Jacqueline West is an American costume designer. Her work has appeared in numerous films such as Quills (2000), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), State of Play (2009), The Tree of Life (2011), Seventh Son (2014), The Revenant (2015), Dune (2021), and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).

West was a fashion designer in the San Francisco Bay Area, with her own clothing stores in Berkeley, California, including her "Identikit by Jacqueline West" line.[1] Her first film work was for Philip Kaufman on Henry & June (1990).[2]

According to her, Brad Pitt called her a "method costumer".[3]

West and the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising established The Jacqueline West Scholarship for “an outstanding Native American interested in the study of fashion or costume design.”[4]

West has said she was heavily influenced by her mother, who was an avant garde fashion designer in the 1940s and 1950s.[3]
