This week on The Art of Costume Podcast, Spencer and Elizabeth step into the enchanting world of Memoirs of a Geisha to celebrate the Oscar-winning costumes of designer Colleen Atwood.

Hail, listeners! This week on The Art of Costume Podcast, we’re heading back to ancient Egypt—by way of 1963 Hollywood—as we unravel the epic, opulent, and outrageously chaotic story behind Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s Cleopatra.

Spencer and Elizabeth dive into the legendary costumes designed by not one, not two, but three iconic designers—Irene Sharaff, Vittorio Nino Novarese, and Renié. From Cleopatra’s gilded goddess gowns to Marc Antony’s military regalia, this film set a new gold standard for historical costuming—and for behind-the-scenes drama.

We'll dish on the wild production plagued by health crises, lost scripts, on-set romances, location disasters, and a revolving door of directors. And yes, we’ll talk about that infamous gold outfit. Grab your eyeliner and a goblet of wine—this episode is pure, extravagant scandal from start to finish.

On this episode of The Art of Costume Podcast, step into the English countryside with us as we revisit Joe Wright’s Pride & Prejudice (2005), a film beloved for its romance, wit, and, of course, its stunning costumes by Jacqueline Durran—which earned her a very well-deserved first Oscar nomination. With empire waistlines, muddy hems, and tailored waistcoats aplenty, we examine how Durran brought a fresh, earthy realism to this beloved Jane Austen adaptation.

In a twist of fate, this is Spencer’s very first viewing of the film, so prepare for hot takes, swoons, and a few scandalous misunderstandings. Meanwhile, Elizabeth guides us through the lore, love, and legacy of Austen’s timeless story—with all the drama, wit, and longing glances your heart can handle. Pour the tea, fetch your bonnet, and prepare to fall in love with costume (and maybe Mr. Darcy) all over again.
