David Byrne from American Utopia

David Byrne’s American Utopia is a musical show that was on Broadway and released as a live recording in 2020 to HBO Max, directed by Spike Lee. In this show, Talking Heads’ David Byrne leads the way with international musicians as they put on a rock spectacle about art, openness and faith in humanity on a minimalist and bold background. Byrne performs songs you may be familiar with like Burning Down the House, Road to Nowhere, Glass, Concrete & Stone, and more.

David Byrne, like the rest of the artists on stage, wears an all-gray suit with a gray shirt-but loose enough to dance in. Pair this with a stage mic, prop brain, and leave the shoes out this time for this costume!

Willa Ferreyra from Succession

Willa Ferreyra, played by Justine Lupe-Schomp, is from the series Succession. Willa was a former escort and in the series, becomes the partner of one of the Roy siblings: Connor Roy.

Willa is a quiet character starting out in the show, but gains confidence as she becomes closer with Connor. We can see this not only through her dialogue where she stands up for herself and Connor, it is shown very clearly through her costumes. As she accompanies Connor to events with the family and Waystar Royco, she seems to learn to dress perfectly for the occasion and still stand out with her stylish choices. She wears light and flowy dresses at a garden party and other times she dresses edgy but follows current trends like the black choker, that may not exactly fit into the Roy family style. When Connor runs for president after the two are married, her fashion transitions into classic pieces and even 1960s inspired, showing that she wants to dress and feel like her idea of a first lady. Willa has possibly the greatest growth in her wardrobe in the series and is one of the few characters who really remain true to themselves, and that’s why we love her!

Candy from Love and Death

Candy Montgomery is from the crime drama TV series Love and Death, and is played by Elizabeth Olsen, based on a true story. Candy is the main character who is an active member in her church and a mother that gets herself into deep trouble when getting involved with another member of the church, Allan Gore.

This story takes place in 1980 Texas. Fitting Candy’s personality, she wears modest clothing that is slightly dated but still wears some pieces that are more trendy or risky in her community. She wears lots of muted tones that are reminiscent of the 70s and some pops of bright colors like red. You’ll usually see her in lots of denim, with stylish flare jeans and casual striped tops.

Greg Hirsch from Succession

Greg Hirsch, played by Nicholas Braun, is from the series Succession. Greg is the cousin of the Roy siblings and works his way up in the huge family company that is Waystar Royco. He has the most endearing personality in the show because of his nervousness and least corrupt behavior in the family. Tom Wambsgans becomes his mentor and friend that is a joy to watch in the show, and a hilarious duo.

Greg’s style changes throughout the season as he makes his way up the company. He started at the very bottom- fired from a theme park where he would dress pretty sloppy but as he gains wealth and finds a place at Waystar, his haircuts become cleaner and he begins wearing sharp suits. There are in-between stages where layering is used where you can really see this transition and growth with a combination of some old pieces that he is still holding onto, and new pieces as he begins to get paid more and more.

Tom Wambsgans from Succession

Tom Wambsgans played by Matthew MacFadyen, is from the series Succession. Tom is married to one of Logan Roy’s children, Siobhan “Shiv” Roy. He works for Waystar Royco and is ambitious in the way he is always working to grow in the company and becomes very successful in that. He becomes a mentor, friend, and ‘Disgusting Brother’ to Greg Hirsch, which creates a hilarious duo to watch.

Tom’s style is a classic and simple one. He doesn’t stand out from the crowd and the rest of the company, but is always dressed appropriately in every occasion. He wears lots of navy blue suits, and ties in certain instances. For more casual events he tends to wear a simple nice vest over a dress shirt, and in both cases, always a watch. His style throughout the series really shows that he is a true underdog and quietly works his way up to the top.
