Jennifer Garner reprised her role as the so-called superhero Elektra, despite dying in the previous movie “Daredevil.” The filmmakers promised that Elektra would have a super-hero-movie-appropriate costume the second time around, but that was far from the case.
In an interview, Garner discussed the outfit saying, “I knew the comic book fans weren’t happy with her wearing black in Daredevil. So, it was important for her to be in red.” Perhaps the costume designers shouldn’t have focused less of their energy on the color and more on the suit itself.
Elle Woods - Legally Blonde
There were many outfits worth remembering in the "Legally Blonde" movie, but the most talked-about one is the pink bunny costume. Though it was meant as an embarrassment, Elle turned the situation into the perfect moment.
The costume was supposed to make her look like a cute but dumb blonde, but she worked it in her favor, while still looking breathtakingly gorgeous!
Padmé Amidala - Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
There seem to be many provocative choices regarding the "Star Wars" franchise's costumes. The prequels had Natalie Portman's character, Padmé, wearing a tight white costume. The outfit gets ripped, which leaves the character with an exposed midriff for most of the movie.
It was upsetting to fans that years after the controversy over placing their sole female character in a gold bikini, the filmmakers managed to make the same mistake.
The Entire Cast - Sucker Punch
It seems like every director in Hollywood has that one project they dreamt of making since they were kids. For Zack Snyder, this was "Sucker Punch." The film is not a good one, from a poor and unstructured script to bad effects, it seemed like the film suffered from everything.
Many found the outfits the young women were wearing objectifying and unnecessary. Snyder pushed back, explaining that the movie is less about what the women are wearing and more about their imagination, dreaming of being able to do anything they want.
Mystique - X-Men: First Class
Actress Jennifer Lawrence had to undergo hours of make-up for her role as Mystique in the "X-Men" films. In the comic books, the shapeshifting character usually sticks to an original, signature costume, which means tedious hours in makeup could have been avoided.
In the movie, the costume designers decided to have Mystique naked, which meant hours of makeup went into perfecting Lawrence's look. Eventually, Mystique did put some clothes on, but that only happened a few films in.
