The ensemble consisting of a black blouse, black short pants, and a black waistcoat—the look famously worn by Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace in the cult film Pulp Fiction—has achieved status as one of the most iconic cinematic styles of the 1990s. More than three decades after the movie’s initial release, the original costume pieces are scheduled to go up for auction. Propstore, a prominent auction house specializing in cinematic memorabilia, confirmed that the highly sought-after costume will be offered on August 26 in Los Angeles.
The design was originally conceived by Betsy Heimann, who drew inspiration directly from Quentin Tarantino’s screenplay. While the foundational elements were established for the film, the final aesthetic incorporated input from Thurman herself. Notably, the costume creators opted not to alter the actress’s original short pants, resulting in a unique and defining characteristic of the overall look.
Propstora representative Maegen Hensley commented that the outfit represents “the epitome of the 1990s – simple, unusual and fun.” The combination of pieces solidified its place in pop culture history, making this particular costume a significant piece of cinematic history. Collectors and enthusiasts anticipate strong bidding for this one piece, recognizing its deep connection to the enduring legacy of the movie. The auction promises to be a major event for memorabilia collectors interested in the history of modern filmmaking.
