Prosthetic mask and creature maquette from Hellboy II: The Golden Army..

Ron Perlman was the man behind the titular red demon mask in both 2004's Hellboy and the 2008 sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

These are photographs of the actual facial prothetic that he (and various stunt men) wore to become 'Hellboy' in the second movie, along with a fantastic maquette of an elemental forest god featured in the movie.

Renee Zellweger's gold Bridget Jones dinner gown...

In 2001 Renee Zellweger hilariously starred as the neurotic titular British character from Helen Fielding's bestselling novel, Bridget Jones's Diary. In 2004 she returned for its sequel, The Edge of Reason, alongside co-stars Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.

On display at Universal Studios Hollywood on February 11, 2010 was this gold dress from the sequel.
