In recreated scenes, guests will get a glimpse into the intricate vision created by production designer Nelson Coates and set decorator Andrew Basemen with a visually stunning exhibit showcasing eight flawless costumes along with authentic props from some of the film's most memorable scenes. Fans can immerse themselves into Peik Lin's (Awkwafina) closet and get a personal look at the Missoni gown worn by Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) and the pant ensemble that Peik Lin wore to Nick Young's (Henry Golding) cocktail party. The exhibit will also feature the dresses worn by Nick's mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh), grandmother, Ah Ma (Lisa Lu), the wedding dress worn by Araminta Lee (Sonoya Mizuno) and more, enticing guests to fall in love all over again with the dreamy Singapore wedding scene.

In the Studio's most recent release, A Star is Born, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga provide a new take on the iconic love story as they fuse their considerable talents to depict the raw, passionate tale of artists Jack and Ally. WBSTH has recreated the memorable moments and scenes that brought the beauty and heartbreak of their romance to life with the film's authentic gowns and costumes, including those from the unforgettable scene at The Grammy Awards and Ally's performance at The Shrine, handwritten lyrics from "I'll Never Love Again," the bedazzled guitar from The Bleu Bleu club, and other memorable props. Guests will now have the chance to step behind the scenes and discover a Hollywood classic in the making with Cooper's directorial debut and music superstar Gaga in her first leading role in a feature film.
