Linda Muir is a Canadiancostume designer. She is best known for her frequent collaborations with directorRobert Eggers. She was nominated for anAcademy Award in the categoryBest Costume Design for the filmNosferatu (2024).

Muir has received four nominations for theCanadian Screen Award for Best Costume Design and has won twice forExotica (1994) andLilies (1996). She faced a formidable challenge while working on the latter film, not the least in designing a very excellent ballroom gown for male actorRémy Girard. Muir said that her approach was "not to dress men in women's clothing but to build [female] costumes for men's bodies."^[1]

Muir joined the crew forRobert Eggers' feature filmThe Witch in December 2013. During the preproduction period, she conducted exhaustive research, which included consulting 35 books from theClothes of the Common People in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England series provided by Eggers, as well as other books and images on 17th-century fashion. She had also examined photographs of original garments in the permanent collections of theVictoria and Albert Museum in London and theFashion Museum, Bath, that she took back in 1984. Muir created authentic-looking film wardrobes made of wool, linen, or hemp for an ensemble of nine principal characters. Operating on a limited budget, she pushed for an increase in order to better meet the screenplay's demands, and the director’s vision was realized.^[2]
