The style-obsessed world of the popular YA novel "The Hunger Games" was brought to life on screen by costume designer Judianna Makovsky, with a cast of hundreds dressed in everything from utilitarian garb with Depression-era grit to glam-gone-grotesque get-ups inspired by the latest haute couture. The character Effie, one part Marie Antoinette and one part Isabella Blow, could barely walk in her shoes -- which was intentional. "She is a fashion victim," Makovsky said. The studio launched a website, Capitol
Couture.com, dedicated to fashion inspired by the film, and collaborated with China Glaze on a range of nail polish colors. (March)
