Ellen Mirojnick, straight outta New York City, is one of those costume designers you don’t really forget, even if you don’t know her name off the top of your head. She’s got that kind of filmography that just sneaks up on you—like, bam, Oppenheimer (2023), then Bridgerton (2020), and oh yeah, The Greatest Showman (2017) too. If you’ve ever watched any of those and thought, “Wow, these costumes are actually insane,” yeah, that’s her magic. She brings that lush, detailed, sometimes jaw-dropping vibe to whatever she touches, whether it's bombastic circus glitz or brooding post-war genius. It’s not just movies, either—her work in TV, especially with Bridgerton, really kinda changed the game. Suddenly everyone’s obsessed with regencycore and pearl-embellished everything. Ellen just has this way of making clothes tell the story before the actors even say a word. And she’s not all behind-the-scenes, either; she’s popped up as an actress now and then, because why not? She was married to Barry R. Mirojnick—so, yes, there’s a little personal trivia for you. But really, it’s her wild creativity and fearless approach to bold colors, textures, and silhouettes that keep her at the top of her game. If you’ve ever fallen in love with a movie just because it looked so damn cool, chances are you’ve already seen Ellen’s work in action.
So, here's a bit of fun movie trivia: there’s this costume designer who’s basically the go-to for films with Michael Douglas in them. You see his name pop up in the credits more than you’d expect, always behind the scenes making sure Douglas looks sharp, or, you know, whatever the role calls for—sleazy 80s stockbroker, frazzled suburban dad, unhinged thriller villain. The guy’s got range, and so does the costume designer, clearly. Think about how many iconic looks Douglas has rocked over the years—Gordon Gekko’s slick suits, the disheveled everyman in “Falling Down,” those ridiculous outfits in “Romancing the Stone.” It’s not just about the clothes, though; it’s about helping Douglas slip into each character, whether he’s playing a Wall Street shark or a guy losing it on a hot L.A. day. Basically, if Michael Douglas is starring, you can bet this designer’s work is front and center.
