THE BODYGUARD

Whitney Houston in the iconic Bodyguard club scene 'Queen of the Night' costume. The costume was vacuum-formed plastic that was then vacuum metallized and highly polished, along with more silver beads than we could count, and mounted on a leather base.  There are several pieces to the costume.  A few were only made for the character to reject in a fitting scene.

Removing the cape at the club performance. The cape was gorgeous - we all loved the hood and the details.

A long shot showing that amazing bead fringe in action.  

Mid performance at the club.  You can see the details on the gloves. Most of the arm band details are on the back and aren't seen here.

Back view of the Queen of the Night costume.  There are spikes on the backs of the arm bands.  The original spikes were deemed too large so they were replaced with shorter versions.
