Costumes of and thoughts and studies on the ‘Chronicles of Riddick’ Note: This is a work in progress. Almost all images I wanted to have here *are* already here, but some of the costume descriptions are still missing my descriptions, which I will have to copy to the appropriate places. This takes some time… as [...]
Riddick Costumes
Imam
The Imam is wearing a knee length, striped red tunic, a floor length brown vest (fine linen or rough cotton) with sari trims at the front edges, sand-colored pants and a burgundy scarf decorated with a metal belt. His cap seems to be made of cut leather. This is the same original outfit, as offered [...]
Aereon
Aereon’s dress is described in the ‘Riddick insider’ as being made from ‘crushed Swarowsky (not *my* typo – sic!) crystal’. I will prove in this costume study that this description is wrong as it can be. First, as you can perfectly see here, we have at least two layers in the costume: First, an underdress, [...]
Crematoria Various
Interesting enough, the prisoners of Crematoria – save Riddick and Kyra – all seem to wear the same basic clothes: A grayish suit with orange stripes. The shirt of said suit is front-closing, the front opening being bordered with said stripes. Additionally, there are Cyrillic letters printed to the right front of the shirts. The [...]
Dame Vaako
Light I have no idea if this is one or two dresses, but it’s shown with different accessories in the movie. First, it’s worn with a ‘smaller’ necklace and a belt… and then it’s worn with a wider necklace, without the belt. The seams seem to be pretty much in the same places on those [...]
Helion Various
Various Helion Prime costumes Lajjun and Ziza; Lajjun’s bathrobe and Ziza’s nightgown: The bathrobe seems to be made from doubled, gold stripe woven organza. Note the enormous stuffed collar on this one. Lajjun is wearing another sleeveless shirt under this robe. Ziza’s nightgown is made from a patterned cotton, I guess; and as you can [...]
Kyra
Kyra Crematoria Costume This basic outfit consists of 5 items: First, an olive ribbed tank top; Second, front-zip dark olive-greyish trousers which sport a non-covered zipper at the front and strapped pockets at the back; Third, brown strapped leather gauntlets which are pointed towards the fingers Fourth, the boots that can spike out blades at [...]
Lord Marshal
Ceremonial Armor This is the original outfit, as offered by the Propstore of London: Non-ceremonial armor This is the original outfit, as offered by the Propstore of London: This is the stunt headcover, as offered by the Propstore of London:
Vaako
Commander Armor: This is the original “Vaako reveal” commander helmet, as offered by the Propstore of London: “First commander” armor: Vaako’s black suit:
Mercs
The Mercs don’t wear uniform clothing. Each of them is dressed in a different way; and it’s not easy to describe any of them in full. As those outfits can probably be called some of the least interesting in the movie, I’ll skip them… for now. If you should need further information on any of [...]
