The Harder They Fall, Bridgerton, and The Gilded Age have challenged the restraints of representation on TV not just in their casting but also their costuming.
Bridgerton place characters of color in the spotlight—and in beautiful, elaborate, sumptuous period costumes. The success of these shows proves there is a desire from audiences to reimagine our fantasies in a way that actually reflects the world we live in.
The introduction of the Sharma sisters in Season 2 has allowed for more of a nod to race and culture. “Having come from India, we used elements of the cut of that culture’s dresses. [We were] still using the empire line, [but] rather than having a center front opening of a regency dress … I’d push the side openings, so you … have this slight nod to the sari.
But Walicka-Maimone adds that this is not a documentary. When you’re taking a character from script to screen, history and research can only take you so far. There’s a level of artistry involved in creating costumes, and for Walicka-Maimone, that came through in the colors. For the Scott household, Walicka-Maimone “stayed with the purples, olives, browns, golds, oranges,” but she also used color to define Peggy opposite Marian , a young white woman who has just entered New York’s high society .
. “It was important to show the industry because it explains that this was a town that was prosperous, that had business. They had their own mills, they manufactured their own fabrics. It was a statement of wealth and prosperity.”That background informs the costumes of the Rufus Buck Gang, who are based in Redwood. Trudy Smith, played by Regina King, wears a dress in a deep, vibrant blue, while Buck himself draws your eye in one scene with a red velvet jacket.
