In contrast to Ruby's red, we meet Letitia Lewis, her sister, in a red outfit. The physical looks and style immediately set a sharp contrast between the two sisters in episode one. Leti wears a button-up, gathered V-neck bodice with a black full skirt with a striped hem and underpinnings and peekaboo pleats that she plays with as she performs.
When chatting with Pink, I mentioned that this intro look on Leti called to mind one of the most iconic images of Hollywood Golden Age film star Dorothy Dandridge, with whom Leti's sister shares a last name. It is a promo still of Dandridge in her role as Carmen from the titular movie with Harry Belafonte (my grandmother loved him). Pink confirmed that indeed, Dandridge was a major inspiration in the wardrobe for Leti.
