The first costume on the left is:
a green evening gown
as worn by Corinna Harfouch in her role as Cora Dulz in The Devil and Ms. D (Germany 1988/99), directed by Bernd Eichinger.
This floor-length corsage evening gown is made of emerald green silk duchesse. Feathers of the same emerald green, about 20 cm in length, rise upwards from a band around the empire waist, covering the corsage bodice and protruding slightly over the décolleté. Inserted wedge-shaped pieces of fabric known as godets add folds and create a slight mermaid flare at the bottom of the tight-fitting skirt. A short, rounded train completes the garment.
In the film, Cora Dulz accessorizes the dress with long silk duchesse evening gloves in a slightly darker emerald green that reach above the elbow.

To the right of this costume is:
a gold-pleated dress
as worn by Nina Hoss in her role as Rosemary in A Girl Called Rosemary (Germany 1996), directed by Bernd Eichinger.
This close-fitting halter-neck dress made of pleated gold lamé is structured around a corsage. The plunging V-neck reaches down to the waist. The underskirt forms a small train at the back. At the base of the deep neckline is a small knot adorned with a golden brooch. From this point, the pleats of the skirt radiate outwards.
In the film, Rosemary accessorizes the dress with gold, ankle-strap spike heel pumps.

The first costume on the left is:
a Chanel skirt suit
as worn by Jessica Schwarz in her role as Romy.
This is a light-colored, two-piece skirt suit in Chanel style. The outfit includes a smocked neck-tie blouse of pink silk together with a jacket and skirt made of bouclé wool. The light blue-and-pink checkered material appears slightly ribbed. The jacket is box-shaped, collarless, hip-length, and features three golden buttons down the front. The shoulders are slightly padded. The high-set, narrow sleeves end in cuffs. There is one pocket placed at hip height on the right side of the jacket and two pockets on the left – one above the other. Each pocket is adorned with a golden button and features a decorative pink and dark blue trim around the opening, beneath which is a braided appliqué made of the light blue-pink wool. This decorative trim and braided appliqué also border the rest of the jacket and cuffs. The skirt is knee-length and has a slight flare. Both garments are lined with pink silk.
The outfit includes a pillbox hat and a multi-strand Chanel white pearl necklace.

The costume on the far right is:
a black dress.
On another occasion, Romy wears a black figure-hugging evening dress made of crêpe marocain that fastens at the back of the neck and features a large diamond-shaped cutout in the back. The dress is embroidered with a light grey diamond pattern on black ribbon, which is bordered by two rows of light grey bugle beads. This ribbon runs around the cutout, the collar and the front of the dress – where it also forms the shape of a diamond. The narrow sleeves extend to the wrists. At the side of the wrist are three small convex buttons in black. The tight, ankle-length skirt of the evening dress has a godet panel sewn into the center back, which extends into a short train.
