Designers Lou Eyrich and Sarah Evelyn dressed big-screen ingenues, played by Samara Weaving and Laura Harrier, in mostly vintage.
Ryan Murphy has described "Hollywood," his latest offering for Netflix, as a "love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown." But the 10-episode series is more of tribute to the progressive, inclusive and pioneering film industry that could have, should have been .
"We leaned into the very Hollywood-ness of it all: 'Casablanca,' 'Woman of the Year,' 'Double Indemnity,'" explains Evelyn, also over the phone from L.A. "We really started looking at all the classic movies and kept watching, watching and watching — all the way through to the very obscure B-level movies."
Former silent-film actor and trophy wife-turned-studio head Avis is, understandably, regular client at The Golden Tip. She makes her grand debut pulling into the station stunting in a leopard-print, fur-collar jacket with matching pill-box hat . Mostly custom-designed, Ellen's impossibly chic three-piece pantsuits and jaunty prints balance a "'40s panache inside of this very classy restraint," Evelyn adds. Eyrich also credits in-house tailor Joanne Mills for "perfecting" a custom silhouette to flawlessly adapt the era's power-shouldered volume for the petite Taylor.
Fellow contract-player Camille first refers to Claire as her "competition," and their differing perspectives and experiences are illustrated by her color palette of "warm butterscotches and cinnamons" and her repetition of key pieces, versus Claire's red hues and never-ending wardrobe. While Evelyn and Eyrich replicated McDaniel's historically-documented ensemble for a flashback, the duo and their team also enjoyed the freedom to design costumes for depictions of real-life luminaries living out their imagined alt-histories. "Sometimes it's about finding the essence of the actor, instead of exactly recreating something," says Evelyn, before adding: "Those characters had so much depth you could read about and these reservoirs of pain that were interesting.
