The aim of this article is to analyse some of the costumes in director Josie Rourke's film Mary Queen of Scots, designed by costume designer Alexandra Byrne. The aim is to investigate their reconfiguration in cinema from the perspective of contemporary raw materials in a period film of the biopic genre. As a juxtaposition between the costumes of two different characters, it also seeks to briefly present some Tudor portrait paintings and extract meanings about the process of creating the costumes based on reinterpretations that promote a change in their textile materiality, conferring authenticity, as well as verifying the cultural leaps that can exist between them, in the representation of the power relations expressed in the plot.
