What We Wore Goes to the Movies: Bram Stoker's Dracula
August 23 through mid-December 2025
The current What We Wore display presents costumes from the 1992 film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, produced and directed by award-winning Francis Ford Coppola. Dracula — a Transylvanian nobleman turned vampire — is the title character of Stoker's 1897 gothic novel. Eiko Ishioka's inventive re-envisioning of the costumes for the film earned her an Academy Award for Best Costume Design.
"Meet" characters from Coppola's movie through this close-up look at their costumes: R.M. Renfield, Dracula's deranged, fanatically devoted servant; Elisabeta, Dracula's beloved wife from his pre-vampire days; and the fabled vampire himself — "undead" for several centuries, he drinks blood from live victims to maintain his vitality.
Plus, don't miss Francis Ford at The Henry Ford, an exclusive cinematic series at Giant Screen Experience featuring groundbreaking films like Bram Stoker's Dracula directed by Francis Ford Coppola, one of the most critically acclaimed and influential filmmakers of our time.
