The costumes that will be available include the following: -- A tailored black and white top and column skirt finished with a large, dramatic spotted cape (with a "Zebra" lining.) The ensemble is Powell's take on Cruella's "spotted" yet spotless alter ego, the deceptively reformed "Ella." "The secret of the black and white spotted outfit is that the inside of the cape is supposed to look like real fur, but in fact, it's fake," says Powell. -- A one-of-a-kind coat made entirely from recycled materials. This is the coat that Close -- as the reformed "Ella" -- wears when she visits the Second Chance dog rescue home for the first time. -- An original black and white faux fur 3/4-length checkerboard coat designed and dreamed up by Powell exclusively for a fashion show scene. -- A one-of-a-kind "tiger" gown that is covered with blended light topaz, aurum and jet black "jewels" and sequins. The gown's neckline and hemline are festooned with a blend of black marabou, pheasant and gold Millard "feathers." Matching gloves complete the dress. Powell received his first Academy Award(R) in 1972 for his work in "Travels with My Aunt." That was followed in 1978 for his work on "Death on the Nile Death on the Nile is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in November 1937 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence. " and in 1981 with "Tess."
