This past Sunday Paul Tazewell was awarded the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for the beautiful and magical costumes he helped to conjure for the film adaptation of the broadway musical Wicked. This is Paul's first Oscar win after previously being nominated for the same award for his costumes for Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. Join Paul as he speaks with InStyle and breaks down his vision for the outfits for all of the main characters in this enthralling peek behind the curtain (but pay no attention to the man behind it).
The movie musical event of the year is almost here, as the film based on the hit broadway musical Wicked makes its debut next month. Sure to be filled with amazing costumes of its own, we're going to step back in time and show you how some of the costumes were made for the musical itself. See what happens when a new actor takes over a part and a brand new costume needs to be created.
