Throughout her four-decade career, costume designer Ellen Mirojnick has been lauded for transporting viewers across time and place, from the metaphor-heavy suiting of Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer” to the elaborate period pomp of Emmy-winning “Bridgerton.”

Her work on the 1995 cult classic “Showgirls,” however, often elicits a very different response: Did it even have costumes? The lead character, after all, spends much of the movie in various stages of undress.

“I’ve always found it funny that people think, ‘Oh you did ‘Showgirls,’ that wasn’t very much (work),’” said Mirojnick. “Actually it was quite a lot. That film is chock full of costumes!”
