Uma Thurman's 'Pulp Fiction' Costume Heads to Auction
On August 26, Propstore will auction Uma Thurman's memorable outfit from Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film 'Pulp Fiction' at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. This ensemble, featuring a white button-up shirt and Agnès B kick-flare pants, is anticipated to sell for between $15,000 and $30,000. A crew member who retained the costume after filming has consigned it. Maegen Hensley, Propstore's director of asset management, verified its authenticity due to specific modifications, such as an elastic band inside. Costume designer Betsy Heimann noted that the pants were initially too short for Thurman, who favored the style, leading Heimann to shorten them further, complemented by gold Chanel pumps. The costume captures the essence of 1990s fashion and Mia Wallace's character, influenced by 'Reservoir Dogs.'
