The Muppets (2011) was excellent and I highly recommend seeing this movie if you have not already. I never watched the Muppet Show, it was a bit before my time. I did, however, see and own most of the Muppet movies (The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, Muppet Treasure Island, Muppet Christmas Carol..)
I thought the costumes were excellent. Amy Adams is lovely no matter what she is in, but her wardrobe was positively adorable. All of her outfits were in the 1950s/early 60s style dresses, cute tops, belted waists and happy dances to make the skirts twirl. I particularly like the aqua colored dress. So sweet!:
The costumes were done by Rahel Afiley, lovely work! This designer seems to be up and coming, not many films under her belt, but excellent work! She not only designed the costumes for the human characters, but for the Muppets themselves! I am, of course, jealous of the chance to work with such creative costumes. The matching outfits between the brothers were adorable and well thought out! There is an interview with the designer here!
In her interview, she says that Miss Piggy was most exciting to design for. I can see why! The couture pig has stunning outfits in the film as she works for a fashion magazine in Paris.
Miss Piggy is still a depiction of beauty and is actually works, in the film, in plus size fashion, which I loved! She may be just a Muppet, she has definitely earned her celebrity status. And what's better than a stunningly dressed pig with golden curled hair who knows karate? I can't think if much, can you?
