Instead, she joins her husband as a daring secret agent, fulfilling her desire for an adventurous, thrilling life. By the end of the film, she is no longer this bored, bland housewife who regrets not doing more with her life.

It’s about Helen embracing her courageous and daring nature - not hiding behind bad fashion and self doubt - and taking charge of her life. This moment is important because it’s about more than just Helen playing a role to fulfill a mission. By simply removing the excess frill from the dress, suddenly this dorky, childish outfit transforms into a beautiful, sleek dress. There’s a lot riding on the success of the mission, and she must look the part. When she sees herself, she knows something’s not right. It’s like someone dyed a Disney princess’s dress black. The outfit is ridiculous, with frilly lace collars, sleeves, and accents. However, when Helen gets a secret mission to pose as a prostitute and dance for an arms dealer, she chooses the sexiest outfit she owns. As Jamie Lee Curtis said, “Juno Skinner is everything Helen Tasker isn’t.” Juno’s clothes aren’t terribly revealing, but her clothes are tailored to fit her form, which reveals her figure. True, the style in the ’90s was pretty baggy, but her clothes aren’t flattering at all.Ĭompare her fashion to the film’s femme fatale, Juno Skinner (played by Tia Carrere). Throughout the film, her clothes are brown, drab, and frumpy. In James Cameron’s 1994 action-romance-comedy True Lies, Jamie Lee Curtis plays the epitome of a dorky, bored housewife. But your costume design doesn’t have to be crazy complicated to pull this off. So, when a character starts dressing differently, this can be a critical moment in their development - when handled correctly. Sometimes, costume design is either very overstated (with ridiculous or over-the-top outfits) or terribly overlooked (with characters dressed too similarly or just not representing their personalities or ages).Ĭostume design is necessary because it helps convey who the characters are. A fifteen-year-old girl in 1997 wouldn’t dress the same as a forty-five-year-old man in 1939. While some characters and scripts don’t call for anything special, the characters still need to look a certain way. Her energy, enthusiasm and commitment to clients and their individual circumstances has contributed to Tony Tilenni & Associates being recognised for service excellence and professionalism in financial planning over a number of years.Here are two simple-yet-brilliant examples of how costume design can convey - and even dramatically transform - a character’s arc.Ĭostume design is critical in film and video production. She is an active contributor to Women in Financial Planning forums which aims to assist and empower women to be more involved in the financial aspects of their lives. Helen is highly regarded and respected by her fellow support persons and financial planners in other firms.
