Costumes from Harry Styles’s new film My Policeman are to be displayed in a museum as part of a pop-up exhibition.
The costumes, worn by Styles and co-star Emma Corrin in the film, will be on show at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery for two weeks.
Styles’s policeman costume as well as Corrin’s wedding dress will feature as part of the event exploring the history behind the film, which was set and shot in Brighton.
Martin Pel, textile and costumes curator at Brighton and Hove Museums, said: “It’s fabulous to have these costumes on display for everyone to see. They are beautiful outfits, authentic for the time with great attention to detail. We’re grateful to Prime Video for sharing them with us.“
My Policeman explores a love triangle between Styles’s character Tom, Corrin’s character Marion, and Patrick, an art curator at Brighton Museum played by David Dawson.
The film is based on Bethan Roberts’s novel of the same name which delves into themes of forbidden love and changing social conventions during the 1950s.
A number of scenes were shot on location at Brighton Palace Pier as well as in Madeira Drive and in Hove in 2021.
A statement from Brighton and Hove Museums said that the costumes feature in a display that “showcases the history of dress and the unique, rebellious spirit of Brighton & Hove”.
The collection includes clothing from a number of sub-cultures including mods and rockers as well as goths and hippies.
Brighton and Hove Museums has also created a special display focusing on Queer Looks developed by a Young Project Team to celebrate the stories of LGBTQ+ individuals in the Greater Brighton area. The exhibition looks at the way clothing can express an individual identity.
Visitors to the museum can also see the Queer the Pier gallery, a community curated display on local LGBTIQA+ history which incorporates film, photography and drag to tell the stories of artists and writers.
The My Policeman Exhibition opens on Tuesday, November 15 and will be open for two weeks.
My Policeman is now available to watch on Prime Video.
