INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE: THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES (1994) - Lestat's (Tom Cruise) Waistcoat, Louis'
Lestat’s (Tom Cruise) waistcoat, Louis’ (Brad Pitt) Théâtre des Vampires invitation and pair of drinking glasses from Neil Jordan’s horror film Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles. In New Orleans, Lestat filled his glass with the blood of a prostitute for the reluctant Louis to drink. Later, Lestat wore his waistcoat as Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) tricked him into drinking the blood of dead twins. After moving to Paris, Louis was given an invitation to the Théâtre des Vampires by fellow vampire Armand (Antonio Banderas).

The waistcoat is made from linen fabric with a pale blue front featuring an embroidered gold pattern throughout. A handwritten label sewn to the underarm reads “Lestat 10”. Printed on thin cream card, the invitation reads “Theatres Des Vampires” printed in black text with the performance’s date and time printed in French below. The wine glasses each feature a trumpet bowl with a beaded stem. The waistcoat displays light signs of wear, including blue-colour run on the back panel as result of age and use. Dimensions (each glass): 10.5 cm x 10.5 cm x 19.5 cm (4 ¼” x 4 ¼” x 7 ¾”); (invitation): 11.5 x 8 cm (4 ½” x 3 ½”)
