Whitney Houston "Rachel Marron" "Queen of the Night" costume from The Bodyguard....

Description

Whitney Houston "Rachel Marron" "Queen of the Night" costume from The Bodyguard. (Warner Bros., 1992) Original (5) pieces from the most iconic costume in this classic romantic action film. Including (1) vacuum formed chrome surfaced bodice piece, (1) vacuum formed chrome surfaced helmet, (1) long pleated silver skirt, (1) some yards and sections of pleated and corrugated silver lamé fabric and (1) pair of thigh-high gunmetal silver boots. The complex costume incorporates expert armorer Chris Gilman (of Global Effects) created armor components. Gilman handed Nininger's design to his colleague, noted production designer Patrick Tatopolous, to refine the costume sketch to a practical workable costume. This costume was utilized in the making of both the screen-seen video and slightly modified to be worn on stage during the "Queen of the Night" concert sequence. Whitney also wore this costume when Kevin Costner's character holds her (sans chest armor) in his arms following this incident-the very image used for The Bodyguard movie poster. Exhibiting minor production wear. In very good to fine condition.
