The eighteenth-century costumes for the 2005 film Casanova, starring Heath Ledger, were created by costume designer Jenny Beavan, who has been responsible for outfitting many well-known costume dramas over the years, including Sense and Sensibility, Ever After, and The King’s Speech. She won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for her work on A Room With a View and a Tony for Best Costume Design for the 2001 revival of Noel Coward’s play Private Lives.

This pink gown first appeared in Casanova, where Natalie Dormer wore it as Victoria. It was used again in 2012 in the Danish film A Royal Affair (En kongelig affære), which borrowed many costumes from other recent eighteenth-century period dramas, such as Marie Antoinette and The Duchess. Alicia Vikander wore it as Caroline Mathilde. Finally, it was worn in 2014 by Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Dido Elizabeth Belle in the film Belle.
