footwear, and we also never see him wearing the hat. He also manages to make the ruff look like something a person might actually wear on a regular basis.
