Having worked with Keira Knightley and director Joe Wright on Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, the costume designer Jacqueline Durran has become known for her conceptual take on period clothes. And her latest with the team, Anna Karenina, has an impressive wardrobe based around the idea of mixing chic 1950s couture with traditional styles from the 1870s, the time period in which the story is set. To achieve this, she turned to the houses of Balenciaga and Dior, combining their nipped-in bodices with the typically full, floor-length skirts of the nineteenth century. "I'm not trying to do accurate period costume but some kind of hybrid, something new," she explained to the Cut. This worked especially well for a film that's intentionally (and overly) theatrical. Throughout, Knightley is often draped in vintage furs, plus diamonds and strands of pearls by Chanel, worth up to $2 million apiece.
