Some Costumes Were Hard to Wear
The Fifth Element represents futuristic splendor, color, and couture. Even the beautifully designed clothes of the otherworldly opponents are even more astounding. However, that wasn’t always a good thing because it made wearing some of them extremely challenging.
Three persons needed twenty minutes to complete each of the Mondoshawans’ elaborate and intricate outfits. Furthermore, all but two of the Mondoshawan outfits were destroyed during production following filming. Special effects supervisor Nick Dudman now owns one of those surviving suits.
