How are everyone's clothes and makeup designed in Titanic?

The production team strives to ensure that the costumes of the actors are suitable for that era, and the modeling and makeup team needs modeling 1000 actors, including extras.

Deborah L. Scott, a fashion designer, said, "It was an era of etiquette. "Rich people may have to change their looks four or five times a day. Their clothes must be carefully made. Private maids and footmen are absolutely necessary. Their clothes are very beautiful and exquisite. Although they still wear corsets, Victorian clothes have disappeared. The new era is leaner and younger. "

Tina Earnshaw, the chief makeup artist, said, "There was no makeup in Victorian era, but the elites in Edwardian era paid great attention to dressing up. Although the makeup will be very delicate, it will be beautiful to put on a little powder, draw a little eyeliner around the eyes and add a little rouge to the plum lipstick. " In the movie Titanic, when the ship sinks and the passengers are in extreme cold, the makeup will definitely change. Tina Earnshaw specially consulted a doctor and studied the reaction of human skin at low temperature. He knew that people's tears would freeze and their hair would break when it was cold. There is also a picture of Jack and Ruth in the ice water that we saw later in the movie. Their faces turned purple and their hair was frozen. Hair stylist Simon Thompson bought 450 wigs for Titanic. "Huge hats are popular at this time, and hairstyles always look young. When Ruth was in the rebellious period, her hair was elegant, and all men's hair should be washed and combed beautifully. In fact, there are barbershops and bathhouses on the Titanic. " In addition, he also found an exquisite turtle-shaped hair comb in his research, which played an important role in Titanic, that is, the one that inspired Ruth's memories. Thompson said that he took this comb and sent it to a jewelry store specializing in copying historical relics for customization.

The production team also specially trained the actors' manners to conform to the real situation in the Edwardian era, and dialect coach Susan Hegarty also conducted language training for the actors, including those extras. Kate Winslet, who was born in England, did further research. "I must know more about the lifestyle in Philadelphia at that time. Of course, I can speak a perfect American accent, but the Philadelphia accent sounds very British. I am afraid that if I am right, others will think that my British accent has not been corrected, so I have to emphasize the pronunciation of some sentences through a lot of practice. "

After the accent and costumes were in place, the crew also invited choreographer and etiquette coach Lynn Huo Nicole to ensure that the actors' performances conformed to the behaviors and customs of that period. Huo Nicole said: "In the era of Edward VII, there were hundreds of etiquette manuals. "Especially in the upper class, it was a suffocating era, and there were strict rules to follow from their clothes, body language and conversation." For Kate Winslet, receiving the training of Huo Nicole in London is almost the easiest part of the preparation for filming Titanic, but for Leonardo, everything is more interesting. "You have to accept that this is a different era. At that time, people danced differently from modern people, which was a challenge for me. I also joked with friends around me that I danced a short dance in the movie, and then I danced the whole dance in the room. However, Leonardo felt that etiquette training was contradictory to his role Jack, because Jack represented a freer spirit and was not bound by etiquette at that time. However, Leonardo studied the details of contemporary gentleman manners, such as holding a fork, and found a proper balance between realism and modern manners in actual performances.
