Sci-fi and fantasy costumes at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas...

Earlier this year on my first visit to Las Vegas on April 7, I popped into the Planet Hollywood Cafe and snapped this eclectic assortment of movie costumes from the world of science fiction and fantasy.

Private Frost Space Marines armour from Aliens

In the 1986 Alien sequel, Aliens, Ricco Ross played one of the Marine troopers sent to LV-426 aboard the 'Sulaco' spaceship. 'Private Frost' was killed investigating the alien hive under the colony's nuclear reactor and this armour he wore didn't protect him from the flamethrower that accidentally killed him.

From one alien to another and this outfit featured in Predator 2. In the 1990 sequel to the Arnold Schwarzenegger original, the alien hunter stalks the futuristic streets of L.A., rather than the jungles of Central America.

Costume worn by Danny Glover as
Lt. Mike Harrigan in Predator 2

Danny Glover starred as an L.A.P.D. cop, 'Lieutenant Mike Harrigan', hunted on the gang-ridden streets of Los Angeles whilst sporting this look.

From futuristic aliens to supernatural creatures and this rather unique example of knitwear.

Sweater worn by Kristy Swanson in Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Before Sarah Michelle Gellar immortalised 'Buffy Summers' on TV, Kristy Swanson played 'Buffy' in the 1992 big screen version, which saw her star alongside Luke Perry and Donald Sutherland as a teenage girl who discovers it's her destiny to slay vampires.

Finally, here's the costume worn by Ursula Andress as the Greek goddess of love, beauty, prosperity and procreation, 'Aphrodite', in 1981's mythical Clash of the Titans.

This wonderful example of Grecian drapery helped transform the actress into her Olympian deity in the movie which told the tale of 'Perseus' and his battles against the legendary 'Medusa' and the 'Kraken'.
