...costume designer Sandy Powell, who conceived a wardrobe of fluid ensembles for the youthful monarch played by Eric Bana. For the ambitious Boleyn sisters, Powell designed jewel-toned gowns with tight bodices and hoopskirts. The gowns become increasingly extravagant as the sisters' position rises. Johansson must have fancied the strict silhouette: she's reportedly playing Mary, Queen of Scots in another film...
