Blockbuster films Avatar: The Way Of Water, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Top Gun: Maverick have all received top nominations at the Costume Designers Guild Awards (CDGA).
The big budget movies will go head to head at the 25th annual event, celebrating excellence in film, television, and short form costume design, which is due to take place next month.
Award season frontrunners The Banshees Of Inisherin and The Fabelmans were noticeably absent from the lists, which were released by the CDGA on Thursday.

Oscar-winning British designer Jenny Beavan also picked up a nod in the category for her work on Mrs Harris Goes To Paris.
Beavan picked up the Oscar for best costume design last year, for the film Cruella, marking the third time she had won this award in her career.
British series also scored nominations in the CDGA television categories, with The Crown and Bridgerton receiving nods in the period TV category.
