These Unbelievable Wardrobe Fails Ended up on the Big Screen and Nobody Noticed

The Color Purple (1985)

The Color Purple follows several African American women living in the south during the 1900s. As moving as the film might be, it also features Danny Glover sporting a clip-on tie—an accessory that wasn't invented until 16 years after the film takes place.

Seabiscuit (2003)

Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges, and Chris Cooper join forces to care for an undersized, temperamental racehorse named Seabiscuit in this 2003 sports drama. Maguire plays the jockey, Red Pollard, but his jockey gear is ahead of its time. The chinstrap helmet wasn't invented until 1956 when the movie takes place in 1938.
