We grew to know and identify the Monterey Five through their wardrobes [1] in the first season of Big Little Lies [2]. But things changed in season two, what with the introduction of more characters (hello, Meryl Streep [3]!) and these ever-evolving relationships. You know as well as I do that these little details affect the clothing in a big way.
Renata Klein is featured in a photo shoot [4] at her home that presents her as a power woman right off the bat in the season two premiere. She's pictured posing in a metallic red tuxedo gown with a slit and thigh-high boots. You can tell she's loving every second of it, and her power-woman attire continues throughout the rest of the episodes.
Meanwhile, Bonnie adjusts to a new lifestyle, and her clothes are a little more relaxed. In other words, she puts way less effort into keeping up her signature bohemian goddess look around the house. Then you've got Celeste, who maintains a sensible, professional, modest style throughout her trial and strays from her dreamy maxi gowns that we saw in season one.
Ahead, check out the details and most meaningful outfits from each episode. When it comes to these women and their closets, it's hard to predict what could happen next. Then again, Madeline's preppy, pink, put-together style simply refuses to budge.
