In 1933, Katharine Hepburn took on her first starring role in Christopher Strong — and gave us one of cinema’s most extraordinary costumes.

At a party, Hepburn’s Lady Cynthia Darrington appears in a shimmering metallic moth costume, its silver fabric and long antennae radiating through the black and white screen. Like a moth to a flame, she draws in Sir Christopher Strong, a married politician she falls into a doomed romance with.

For Halloween embrace entomological elegance, cinematic glamour, and a touch of the fantastical.
