If you are movie buff, it might be worth a special trip to London just to visit the Hollywood Costume exhibit that opened this weekend at the Victoria and Albert Museum (and runs until January 27, 2013).  With costumes ranging from Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's to Marilyn Monroe's character in Some Like it Hot to Avatar, the exhibit will showcase over 100 of the most iconic costumes from Hollywood's first century, 1912-2012.  All of the costumes are from private collections and studio archives and have never been publicly displayed before.

This short video about the exhibit on the V&A Channel is excellent - the next best thing to being able to actually see the exhibit.(if you are not able to view the video above try going here.)
