*I can hear all of you crying "This is Asta Nielsen/Sarah Bernhardt/Kenneth Branagh erasure!" and this is my time to state that they would not have been admissible to the tournament proper and that is why they are not included here. To be admissible for this poll and the larger tournament the hamlet in question must be a male character in a -- and I cannot stress this enough -- medieval period-set film or television adaptation/broadcast.

Anything Goes December
Hamlet / Glenn Close as Queen Gertrude
This is actually my favorite of Gertrude's costumes from this movie, but I could never figure out where to put it. It seemed to have too much blue to fit in the month of white and too much white to fit in the month of blue (so I posted her other blue gown), and the other colors weren't quite prominent enough to put it in multicolored August. And so, that's what "Anything Goes December" is for!
The embroidery in this outfit just makes me drool--on the sleeves, on the belt, and on whatever you call this cape/coat garment. I'm fascinated to see that the color is actually much lighter than it looks onscreen. The effect is regal and jewel-like, almost like something from an illuminated manuscript or stained glass window.
