The idea was that needed to look like he never took this costume off. You can see it's starting to get ever so slightly threadbare in places and, again, looking for elements that we're going to create that sense of age." "It's quite extreme at times that we've actually sort of put quite a bit of life into that breakdown. Regarding the wizard gowns of Saruman and Gandalf, Ngila Dickson describes how her crew made them look genuinely lived-in: "We've really aged this costume down." They threw mud on costumes to represent the wear and tear. The beard had to be part of Ian's character, not a caricature."Ħ. "Eventually he saw that and I just cut a foot or more of it off. "I told him that it would be unworkable, that Ian would not be able to act freely or move about without getting tangled up," Owen stated.
We had to make quick decisions and give the director what he wanted." Peter Jackson wanted to give Gandalf a 3-foot-long beard. We had to design the makeup and create more than 100 new wigs and teach everyone how to put them on." "We had six weeks to prepare everything, which was ridiculous.

Gandalf had two costumes, first as Gandalf the Gray and then as Gandalf the White, each telling a different story. The costumes of Middle-Earth helped to transport audiences to a fantasy world that looked real because of their detail, and their lived-in quality. Like every character both large and small in those film series, Gandalf's costume was unique to him and helped convey his character's journey. Gandalf had been sent by the immortal Valar to Middle Earth in an age when first Morgoth, and then Sauron were amassing great power, and he felt the most affinity for its inhabitants (his favorite being hobbits).
Played equal parts curmudgeonly and majestic by Sir Ian McKellen, Gandalf was the figure that bound a ragtag group of hobbits, dwarves, humans, and elves together. Gandalf is one of the most beloved characters in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.
