Costumes of and thoughts and studies on the ‚Chronicles of Riddick‘ Note: This is a work in progress. Almost all images I wanted to have here *are* already here, but some of the costume descriptions are still missing my descriptions, which I will have to copy to the appropriate places. This takes some time… as […]
Riddick Costumes
Imam
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 […]
Necro Various
Necromonger VariousBesides the armor the Necromongers are wearing, there are also some glimpses at more or less ‚civil‘ clothing of the Necromonger society, which shall be analyzed on this page Lensor While the Lensor’s clothes are definitely not civilian clothing, they are still interesting. All starts with the almost typical body suit, which, according to […]
Aereon
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, […]
Purifier
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 […]
Crematoria Various
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 […]
Riddick
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 […]
Dame Vaako
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 […]
Helion Various
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 […]
Shirah
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 […]
