About the Costume

This yellow gown was designed by Margaret Furse for Glenda Jackson to wear as Queen Elizabeth I in the 1971 film Mary, Queen of Scots. The sleeves are distinctive and a hallmark of many of the gowns designed by Furse in several films for which she designed costumes.

The costume was made over – or perhaps – toned down, for use in the 1974 The Four Musketeers: Milady’s Revenge, where it was worn by Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter. The parlet and ruffles on the sleeves have been removed, the underskirt swapped out, and some gold trim has been added to the front of the bodice. Nonetheless, it is those distinctive sleeves that give away the fact that these two gowns are the same. 

It was adapted yet again for the 1977 film The Man in the Iron Mask. The sleeves have been pulled up, with tulle added around the neckline and sleeves, when it was worn by Jenny Agutter as Louise de la Vallière.

This costume is an excellent example of the similarities and differences between a period, and how one costume can be made over to change with the times as needed. This costume, firmly Elizabethan at its start, is now very clearly Stuart in design.

Costume Commentary

  1. This is it on Jenny Agutter as Louise de la Vallière in the 1977 Man in the Iron Mask, isn’t it?
    Also: Other than the pink Victorian gown used in the Tudors (remember that one?) or this mid-to-late 18th century robe sans undies used for 1680ies set ‘A little Chaos’ – and details aside – this is actually a nice example to reasonably tie the evolving but not wholly opposing silhouettes of, say 1580ies to 1660ies, together by showcasing how accessoirizing and ‘how-to-wear’ can shake things up.

    • Glad you saw this too! Saw this on Frock Flicks and said to myself “Wait…is that?” And yes indeed! I agree it’s going to be a really good example of evolving clothing! If I ever write a book this will be a wonderful example.
