Charles-Haden Savage from Only Murders in the Building
Charles-Haden Savage (played by Steve Martin) is a main character on the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building. Charles is an actor most well-known for playing a hard-boiled detective named Brazzos on the show of the same name. He teams up with fellow true-crime junkies Oliver and Mabel to solve a murder in the Arconia, the apartment building where they all live, and start a podcast in the process. Charles dresses well, with simple but classic pieces. His style is much less eccentric than his co-hosts and the most prominently recognizable feature of his wardrobe are his pork pie and the glasses he wears. If you mix some crisp jeans with a nice sweater layered over a button-down, you’ll be good to go.
Mabel Mora from Only Murders in the Building
Mable Mora (played by Selena Gomez) is a main character in Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. When Mable arrives at the Arconia apartment complex in New York City, she’s a bit of an anomaly. An artist, it turns out Mabel is staying at her aunt’s for free in exchange for fixing it up, but she has a complicated past with the Arconia, which is revealed over the course of the first season of the true-crime podcast she hosts with Charles and Oliver. Season two sees her past further revealed after a bloody discovery in her apartment. Mabel wears a number of quirky outfits, often borrowing pieces from her aunt’s wardrobe to mix and match unique looks. Focus on finding some cozy retro-looking sweaters and pops of color when putting together your costume.
Oliver Putnam from Only Murders in the Building
Oliver Putnam (played by Martin Short) is one of the three main characters in the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building. A long-time New York City director, Oliver has an outlandish personality, his love for scarves matched only by his affinity for dips. Along with Charles and Mabel, two of his neighbors, and fellow true-crime junkies, Oliver sets out to solve a murder in his apartment building, the iconic Arconia. Often seen with a cellphone in hand to record spur-of-the-moment commentary, Oliver’s character is almost as colorful as his wardrobe. When recreating his look, focus on layering dressy clothes with fabulous coats and silk scarves.
