Plus, "lace reads blood really beautifully," says costume designer Avery Plewes.As a reporter obsessed with costume design and bridal, I pretty much jumped at the chance to cover "Ready or Not." I also literally jumped a few times while watching the new comedy thriller, with bits of horror thrown in, as the heroine — and her very chic wedding gown — endure a lot, shall we say.
The corset on the gown references Middleton's Alexander McQueen wedding dress and the high-neck, long-sleeve silhouette speaks to Grace's vulnerability entering the Le Domas domain and serves as an armor of sorts. "She's presenting herself as who she thinks they would want her to be," adds Plewes. Plewes, who assisted mentor Christopher Hargadon on Netflix's "The Umbrella Academy" and the serial killer series "Hannibal," understands firsthand the costume requirements for sequences involving blood and other internal-bits splatter. But she needed to convince the directors that the production needed upwards of 24 dress multiples. Thinking strategically, Plewes created and presented a color-coded flow-chart.
The Chucks were scripted, but Plewes was "hellbent" on finding a pair in yellow, which would pop on camera against the dark hallways and grassy estate grounds during night shoots. Oddly, the popular color-way wasn't available in stores or online, so Plewes went to the brand — which also provided Kristen Stewart's footwear in "J.T. Leroy" — for their last remaining stock in the shade.
Patriarch Tony's ultra-dandy, three-piece suit and cravat-tie look is based on the Fall 2012 Prada collection — which Miuccia Prada described to Tim Blanks of then-Style.com as "a parody of male power." Plewes custom-made his shirts with extra-starchy pointed collars to demonstrate that he's "strong and domineering."
Of course, born with a silver spoon — or game piece — in his mouth, Tony would also employ an army of maids. But his are dressed in untraditional uniforms that are actually based on classic servant attire. The scalloping on the plunging necklines and ivory chokers reference the "principles" of formal black-and-white maid uniforms. But the boss's aesthetic also influences his staffers' looks.
