The Man From U. N. C. L. E.

I know I'm a little late in posting about this movie, seeing as it was released in theaters clear back in August. But, I wasn't able to see it until recently, hence my tardiness. The moment I finished watching the movie I knew I wanted to do a post about it. The costumes were absolutely out-of-this-world amazing! 

Yes to the amazing color combination in this frame!

Elizabeth Debicki had some shots where she looked exactly like Audrey Hepburn. (You may also recognize her from The Great Gatsby.)

Seriously. Them men looked just as beautiful as the women in this.

Kelly green and white. One of the best color combinations ever!

I've said this before, I love a movie where the costuming takes on a character of it's own. Of course, this isn't always possible, depending on the tone of the movie. (For example, we couldn't have had ostentatious costuming in Schindler's List or True Grit.) But luckily for us - the audience, Guy Ritchie created a rollicking good movie which touched every aspect of the film, and more than satisfied all of our movie-watching taste buds.

This ruffle necked ensemble was a surprising and fresh slice out of the 60's style archives.

Her accessories were so amazing!

I wish I had a full shot of this coat. It took my breath away!

Perhaps the only down-side to the costuming was that Henry Cavill was so muscular that his skinny suits sometimes looked a little awkward. Not a big deal though. I'm not really complaining.

With each new scene, there was a new dress or suit or hat or accessory that took my breath away. I felt like a visual kid in a candy shop. The costuming was done by Joanna Johnston who has had a very diverse and impressive costuming career which includes: Lincoln, Munich, About a Boy, Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump (just to name a few). In this case, the costumes were so perfect and gorgeous that without them, the movie could have fallen flat. There was a very high sense of style and wit in the dialogue and direction, and I believe the costumes were the integral glue that held it all together. If you haven't seen it, you need to do so right away. I cannot wait to see it again. PS - The men are really great to look at as well!

See it!

To the best of my knowledge, I've never watched the original. I'm sure it was fantastic.
