Leeloo's (Milla Jovovich) costume from Luc Besson's sci-fi adventure The Fifth Element. Leeloo created her costume when she picked random garments from a selection of clothes at Father Vito Cornelius' (Ian Holm) home. She wore her signature costume throughout the latter half of the film as she and Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) attempted to recover the Mondoshawan elemental stones. Established fashion and costume designer Jean-Paul Gaultier was hired to produce more than 1,000 unique costumes for the production. Gaultier opted for a bright colour palette and non-traditional materials, such as rubber and plexiglass, to create fresh and innovative designs.

The custom-made costume comprises a white ribbed stretch knitted crop T-shirt; a pair of orange silicone braces; and a pair of light gold-coloured leggings featuring lines of black piping that form grid-like detailing on the front and back. A pair of black leather platform-heeled boots have been added to complete the display. The attire is presented on a custom-built display with a base featuring the Fifth Element title artwork in yellow. There are marks and signs of discolouration present on the top and the under crotch of the braces has a minor split. Dimensions (displayed): 37 cm x 49 cm x 168 cm (14½" x 19¼" x 66¼")
