Ensembles Inspired by Interview With the Vampire

This 1994 adaptation of the Anne Rice novel stars Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Kirsten Dunst.
The beautiful costumes, which come from eras spanning the 18th century through the 1990s, were designed by Sandy Powell . Don't be afraid to ask me about ensembles from this film that aren't listed here; I love doing custom projects!

All movie images on this site are the property of their respective owners and are shown for reference purposes only. I am not affiliated with any of these entities.

For photographic examples of my interpretations of each design, please click on the item of your choice. Other sections which feature 18th century or Victorian ensembles like these include my historical design page, Age of Innocence, Sleepy Hollow, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Moulin Rouge, and Phantom of the Opera.

Interview With the Vampire : Claudia's Blue Bustle Gown

Actual Gown

This is the original Victorian-style bustle gown created for Kirsten Dunst to wear in the film. This "natural form" bustle style comes from the late 1870s and early 1880s. The fullness in the back is created with a special petticoat and plenty of "poof" in the gathered (in this case, ruched) fabric at the rear of the dress' overskirt, and not a structured bustle or pad worn under the gown (as was the fashion in the earlier 70s and later 80s).
