Costumes from Netflix’s original limited series The Queen’s Gambit and the fourth season of The Crown are now on display for virtual exhibiting at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. Available in an interactive, 360-degree view, objects are all rendered within the museum’s Beaux-Arts Court.
Gabrielle Binder designed all the costumes for The Queen’s Gambit. Black and white patterns with crisp structural lines dominated in the fictional 1960s series, also alluding to the components of chess itself. As a coming-of-age story as well, the main character, Beth Harmon, notably grows in her chess skills and fashion sense as the series progresses. Some of the most iconic outfits from the show include Harmon’s first dress, “The Beth Dress”, the “Endgame Dress” from her critical chess match in Russia and “The White Queen” worn at the final scene.
The Crown holds looks inspired by famous British women including Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Princess Diana and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. All the costumes on the show were designed by Emmy-winning costume designer Amy Roberts. As The Crown reflects the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, viewers will see Princess Diana’s iconic wedding dress and her Braemar Games suit.
