Many of us grew up dreaming of wearing the gorgeous princess gowns, period dresses, or superhero suits we saw onscreen. Sometimes, however, the most beautiful outfit is also the most painful - and occasionally, an actor's costume can cause lasting injuries. Here are 21 times famous women had to wear painful costumes for a role: 1. In 2018, Emma Stone played Abigail in The Favourite, and it was her "first time ever really wearing a corset." She told Vogue, "I can confirm, it does shift your organs after a while. My body shape was different for like, I would say, about a month after The Favourite. Because it was extremely tight, it pulls you in. I've got a very big ribcage, so it's an intense thing to maneuver. My body was definitely not built for a corset. That's the gift that keeps on giving, 'cause now I can really hold my breath for a long time underwater, and I think it's because of the corset."

After about a month, my organs shifted because they have to. It was only temporary, but it was gross. The bottom half of my stomach, whatever, I'm not a doctor, whatever is in there, went down that way, and I guess just my ribs stayed up." Atsushi Nishijima / Fox Searchlight / Everett Collection 2. The mermaid tail prosthetic that Daryl Hannah wore to play Madison in Splash was "incredibly painful." It was so bad that she'd just stay in the tail in the water during lunch breaks. She told People that costars John Candy and Tom Hanks "would come by and drop little French fries in [her] mouth."

So, almost every day, my feet came out bloody and stuff." (C)Buena Vista Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 3. To play the titular role in Angelyne, Emmy Rossum had three-pound fake boobs glued to her chest, which gave her blisters. Additionally, the heavy eye makeup and contacts caused issues with her tear ducts. PEacock / Via youtube.com She told The Hollywood Reporter, "The physicality of the character was challenging. The body is heavy, yet it has to feel light and effervescent. But I just kept focusing on how lucky I felt. This opportunity is really every actor's dream. You raise your hand, and you say, 'Hey, I'd like to play this, and this is how I envision the story.'" Peacock / Via youtube.com 4. Simone Ashley experienced a lot of discomfort because of the corsets in her Bridgerton wardrobe. She told Glamour UK, "On my first day, I was like, 'OK, first day as a leading lady, got to eat lots of food, be really energized.' So, I had this massive portion of salmon, and that's when I needed to be sick, basically because I was wearing the corset. I realized when you wear the corset, you just don't eat. It changes your body. I had a smaller waist very momentarily. Then, the minute you stop wearing it, you're just back to how your body is. I had a lot of pain with the corset, too. I think I tore my shoulder at one point!" Liam Daniel / (C)Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection She also said she had to have help from the wardrobe team to get dressed "because when you're in a corset, you can't put your shoes on."

The pink bodysuit that Lily-Rose Depp's character Jocelyn struggled to perform in during Episode 2 of The Idol was as unbearable to wear IRL as it was on the show. Costume designer, Natasha Newman-Thomas - who created the beaded panties, resin bralette, and corset with designer Nusi Quero - told W Magazine, "We wanted to create something that would actually play into the scene and have that restrictive quality. Nusi works primarily in photo and doesn't really have a background in stage or dance. So there was a little bit of reality reflected in the art." HBO / Via HBO Max She also said Lily-Rose was "a trooper" during the scene, adding, "It was definitely a challenge, but I think that fed into the scene and heightened the point we were trying to get across." HBO / Via HBO Max 6. While playing the titular role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Rachel Brosnahan got a "corset-related injury" from her character's '50s and '60s-era outfits. She "can't take super deep breaths anymore." Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin / GC Images / Via Getty She told The Late Late Show with James Corden, "We talk so fast on the show that to get all the words out, you can't really take very many breaths.
