28 Characters' Costumes With Eyebrow-Arching Details

Costume design in Hollywood is such a big deal it has its own Oscar category. And with good reason! Even the most mundane outfits are stitched seam-to-seam with truly impressive details. And if you look close enough, the costumes in a movie or show tell as much of a story as the script does.
