Hollywood Costume Exhibit is one of the coolest things to ever make its way through Arizona. Featuring costumes from iconic films both past and present, this exhibit is perfect entertainment for just about anyone.

We were so thrilled when Phoenix Art Museum invited us to come and share the exhibit with our readers. The opportunity got even better when we had the chance to interview the fashion curator of Phoenix Art Museum, Dennita Sewell, to find out exclusive information about the Hollywood Costume and Hollywood Red Carpet exhibits. Find out more information about the exhibit in our feature story Hollywood Comes to Arizona here.

The production value of the exhibit, as you will see in the photos that follow, is unmatched in its attention to detail, ability to spark interest, and really helping the audience make sense of the countless costumes in the exhibit. (Well, not truly countless, there is a list of all the costume featured in the exhibit on PhxArt.org/HollywoodCostume/ListofCostumes)

We hope you enjoy our photos as much as we enjoyed taking them.
