Naergi's Costuming Site

The Imam is wearing a knee length, striped red tunic, a floor length brown vest (fine linen or rough cotton) with sari trims at the front edges, sand-colored pants and a burgundy scarf decorated with a metal belt. His cap seems to be made of cut leather. This is the same original outfit, as offered […]

Aereon’s dress is described in the ‚Riddick insider‘ as being made from ‚crushed Swarowsky (not *my* typo – sic!) crystal‘.I will prove in this costume study that this description is wrong as it can be. First, as you can perfectly see here, we have at least two layers in the costume: First, an underdress, A-shaped, […]

The Purifier’s outfit seems to consist of a floor length leather coat, which is cut with gores at the bottom back side to allow for maximum movement. And while he seems to wear black trousers with it, he doesn’t seem to wear a shirt. This can be seen in the Director’s Cut, when he tears […]

Interesting enough, the prisoners of Crematoria – save Riddick and Kyra – all seem to wear the same basic clothes:A grayish suit with orange stripes. The shirt of said suit is front-closing, the front opening being bordered with said stripes. Additionally, there are Cyrillic letters printed to the right front of the shirts. The shirts […]

General costume Hah! I searched long for an excuse to analyze such a ’simple‘ costume… until I took a closer look and found that it’s not exactly *that* simple at all. Let me tell you why… Alright. Close your eyes after reading the following question and try to come up with an image in your […]

LightI have no idea if this is one or two dresses, but it’s shown with different accessories in the movie. First, it’s worn with a ’smaller‘ necklace and a belt… and then it’s worn with a wider necklace, without the belt. The seams seem to be pretty much in the same places on those both […]

Various Helion Prime costumesLajjun and Ziza; Lajjun’s bathrobe and Ziza’s nightgown: The bathrobe seems to be made from doubled, gold stripe woven organza. Note the enormous stuffed collar on this one. Lajjun is wearing another sleeveless shirt under this robe. Ziza’s nightgown is made from a patterned cotton, I guess; and as you can see […]

For my life I couldn’t find further pictures of Kristin Lehman from that movie other than I could screenshot from the Director’s cut (which are shown below) – well, they have to be enough for a rough costume analysis…In my opinion, which, of course, can be wrong from the very few pictures I got of […]

Now – from the title of the movie as well as from the time aspect of the story, this page shouldn’t be here. However – from the *costumes* this page is supposed to be here as well – even if I guess that Queen Isabel’s gowns are a bit, uhm, revealing, they still look much […]

Blue-red dance dress One of the few gowns that are shown early in the movie that still has the ‚Tudor‘ sleeves. The pomegranate embroideries on undersleeves and low-necked smock neckline are just gorgeous. Red overcoats Black and white court robe This gown is made of black jacquard silk (see last picture that I have highlighted […]
