Costumes in the film are: Fashionable and stylish young designer outfits
The outfits in the film are trendy celebrity clothing and as the plot of the film surrounds celebrity possessions and attire, there is a lot of focus on the clothing that is worn by the characters in The Bling Ring. There is a change in the appearance of the characters from when we see them in the beginning of the film to when they start stealing. After they hold the possessions of the celebrities, they look more glamorous and this reflects on their attitude as well. This is fairly noticeable from the way they walk and hold themselves. They seem more confident and bold as opposed to how they were at the start.
