The talent Catherine O’Hara has to do such silly and hilarious comedy while maintaining a character astounds me. I never get tired of watching Bert Herblinger… https://youtube.com/shorts/uLHt1A898qA?si=PS25Q_yTYrVeukQE

Catherine O'Hara is a goddess!! I have loved her before I knew it was her, singing as Sally in "A Nightmare Before Christmas." What a fabulous dive into her costuming on those two shows (I watch LOU but refuse to pay Apple). I had scrutinized her outfits in Last of Us, and I'd probably be like her in that scenario. I often rant about "end-times" shows (I was a longtime watcher of The Walking Dead) that characters have way more options for clothes than what characters wear constantly. Like, wouldn't they be raiding homes/closets for really awesome things?? I know I would be!

Pshaw, that is barely an Easter egg! Walking down the street in NYC? Where are the shoulder pads? Where are the white Reeboks? Where is the feathered hair? (can you tell I love Working Girl?).

Cheryl and Fawnia, you are goddesses yourselves! Thank you for the always entertaining and enlightening article!

She is! Oh yes she’s so great in that, too. Apple has a lot of really good shows they barely promote, so don’t blame you! I do love how costume designers depict dystopian times through costumes like the little details that signal when the apocalypse happened. But yeah Gail’s clothes were exceptionally nice and her hair so done. I needed the backstory! For Materialists, it was more the spirit of a power suit instead of a literal expression of Working Girl. I thought it was nice because Melanie is her mom ❤️. Thank you for reading as always!!!

I loved the costume insights! I see my own garments and I'm always inspired by costumers and their choices for characters. Thank you 🌟

Thank you for reading! Ann and Kameron are always so thoughtful too and Catherine is total inspo — would love to see how you interpret it!
