FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION BEST PICTURE BEST COSTUME DESIGN Lindsay Pugh “Lindsay Pugh’s costumes are SUMPTUOUS”
Hedda’s evening dress evolved from the original black concept to a green gown with a tulle and lace overlay. The shift trades obvious drama for subtle camouflage—mirroring
Hedda’s quiet manipulations.
HHHH “BOLD AND STYLISH”
Designed for maximum impact, Eileen’s dress is an unflinching statement of power and femininity, meant to captivate Hedda and outshine her college competitor. The result is a slow-burn entrance that gathers power as the layers fall away.
“COSTUME DESIGNER LINDSAY PUGH HAS DONE INCREDIBLE WORK outfitting the film’s central female roles… her stroke of genius is putting Eileen not in some sort of mannish suit but in a bombshell dress that highlights her curves like a primal goddess”
Though it’s from Hedda’s wardrobe, Thea’s dress is deliberately the only patterned one. That choice tips her toward “a little more naïve,” visually and emotionally.
“INCREDIBLE COSTUME DESIGN”
“DAZZLING”
As Hedda moves through her domain, her red dress becomes a visual metaphor— its soft, sweeping skirt evokes the ease of privilege, while the tightly cinched waist speaks to the rigid expectations of her era and situation.
“‘HEDDA’ TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY. An ingenious update of Ibsen’s classic play transformed into new, ecstatic cinema.” “STUNNING”

A provocative reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play, HEDDA follows enigmatic newlywed Hedda (Tessa Thompson), who is outwardly composed but hiding a simmering discontent that threatens to explode when the brilliant and charismatic Eileen Lovborg (Nina Hoss) reenters her life. Over the course of a raucous party, the high and low of society endure the consequences of this dangerous and unknowable woman yearning for a past love. What ensues is a ruthless game of manipulation, where lust, jealousy, and betrayal collide. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta, HEDDA is a daring exploration of power, desire, and a woman’s refusal to be confined.
