Consolata Boyle | Clothes on Film

Friday 6th May sees the release of Florence Foster Jenkins, the 1944 set true story of a woman, Ms. Foster Jenkins herself (played by Meryl Streep) who heard nothing but sweet angels in her head, yet couldn’t actually sing for a toffee. Her manager and husband St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant) hides the truth during the private recitals, but when Florence agrees to sing live at Carnegie Hall, things begin to get a little tricky… Costume designer for Florence Foster Jenkins is Consolata Boyle, a BAFTA award winner probably best known for her work on The Queen (2006), The Iron Lady (2011), and more recently Philomena (2013) – and yes there…

A look at late Margaret Thatcher’s colour specific wardrobe as represented in the film The Iron Lady.

Clothes on Film were granted a private tour of world-renowned Angels the costumiers.

More clip than teaser trailer, but Meryl Streep certainly does look the part.
