‘King of Staten Island’ Costume Designer Sarah Mae Burton on Creating Pete Davidson’s Look

, costume designer Sarah Mae Burton knew she didn’t want Davidson’s character to look like the “SNL” cast member.

“Pete has a distinctive style [“scrumbo” — logos, sweats, Hawaiian shirts and neon] in the media, and we wanted to make sure we weren’t dressing him like that,” she says.In the Judd Apatow film, which Universal is offering on VOD on June 12, Davidson plays Scott, a young man still mourning his firefighter father, who died on the job when Scott was 7 . Scott, who still lives at home, has a bad case of arrested development and passes his time smoking weed and hanging out with his friends.

“He doesn’t wear super expensive things,” Burton explains. “And when he does, he might have saved up for those items.” Or, she conjectures, he might have “received a very small inheritance from his father.” When we first encounter his character, he’s in an oversize black hoodie and driving his car. Burton’s script cue was seeing Scott in a dark place of mourning behind the wheel, with his eyes closed for a moment. Her instinct was to put him in “something comfortable and covered.” She also shopped in thrift stores and stone-washed all the clothes she bought to make them look aged and suggest “what he could afford,” she explains.

Marisa Tomei plays Scott’s mother, Margie, a nurse who has put up with her son hanging out at home with his friends but isn’t happy about it. Her sense of style has stalled. Her kids have been her priority, and she’s exhausted from hours in the ER. “She wears the same things and hasn’t been trying,” Burton says. That is, until she meets Ray , a loudmouthed firefighter she starts dating.As Margie begins to find herself, we see her palette change.

Was it 'just show up, you'll be fine?' HeroinChic
