Lindsay Pugh: Morpheus in the original was very smart, very formal, and definitely an authority figure. I wanted to keep that, but very much update it. The actors between the two movies are very different, and I wanted to have some really strong colour, just to make an obvious change between the old and the new Morpheus. There is a really fabulous design house in New York called Sies Marjan – they were the reference for all of Yahya’s costumes, which we made in-house. Also Yahya just wears clothing so terrifically and enjoys it, it was really good fun making and tailoring for him.

Sometimes you don’t even really need a costume, but instead, just some bald Halloween makeup will do. Morpheus was one of the few exceptions to this and was the member of the Oneiroi given the most individualization. This is because he possessed a particular skill that, when used correctly, could be valuable to the gods. The Gates of Horn and Ivory When Alcyone awoke from her dream, she was so overcome with grief that she threw herself into the sea. The gods, however, took pity on the couple and turned both Alcyone and Ceyx into kingfishers.To make sure that sense of gender came across in the visuals, “I did a lot of work on all the characters right at the beginning, before we started shooting,”

If you want to go for a famous character from scary movies, TV, or film, there are plenty of fantastic costumes for bald people that are really cheap and easy, and make the most of your pre-existing bald head. I think it’s very, very important for actors to have their say [in the look and feel of their costumes]”, Arthur says. “A lot of actors build their characters through their costumes, so it’s a really important part of the process [to] sit down, talk, and come up with ideas.” The two contrasting-color costumes for Lucifer were created by Christie’s partner, fashion designer Giles Deacon. “He’s an incredible costume designer,” says Arthur. Their father was Hypnos, the personified spirit of sleep. Hypnos’s mother was Nyx, the primordial goddess of the night, and his brother was Thanatos, the personification of death.

This account of the dream of Alcyone is the only mention of Morpheus in the ancient sources. As such, it is unclear whether he and his named brothers were already known or if their identities were invented by Ovid. While some elements of the original mythology remained, the character’s evolution did not end with the decline of paganism. From one of a thousand nameless spirits, a single story in Ovid’s epic work had led to Morpheus being reimagined as the creator of all dreams. The Sandman

If you’re not already bald then makeup and a bald cap can look completely convincing too. In fact, why not go to a party as one of your bald friends? If they’ve got a good sense of humor then they’ll love it!

Lindsay Pugh: Well, it's two ways, right? You have to play into that – the original Matrix was very much a film of its time, and this one has to, hopefully, be a film of this time. It just so happens that these two fashion moments are similar and this fashion moment is built off when the original Matrix came out. It was good to blend both of those ideas together, although fashions do revolve; they change slightly, update slightly and alter slightly, it evolves. So what was interesting was taking the idea of the mood, some of the silhouettes from the first movie, and evolving them in the way that fashion has evolved. Lindsay Pugh: What I wanted to do with Neo was gently bring him through this movie, to the payoff at the end – at some point the audience wants that payoff, to be in the position they were in watching the first Matrix with these iconic silhouettes. So you have those flowing coats and get that same movement with air through the costume, you get that visual. That was a long planned and hopefully successful way to do that. I also wanted there to be equality between Neo and Trinity, so they both had to be equal in whatever that coat means for everybody. It was important those two characters have equal strength at the end. Of course, Shaq isn’t the only basketball star you could choose. Here’s a list of bald NBA players to inspire your costume.
