Wasp – Ant-Man and the Wasp
Marvel can’t seem to get it right, can they? This costume design mishap was worn in the Marvel blockbuster, “Ant-Man and the Wasp.” Wasp’s costume in the film was less colorful and bright than originally drawn by Jack Kirby.
The designers explained that functionality won out over appearance. The actress tried on over 30 different modifications of the costume, but in the end, the filmmakers ended up going with the one that moved best and allowed her to breathe.
Jane - Tarzan and His Mate
The 1934 release of "Tarzan and His Mate" brought quite a bit of controversy with it. It wasn't Tarzan's costume that sparked controversy, which was surprising because he was swinging through the jungle with practically nothing covering himself. Of course, it was Jane's costume that was under scrutiny.
Maureen O’Sullivan wore a very revealing top and skirt. It turns out; this was the less revealing of the two costumes suggested. In fact, the original costume had O'Sullivan completely naked with well-placed props to cover her privates.
The Creature - The Shape of Water
"The Shape of Water" won the Academy Award for best film, and it's obvious why. Everything about the film was outstanding, with one exception - the creature's suit.
The "dreamy" Amphibian Man's costume was ridiculous, to say the least! Guillermo del Toro, the film's director, explained that the creature's suit was an attempt to create an amphibian version of Michelangelo's David. To most, this was an attempt that didn't translate on-screen.
Fat Amy - Pitch Perfect 3
The cast of "Pitch Perfect" managed to capture fans' hearts with their upbeat musical trilogy. But, when Rebel Wilson published images of her and her castmates, controversy emerged.
The costume worn on her castmates was far less revealing on Wilson, which led many to feel that it was a form of body discrimination, as Wilson was the curviest of the crew. The film's costume designer spoke up, explaining that there were two costumes, and each actress was given the choice of which one they wanted to wear.
Emma Frost - X-Men: First Class
There's something about the "X-Men" movies' costume designers — they just can't seem to get it right. This costume blunder was Emma Frost's, played by January Jones. Jones wore some revealing outfits, including low-cut tops and lingerie.
One of the writers explained that there were many scenes cut that would have explained this aspect of the film, though they were cut from the film.
