Oscar®-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming ("Topsy-Turvy"), who also designed the costumes for the first "Tomb Raider," returns to the challenge of costuming Lara Croft and the rest of the cast in "The Cradle of Life."
"Angelina has a wonderful body, so you don't need to work too hard to make her look fabulous," says Hemming, adding that she continued to create the "no clutter" look for Lara that both Angelina and she favored in the first film. "Everything was kept simple, refined and modern."
One of the iconic Lara Croft costumes that Hemming created for the film is a form-fitting silver wetsuit. A total of eight suits were made, featuring fabric from Japan and China, but because the Japanese fabric worked best underwater, the suit featured in the film is created from that material. In addition, Hemming, who is responsible for the orange bikini worn by Halle Berry in "Die Another Day," designed the black bikini (made by La Perla) that Angelina wears at the beginning of the film.
Another unique costume worn by Jolie is a customized sandy cream and pinkish beige Korean tour of duty jacket with a fantastic tiger embroidered on the back. The actress' trousers are a Melanie Apple design from the first film, and her boots, also brought back from the original "Tomb Raider," are back, this time in antique tan. She wears the outfit while astride a customized motorcycle, built by Kirk M. Petruccelli, who changed all the metalwork to bronze to match her guns.
A stunning signature leather coat worn over fawn jodhpurs, a white voile blouse and a safari outfit (for the sequence in Africa) add to Lara Croft's wardrobe. "The one item that fails to make it into the mix is a dress!" laughs Hemming. "Even when Lara steals some clothes in Taipei, it's a blue Chinese trouser and jacket combo."
