Howard Shoup (parfois crédité Shoup) est un costumier américain, de son nom complet Conway Howard Shoup, né le 29 août 1903 à Dallas (Texas), mort le 29 mai 1987 à Los Angeles (Californie).

Biography

Au cinéma, où il exerce principalement, Howard Shoup débute comme chef-costumier en 1937 et contribue à cent-soixante-quatorze films américains (dont des westerns) jusqu'en 1967 — produits entre autres par Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer et Warner Bros. —, souvent pour les seuls costumes féminins.

Parmi ses films notables, citons Les Aventures de Tarzan à New York (1942, avec Johnny Weissmuller et Maureen O'Sullivan), Lily Mars vedette de Norman Taurog (1943, avec Judy Garland et Van Heflin), La Blonde du Far-West de David Butler (1953, avec Doris Day et Howard Keel), Ce monde à part de Vincent Sherman (1959, avec Paul Newman, Barbara Rush et Alexis Smith), Gypsy, Vénus de Broadway (Gypsy) de Mervyn LeRoy (1962, avec Natalie Wood et Rosalind Russell), ou encore Luke la main froide de Stuart Rosenberg (son dernier film en 1967, avec Paul Newman et George Kennedy).

Ce monde à part lui vaut en 1960 la première de ses cinq nominations à l'Oscar de la meilleure création de costumes (il n'en gagne pas).

Howard Shoup est l'un des membres fondateurs (dont Edith Head) de la Costume Designers Guild, en 1953.

Au théâtre, il collabore pour Broadway (New York) à la comédie musicale Music in the Air du tandem Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein II, représentée en 1932-1933, puis à la pièce Winged Victory de Moss Hart, jouée en 1943-1944 (et adaptée au cinéma en 1944).
