The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills premiered an exhibit that captures unique styles and fashions of FX's hit series American Horror Story. The free exhibit, “AHS: The Style of Scare,” opened Saturday, June 3, and fills almost 4,000 square feet of the Paley Center, making it the largest show ever displayed at the Beverly Hills location. This incredible and unparalleled collection of vintage and custom-made costumes spans every season of AHS to date: Murder House, Asylum, Coven, Freakshow, Hotel and Roanoke.

On opening night, AHS fans and some special guests including Evan Peters roamed from gallery to gallery — each representing a different season from the series — entranced by the work of the show's Emmy Award–winning costume designer, Lou Eyrich.

American Horror Story: The Style of Scare is open through July 30. For more information visit the Paley Center website.
