17 Times Iconic Costumes Were Spotted in Multiple Movies or Series

Once filming wraps, the costumes usually become the property of the studio, unless they were rented. Sometimes, actors negotiate in advance to buy or keep certain pieces. Period clothing is often preserved with special care so it can be reused in future productions, while modern outfits are frequently borrowed and repurposed for other films and television series.
