Sandy Powell

In 1997, Powell earned a second Oscar nod for her Edwardian designs, full of deep blues and greens, for "The Wings of the Dove." 1998 proved her breakout year, though. Powell created the fantastic clothing that captured the glitz of the glam rock era in "Velvet Goldmine," crafted meticulous Elizabethan costumes for "Shakespeare in Love" (both of which earned her Oscar nominations) and recreated a more contemporary look for the biopic "Hilary and Jackie." Powell's stellar resume was expanded with her work on "Felicia's Journey," "Miss Julie" and "The End of the Affiar" (all 1999), "Sylvia" (2003) and particularly with her sumptuous 1950s recreations for "Far From Heaven" (2002). Her collaborations with Martin Scorsese proved particularly fruitful: her costumes for the 19th Century epic "Gangs of New York" (2002) earned her a fourth Oscar nomination, and she took home the Academy's trophy for Best Achievement in Costume Design for her glamorous recreation of fashions from Hollywood's Golden Age in "The Aviator" (2004). Powell continued her fruitful collaboration with Scorsese on the Boston crime drama "The Departed" (2006), psychological thriller "Shutter Island" (2010), 3D fable "Hugo" (2011) and sardonic biopic "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013). She also received Academy Award nominations for "Mrs. Henderson Presents" (2005) and "The Tempest" (2010), winning for "The Young Victoria" (2009). She also collaborated with director Kenneth Branagh on the fairy tale "Cinderella" (2015).
