What Dune's out-of-this-world costumes reveal about its characters

To depict the nobility of House Atreides, Morgan and fellow costume designer Jacqueline West used a historical royal family as a reference point.

"We looked at paintings of the Romanovs, the richness of that era of the Russian tsar, and that helped build this very rich, dense world," Morgan says. "[Director Denis Villeneuve] loved it, loved the direction we took that in, because we did set it so far from Arrakis."
