Jenny Beavan
Michael Berkeley's guest is the Academy Award-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan.
The costume designer Jenny Beavan has won three Academy Awards for three very different films: the elegant Merchant Ivory drama Room with a View; the post-apocalyptic Mad Max: Fury Road; and most recently the Disney film Cruella, for which she created a huge, vibrant parade of 1970s-inspired fashion.
She鈥檚 received a further nine Oscar nominations across her 40 year career. She found just the right top hat for Colin Firth in the King鈥檚 Speech and ditched the deerstalker in favour of a bowler for Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes. And despite claiming she has 鈥渘ever been interested in fashion鈥�, she re-created striking Dior outfits for Mrs Harris Goes to Paris.
Jenny's music choices include Handel, Mendelssohn, Sondheim and - with a nod to the film the King's Speech - Beethoven.
