"As the viewer becomes more confused as to who is Karen and who is Kelly, their style meshes together."
"Karen (Mallory Bechtel) is the classic, impeccably put-together high school mean girl who is always in short skirts, heels, and pink or yellow," Evans explains. "Kelly [also played by Bechtel] is her twin, a less-cool version of Karen who doesn't wear heels and is typically more plain Jane than Karen, wearing longer hemlines and slightly different shades such as light blue and cream."
Even still, she sourced the same distinctive pieces for them both, looking for argyle, ruffles, chain belts, friendship necklaces, cropped twinsets, and cheerleader skirts. "As the viewer becomes more confused as to who is Karen and who is Kelly, their style meshes together to help push that storyline," she says.
Evans based the Beasleys on the aesthetic we see in "Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion," "Clueless," and "Mean Girls." She shopped Maje Paris, Alice + Olivia, Majorelle, Aqua, Brandy Melville, Sandro Paris Oficiel, and Jonathan Simkhai for Bechtel.
Shoes were sourced from Steve Madden and jewelry from nostalgic brands like Yam, Anita Berisha, and Marland Backus.
