Who won the Oscar for costume design for Bram Stoker's Dracula?

Eiko Ishioka won the Oscar for costume design for Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Ishioka received the Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 65th Academy Awards, honoring Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 film. Her costumes helped turn the movie’s gothic world into something visually theatrical, combining historical references with bold, unconventional silhouettes and textures.

The film’s clothing is especially memorable for its visual storytelling. Dracula’s changing costumes suggest different identities and eras, while the elaborate designs for Mina and the other characters reinforce the movie’s themes of desire, transformation, and obsession.

The award is sometimes confused with Oscars for the film’s other craft departments. Bram Stoker’s Dracula also won Academy Awards for makeup and sound editing, while its art-direction team received a separate award. Ishioka’s win was specifically for costume design, not production design or makeup.
