This week, Marie is joined by Emmy-nominated costume designer Kameron Lennox to talk about dressing the cast of The Studio! Kameron breaks down the inspiration behind Matt’s (Seth Rogen) never-repeat custom suits, Sal Saperstein’s (Ike Barinholtz) sleazy-chic lapels, and the bold color palettes that distinguish each character. We also get into Patty’s (Catherine O’Hara) regal Max Mara–inspired looks, Quinn’s (Chase Sui Wonders) vintage-infused wardrobe (including some of Kameron’s own pieces!), and of course, the wild, sartorial chaos of Kathryn Hahn’s character, Maya! 

From sourcing fabrics in Italy to pulling a Galliano gown for Zoe Kravitz, Kameron shares how she blended present-day style with Old Hollywood glam to make the show’s world feel both timeless and fashion-forward. Plus, we chat about her work on Platonic, our shared obsession with brooches, whether or not Maya would accessorize with Labubus in season 2 (had to), and more!

We’re in early-2000s Los Angeles with Freaky Friday! When a rebellious teen (Lindsay Lohan) and her uptight mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) swap bodies, they also swap styles—from studded belts, raglan tees, and guitar-pick chokers to a now-iconic boho patchwork Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress with knee-high suede boots. Costume designer Genevieve Tyrrell (Swingers, Go) put our favorite Pink Slip queen in studded belts, cargo pants, raglan tees, and chunky highlights, then turns up JLC’s glam with that now-iconic boho patchwork DVF dress, knee-high suede boots, and a pixie cut that screams “rich mom in Laurel Canyon.” We relive the era’s Avril Lavigne vibes, chunky highlights, and Von Dutch sightings, plus all the LA nostalgia (RIP House of Blues). Tune in and meet us at Third Street Promenade!

As if! Happy 30th anniversary to Clueless!!! To celebrate, Blaire and Marie reminisce about watching Clueless for the first time when they were youngins, and how life-changing Mona May’s costumes were. Marie catches us up on all the fun facts and trivia she learned while interviewing Mona and the film’s OG beauty team. Meanwhile, Blaire talks about the parallels between being an actual LA teen at the time and our favorite Bronson Pinchot High School teens. Plus, all of the fun collabs, events, and news surrounding this major milestone, their summer movie to-watch list, and more!

Wagon Wheel Watusi! This week, we’re shimmying into Burlesque (2010), the bedazzled fever dream of a movie musical starring Cher and Christina Aguilera. It’s all rhinestones and ringmaster vibes, and we’re here for every glittering second. Costume design legend Michael Kaplan (Blade Runner, Fight Club, Flashdance) found inspiration everywhere—from sherbet dessert to Magritte and Man Ray—for these stunning costumes.  

We break down Cher’s Bob Mackie tuxedo-glam, Xtina’s transformation from small-town waitress to burlesque bombshell, and that dreamy off-the-shoulder green silk gown that deserves a spot in the Green Dress Hall of Fame (move over, Atonement!). Marie swoons over surrealist hand-motif bodysuits while Blaire confesses her love for a silver chunky heel and opera gloves.

We also dive into the film's Pussycat Dolls origins and why this movie feels like a chaotic cabaret dream you never want to wake up from. Plus, Marie's Lafufu update, Practical Magic 2 chismes, and more. Show us how you burlesque!

"I got more legs than a bucket of chicken!" For this episode, we’ve got big looks, big hearts, and even BIGGER hats: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar! It’s been 30 years since this glittery road trip comedy debuted, and we’re celebrating the unforgettable drag stylings brought to life by costume designer legend Marlene Stewart (Coyote Ugly, The Holiday, Madonna music videos).

Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo don drag as Miss Vita Boheme, Noxeema Jackson, and Chi-Chi Rodriguez—three queens (ahem, two queens and one drag princess!) on a cross-country journey filled with makeovers, marabou, and midwestern magic. We break down the trio’s signature styles, discuss RuPaul’s cameo moment as Rachel Tensions, and the Clueless-level volume of costume changes. We also talk about our recent obsessions, including Blaire’s glass fruit ASMR and Marie’s bald Lafufu. [SCREAMS] Tune in now!

We’re baaaaack! After a mini-hiatus, we’re kicking things off with some brain candy: Another Simple Favor! The sequel to A Simple Favor has everything we love: mystery, murder, and a wardrobe so extra you could watch the movie on mute and still be entertained. Blake Lively returns as Emily, serving high camp, insane hats, oversized tailoring, and looks that scream Murder Mommy Mob Wife, all courtesy of costume designer Renée Ehrlich Kalfus (A Simple Favor, Hidden Figures, Friends With Benefits). Anna Kendrick’s Stephanie may have a few cute ‘fits, but let’s be real: this is ol’ blondie’s runway.

We break down the couture-level costumes, discuss how Blake’s real-life stylist-free choices influence her character’s wardrobe, and compare it all to the chaotic looks in It Ends With Us (double pants trigger warning). You won’t find any litig**tion speak here, but you WILL find us spiraling into tangents on Marie’s totally healthy Babygirl obsession, our new segment (?) "Dakota Unchained," Party Girl’s 30th anniversary, and even a little Seth Rogen love. It's unhinged, it's fabulous, it's Makeover Montage.

Bottoms week continues! In this long-lost episode from the Makeover Montage vault, Marie sits down with the film’s makeup artist Natalie Johnson for a deep dive into the bold, hilarious, and blood-soaked aesthetic of the breakout teen comedy. Natalie shares how ‘90s teen classics like Bring It On, Jawbreaker, Never Been Kissed, and She’s All That inspired the film’s hyper-stylized yet realistic high school looks, and how Fight Club served as a makeup reference for those epic fight scenes. From skincare prep to bruising techniques, Natalie gives us a behind-the-scenes look at crafting both beauty and carnage on set. Plus, she opens up about her journey from MAC Cosmetics to movie sets, her love for horror, and why collaboration with actors like Rachel Sennott and Havana Rose Liu made Bottoms such a treat!

“Could the ugly, untalented gays please report to the principal's office?” It's PRIDE MONTH and we’re celebrating with a chaotic queer cult-classic in the making: Bottoms! Marie is joined by writer and friend of the pod Krista Burton to dive into this hilariously h**ny, gloriously campy lesbian fight club film that stars Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott. Costume designer Eunice Jera Lee loaded the film with fun throwbacks and brilliant references to The Craft, Clueless, and Ferris Bueller. We break down PJ’s suspender-core crisis, best-friend necklaces, and Chanel-coded revenge ‘fits, while discussing our mutual Ruby Cruz thirst, Kristen Stewart stanning, and more. Tune in now!

Imagine if your too-good-to-be-true boo was actually an android?! In this episode, Marie talks to Companion costume designer Vanessa Porter about her work on the sci-fi rom-com thriller, which stars Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid as a couple on a getaway with friends at a remote cabin—until hell breaks loose when one of the guests is revealed to be a companion robot!

Vanessa breaks down how Iris’s (Sophie Thatcher) French New Wave-inspired wardrobe of pastel cardigans, gingham rompers, and Reformation-worthy sundresses isn’t just style goals, it’s a commentary on control, fantasy, and good ol’ toxic masculinity. They also discuss how dressing a character who doesn’t pick her own outfits flips the script on traditional costuming, and how each carefully coordinated look reflects her creator’s fantasy more than Iris herself.

Plus: the cult-favorite necklace Marie’s adding to cart, which classic brand is a Tradwife staple, and how to design a Stepford Wifey outfit with just the right amount of blood splatter. Tune in now!

It's time to party like it's 1999! For this special NYE bonus episode, we're thrilled to welcome costume designer Katina Danabassis to the pod to discuss her work in the new A24 horror-comedy Y2K! Katina takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the turn of the millennium, where cyber-optimism and late 90s/2000s style ruled. From the shiny, chrome-infused looks to the iconic brands that defined the era (Abercrombie! Tommy Hilfiger!), Katina's costumes for Y2K perfectly capture the essence of this moment in time. She tells us how she meticulously sourced vintage pieces, collaborated with the cast, and infused personal touches to make the fashion in Y2K feel authentic. She also tells us about designing the costumes in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Past Lives, what it's like working with Zendaya, and why "Go" is such an important movie. Whether you're a former JNCO-wearing raver, a nu-metal freak, or simply someone who loves a heavy dose of 90s/2000s nostalgia, this episode is a must for your ears!
