Day of the Locust: John Schlesinger’s 1975 adaptation of Nathanael West’s novel. One of the most disturbing movies I’ve ever seen in my life, and also one of the most interesting.

So how could she really go wrong with the costumes? Disco-inspired silver screen style, after all.
Here are some of my favorites:
