The stage musical Moulin Rouge! has won multiple awards, including the Tony Award for Best New Musical in 2021 and the Olivier Award for Best Costume Design in 2022. The show is adapted from Baz Luhrmann’s Academy Award winning 2001 film. This costume, designed by Catherine Zuber, encapsulates the flamboyancy of the production’s design, taking inspiration from turn-of -the-century artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec. It is worn by the lead character Satine, who descends into the auditorium on a trapeze to sing the medley 'Sparkling Diamonds' before a quick change into another costume underneath.
