Stanley Kubrick is well known for his innovative camera work and meticulous attention to detail. His 1975 film 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑳𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏 is no exception. Kubrick conducted extensive research into the eighteenth century, and every aspect of the production—from the costumes and props to the sets and lighting—was carefully designed to create a historically authentic look.   Milliner Francis Wilson is credited with creating many of the hats and bonnets seen throughout the film. This particularly lovely example, trimmed with lace, yellow ribbon, and an ostrich feather, was later reused in another production for which Milena Canonero served as costume designer. Given their shared involvement in both films, it is likely that Wilson and Canonero worked closely together to ensure each hat complemented its accompanying costume.   The hat first appeared in 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑳𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏, where it was worn by Marisa Berenson as Lady Honoria Lyndon.   More than three decades later, it was reused in 2006’s 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆, where Kirsten Dunst wore it as the French queen in Sofia Coppola’s film of the same name.   Interestingly, both 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑳𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏 and 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆 received the Academy Award for Best Costume Design.
