"Carol" and "Cinderella" offer a fascinating study in contrast for costume designer Sandy Powell. While the wardrobes for Oscar-nominated Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara convey the conservative vibe at the dawn of the Eisenhower era in 1952, Lily James' strong-willed fairy tale fave dons an unconventional blue gown for the royal ball and gets extra sparkle in her slipper. "There was a real restraint to the look of ['Carol'] but then that also really echoes the period and the repression," Powell explained.
