The Spanish costume designer, new to the Hollywood scene, is seeing his name at the top of many Oscar prediction lists thanks to his work in Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper‘s much anticipated film adaptation of the Broadway musical Les Misérables.

And now Delgado’s opening up about his inspiration and the resulting costumes in a special video leading up to the film’s release.

Starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried, Les Misérables opens nationwide on December 25.

Lea Michele: One of the Misérables?

She’s the star of Fox’s hit musical dramedy “Glee,” but Lea Michele could soon be misérable

The 25-year-old part-Spanish actress has reportedly auditioned for the role of Éponine—the headstrong girl who falls for heroic Marius—in the cinematic adaptation of the hit musical, Les Miserables, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Should she land the role, the Tony-winning actress’ career would be coming full circle. Michele made her Broadway debut playing Young Cosette back in 1995, when she was just 8 years old.

Michele would join a star-studded cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway.

The New York Post‘s Page 6 initially reported that Michele, Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson and Evan Rachel Wood had each auditioned for the role.
