About the Costume

Costumes for the 1998 film Shakespeare In Love were designed by Sandy Powell who won an  Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Her gowns from the film went on to be used extensively in Showtime’s series The Tudors, which recycled costumes from nearly every Tudor and Elizabethan based film and miniseries since the late ’60s.

This heavily embroidered yellow gown was first worn by Gwyneth Paltrow as Viola De Lesseps in Shakespeare in Love, and then again in 2009 in the third season of The Tudors, where it was worn by Joss Stone as Anne of Cleves.

Costume Commentary

  1. I think the collar was seen on Bloody Queens Elizabeth and Mary 2016 documentary on Queen Mary of Scots. I don’t know the actress’ name though.

  2. By the way, Anne of Cleves’ necklace was previously worn by Annabelle Wallis as Jane Seymour in “The Tudors”…

    And in this picture, she’s wearing a robe later worn by Tamzin Merchant as Katherine Howard…

  3. Sandy Powell made a great work in “Shakespeare in Love”, she respected the age she was representing in the costumes she designed, and all dresses (including Lady Viola de Lesseps, as well as her mother, the Queen herself and the courtiers) are properly Elizabethan, as they should be…

    Although I like better how it looks in Joss Stone than in Gwyneth Paltrow… I don’t know how to explain it, but Joss has the perfect face for the gown…
