Walter Thrombey from Knives Out
Walt Thrombey (played by Michael Shannon) is the youngest of Harlan Thrombey’s children, and is the head of his prolific father’s publishing company, responsible for distributing the mystery writer’s books. Walt and his father argue constantly over selling the rights to Harlan’s work for use on other platforms. Walt’s clothing is relatively plain, relying on a drab color palette. Throughout the film, he uses a cane because his left foot is in a walking boot.
Linda Drysdale from Knives Out
Linda Drysdale (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) is the eldest surviving child and only daughter of Harlan Thrombey, and the two have always shared an especially close relationship. A real estate mogul in her own right, Linda is not shy when it comes to her fashion sense. She is often seen wearing solid colored power suits accented with chunky gold jewelry and round glasses, as well as her large engagement ring and wedding band from husband Richard.
Joni Thrombey from Knives Out
Joni Thrombey (played by Toni Collette) is the widow of Harlan Thrombey’s late son Neil and mother of Megan. As a lifestyle guru and social influencer, Joni’s style is punctuated by flowing tops and trendy accessories. Her entire look is soft and ethereal, including her long hair and frosted lips.
Hugh “Ransom” Drysdale from Knives Out
Hugh “Ransom” Drysdale (played by Chris Evans) is considered spoiled even by his own family’s standards. An unmotivated playboy, he befriends Marta Cabrera only to reveal that he has his own ulterior motives for doing so. The most memorable pieces of Ransom’s outfit are his cozy wool sweater and bold patterned scarf.
Marta Cabrera from Knives Out
Marta Cabrera (played by Ana de Armas) is Harlan Thrombey’s caretaker and friend. Marta is dressed to face the chilly New England weather, with plenty of layers and a colorful handmade scarf. The most important piece of her wardrobe, however, may be her pristine white shoes, which tell their own story as the movie unfolds.
Detective Benoit Blanc from Knives Out
Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) is a private detective with a deep Louisiana drawl who is hired to investigate the mysterious death of Harlan Thrombey. A true Southern gentleman, he wears crisply tailored suits accented by floral ties and handsome pocket squares. When he is deep in the throes of interrogating a victim or solving a crime, he has been known to ditch the suit jacket, roll up his sleeves, and tuck his tie into his shirt so that it doesn’t get in the way. A doughnut would make an excellent addition as an edible accessory to Blanc’s ensemble.
