"During prep, I made the connection with Chanel to dress Tessa for some of the most iconic moments of the film," the costume designer said. "Chanel allowed me to create a wish list of garments to try on. These are all from the Lagerfeld collections and are runway samples. I paired these looks with head-to-toe vintage accessories to make sure they really felt period-correct. I think the details of the dresses (blue above, and Sylvie's black sequined gown) really read like they were designed in this era.
"[For the black Chanel dress], I was looking for something with texture that had a wow factor. I am wary of using black on screen because it can be a black hole and all the details disappear. When I saw the sequin gown with the stand collar on the Chanel runway, I knew that was going to be it. Luckily, it came in time for the shoot and fit Tessa like a glove. We accessorized it with black velvet opera-length gloves, a velvet belt, and black satin pumps."
