Madden will receive the guild’s Distinguished Service Award, given to “individuals whose specialties and talents contribute to the craft and art of Costume Design.” Her five decades of film and TV credits include movies like 1982’s The Beastmaster, Frank & Jesse and Above Suspicion and TV movies including The Heidi Chronicles and a pair of Jesse Stone telefilms.

Also at the guild’s annual awards show, Ruth E. Carter will receive the Career Achievement Award and Ryan Murphy the Distinguished Collaborator Award.
