Glenn Close wore this colorful coat as the wicked Cruella De Vil in the live-action version of “101 Dalmatians.”
Replicas of three gowns from “Gone with the Wind” have a place of honor in the exhibit.

The exhibit not only includes the snazzy pink suit Reese Witherspoon wore in “Legally Blonde 2,” it also features the matching outfit her little dog donned.
A section of the exhibit is devoted to wardrobe items from films that won the Oscar for best costume design.
Among the Oscar-winning costumes in the exhibit are Guenevere’s (Vanessa Redgrave) gown from “Camelot” and Maximus’ (Russell Crowe) fighting gear from “Gladiator.”
