The costumes for the original production of Starlight Express in 1984 were designed by John Napier. He created ambitious designs, which had to be modified in construction given limited time, available techniques and materials, and budget. When the show transferred to Broadway in 1987, Napier updated a lot of the character designs, while other costumes were able to be made to the original design, but with a far more detailed realisation than in the original production. He returned to Starlight in 2018, redesigning the costumes for the Bochum revisions.

Napier's techniques include elements of mixed media, photography, and re-working into the original sketch, which creates multiple, similar versions of the original designs.
