The Harley Quinn Outfit In Suicide Squad

Harley Quinn wears a jester suit when she made her debut on the screen in Batman: The Animated Series. We did not see a getup like that in Suicide Squad. They instead put Margot Robbie in hot pants and tight clothes as if she were a sex symbol. In 2016, the star told the New York Times what she thought of it. “As Margot, no, I don’t like wearing that. I’m eating burgers at lunchtime, and then you go do a scene where you’re hosed down and soaking wet in a white T-shirt. It’s so clingy, and you’re self-conscious about it,” she said. The getup was changed for the better in the next movie.

The Iconic Pink Dress In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

While Marilyn Monroe looked sexy in her pink gown in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, it could have been even more revealing. A real-life scandal influenced its design as we know it. At first, she was supposed to wear something even racier than that. However, word got out that the actress once posed nude for photos. This controversy forced 20th Century Fox to change the design of her dress since they could not afford more public outrage. This is the reason the costume designer had to come up with something else quickly. In the end, William Travilla designed the strapless pink dress. Even though it was more modest than originally planned, it was still a sexy and alluring outfit all in all.
