Barely There Costumes, Round II

 

King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) 300 (2007)

When going to war, the first thing on most folk’s minds would be; how do I not die? The answer is probably armour of some kind. Not Leonidas and his Spartans, they’ve got other ideas. Totally opposite ideas in fact.

Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood) The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

When talking about The Rocky Horror Picture Show, most folks think about Frank N Furter, or the Meat Loaf cameo. But the most fashionable man in the film is clearly Rocky Horror in his gold hotpants. Just ask Kylie...
