- 0:43Welcome everybody. Welcome to the very first
- 0:46episode of The Art of costume. Oh my gosh crazy.
- 0:52This is a solid six months of planning.
- 0:54Yeah, very solid. But we've been wanting to do
- 0:57something like this for a long time and I'm just, I still can't
- 1:01believe you're actually doing it.
- 1:02It's exciting. Yeah, I'm definitely nervous.
- 1:05I we know what we're doing. Kind of.
- 1:09Okay. I don't know.
- 1:10Actually, that's just the nerves talking.
- 1:13We know. We know what we're doing.
- 1:15We haven't a sound engineer. AKA our friend, Daniel white.
- 1:21We're gonna have fun. We're going to talk about movies
- 1:24and TV shows, and all of our favorite costumes or costumes,
- 1:28who don't like, we're just going to I can't talk fashion.
- 1:31All of our thoughts and feelings are going to be out there.
- 1:34We are a costume centered podcast.
- 1:39However, we will interject our personal feelings about each and
- 1:42every film. As we go, scene-by-scene through
- 1:46all of these and I have a lot of feelings.
- 1:49So this is kind of like my own therapy session talking through
- 1:52each movie and show. Okay, good to know.
- 1:57Elizabeth, what are we watching today for our first episode?
- 2:02For our first episode? We are watching the Disney
- 2:07reimagining of the famous villain.
- 2:10S from 101. Dalmatians.
- 2:13Today we are watching. Cruella.
- 2:16Oh, I love this movie. It was so good.
- 2:18It was so good. When you fir first, like, let's
- 2:20do karela for our first episode. Like I was not excited, I did
- 2:26not like the trailer. The trailer just seems like very
- 2:29like boring and like it was just going to be like a very Petty
- 2:34stormy wind. I was like, oh the old washed-up
- 2:38fashion designer steals, the young spunky, fashion, designers
- 2:42designs, no fires. Her real original, but then it's
- 2:47not, oh, no, I love the, I thought it was so fun.
- 2:53I'm not a big Disney person. As, you know, like it, I have to
- 2:57You have to do some convincing to get me to watch a Disney
- 3:00movie, unless it's like Marvel. Yeah, there's or Star Wars.
- 3:03Honestly, I'm actually the same. There are quite a few like
- 3:07Disney films that I still have not seen that.
- 3:12If I told people I hadn't seen them, they probably freak out
- 3:16and with you we could talk about after so we don't get it.
- 3:20So we don't have any any any potential fans.
- 3:24I was so happy that they kind of went the um The Maleficent or
- 3:28brow with her to like make. Oh I see what you're saying to
- 3:32make hurt sympathetic but like not too sympathetic.
- 3:35Yeah, I mean she doesn't regret any of her actions.
- 3:38Nothing. No.
- 3:41And the costumes in this movie are insane.
- 3:44Oh my gosh. I you know, I think we should
- 3:47just head into. Yeah, let's just get started and
- 3:50then we can go behind the Wardrobe and talk about this.
- 3:54All right, so I put together a little summary like I said, I'm
- 3:57Trying to put together summaries in my own words.
- 4:00All right. This is how I took it when I was
- 4:03watching a movie. So here's our first summary
- 4:08Estella, a young fashionable girl with creative aspirations,
- 4:13who has recently orphaned meets a pair of Thieves who
- 4:16appreciates her mischievous lifestyle during the 1970s Punk
- 4:20revolution, in the Streets of London, Estella begins to work
- 4:23for fashion. Legend baroness Von Hellman
- 4:26Estella and bark. He's on a journey of Revenge
- 4:29when she discovers the shocking truth behind her mother's death
- 4:33with fashion as her weapon, loyal dogs and chosen family.
- 4:37Estella becomes the icon. We have all come to know karela
- 4:41DeVille. Yeah, yeah, that's about it.
- 4:45That's like really The Bare Bones now that we've gone
- 4:49through the summer. I just want to stop here for a
- 4:51second and let everybody know this is not a spoiler free
- 4:55podcast. No.
- 4:57Absolutely not. If you haven't seen Cruella and
- 5:00you care about spoilers, you gotta stop.
- 5:03Here. Don't go any further.
- 5:06Go wash Cruella, I'm pick back up, press pause right now.
- 5:11Whatever you're listening to go watch gorilla.
- 5:14If you're in the car, you know make sure you pull over to the
- 5:17side of the freeway First, Watch karela, and then start driving
- 5:22again, you know, just maybe just safely.
- 5:24Make your way to a theater. I like the idea more.
- 5:26Don't say it. On the side of the highway on
- 5:29your iPhone. Plus, this is not a movie that
- 5:32should be watched on your iPhone.
- 5:33The costumes are too good for that.
- 5:36Oh, I agree. So, let's, let's go behind the
- 5:39Wardrobe, guys. Let's see.
- 5:41What brought? What brought this incredible
- 5:44wardrobe together. So the director of this film is
- 5:47Craig Gillespie, but the genius behind this wardrobe is Jenny
- 5:54beavan. I did not How many amazing films
- 6:01this woman has done? Let me just let me just take you
- 6:04through her notable films. Are you ready?
- 6:06Spencer, I'm ready. When we all know and love,
- 6:10apparently, I have not. I've actually got seen this yet
- 6:13Mad Max Fury Road for, which she won an Oscar.
- 6:16Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The King's Speech, another
- 6:20brilliant, one Gosford Park. Which I actually have no idea
- 6:24what that movie is, but every article I read brought it up as
- 6:28a notable film of hers. Is that we might have to look
- 6:31into that Spencer added to the list.
- 6:35She also costumed Room with a View and she makes Helena
- 6:39Bonham. Carter look incredible in that
- 6:42film Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey jr.
- 6:46Oh yeah, Ever After the 1995 Sense and Sensibility with Emma
- 6:52Thompson, so she's been working with Emma Thompson for a very
- 6:55long time. She did the Epic.
- 6:58Alexander with Angelina Jolie and a little more recently.
- 7:02She did the costumes for the Nutcracker in the four Realms.
- 7:05Oh, I love those costumes. She is.
- 7:08Truly an incredible designer across all different award
- 7:14shows. She's gotten a total of 55
- 7:17nominations and 25 wins. 10 of those is for the Oscars with two
- 7:23wins. She's got an 11 bafta
- 7:26nominations with three. Ins.
- 7:27Wow, five Emmy nominations with two wins.
- 7:31So this woman, she knows what she's doing.
- 7:34She's the real deal and Jenny is the real deal.
- 7:38So creative, like just from doing like, you know, Regency
- 7:43Era, the sent Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility to Mad Max Fury
- 7:48Road. I'm like, that's quite
- 7:50thoroughly. As I believe, she's actually on
- 7:52the set right now of furiosa, but the, the prequel to Mad Max,
- 7:57She is. But let's get back to Cruella.
- 8:03So for Creole acrylic, she really had to create white, the
- 8:08Wardrobe. Obviously, like you said this
- 8:10film is all about fashion and how people use fashion?
- 8:17She, and all the interviews I saw with her, she said she
- 8:21really didn't Focus so much on the fashion.
- 8:25I mean, obviously they take A lot of inspiration from the
- 8:311970s, especially the punk scene because that's where karela is
- 8:36set. So she took that inspiration.
- 8:38But she said, she was always worried about telling the story.
- 8:41That's what the costume. That's how she got so these,
- 8:44incredible costumes, clearly it was no small fee.
- 8:48Let me take you through some facts about the word.
- 8:52Ruper kualoa, Emma Stone's, Cruella, wardrobe consisted of
- 8:5647. Pieces.
- 8:58Oh my God. Emma.
- 9:00Thompson's wardrobe for the baroness consists of 33 pieces.
- 9:05Wow! And Paul Walter Horace as
- 9:08Horace? They each each of them had a
- 9:1230-piece wardrobe. That's insane.
- 9:15So this is just costume after costume after costume.
- 9:19They had. I don't know how many extras at
- 9:22all of those party scenes and I believe this was filmed pre
- 9:26covid so those are Actual background actors.
- 9:30They had to dress, who knows how many dozens of background
- 9:35actors. It is insane.
- 9:37The work that went into this and it's no surprise.
- 9:40Kirill has reported budget, was 200 million dollars.
- 9:45Hello. So it's like okay that one to
- 9:49wardrobe you would think they're there's just there's so much
- 9:56it's all Very, very beautiful. Like she hits every single be
- 10:01perfectly. And according to a Vanity Fair
- 10:04article, she was really allowed to, like, just do her own thing,
- 10:09do what you would like, but they the studio instructor her make
- 10:16it conceivable that Stones Cruella.
- 10:18Could possibly one day, turn into Glenn closes version of the
- 10:22character, that's a quote from Vanity Fair.
- 10:25All right. Love that I've Seen the Glenn
- 10:28Close version of Cruella. It like the movie of it, but
- 10:32I've seen pictures of her and I'm like, oh yeah, this she
- 10:35could turn into her. I love those movies.
- 10:38I used to watch them all the time and I do see a parallel.
- 10:42I do see Emma Stone's character. One day, becoming Glenn closes
- 10:46character. I believe Glenn Close was
- 10:48actually an executive. She was out of she's executive.
- 10:52She was actually a producer on this film.
- 10:54Oh, really? That's fascinating.
- 10:56Yeah. I guess she really likes for.
- 10:58Well, huh, wow, I mean, it's it's so funny.
- 11:02Like so many people our age. I mean, that's how they know
- 11:05Glenn. Close was playing karela back in
- 11:07a day. Yeah, just like Glenn Close is
- 11:09done so much more than just 101 Dalmatians, but a lot of people
- 11:14know, Glenn Close as Cruella de Vil.
- 11:16So she, I believe she wanted to have a hand in anything.
- 11:20Grill is a bill that's going forward, I could see that.
- 11:23Yeah. Also, one last little behind the
- 11:25Wardrobe, fact. Not once does corroded L have a
- 11:29cigarette in this movie. Mmm, and it's for a great
- 11:33reason. This is Disney.
- 11:35This is a children's film, Disney will no longer promote
- 11:40smoking and any of their movies. That's so funny.
- 11:44So apparently like Emma Stone was actually kind of excited to
- 11:48like hold and work with that, but she was like, oh no, that
- 11:52makes sense. Yeah, children's movie yeah.
- 11:57I mean, they create a whole new kind of iconic Cruella just - -
- 12:02the cigarettes. I didn't even realize that when
- 12:05I watch that. I've watched it a couple times
- 12:07now and yeah, that never done to me.
- 12:09We, I'd have to double check myself on this but they've
- 12:12actually put like a lot of money and effort into going into the
- 12:15old films and digitally taking out cigarettes like they're
- 12:22committed. I love that though.
- 12:25That is cool. That's cool.
- 12:27Why should we jump into it? Yeah, let's do it.
- 12:29I'm so ready. Those are some brilliant behind
- 12:32a wardrobe facts. I'm just so hyped to get into
- 12:35this movie. So let's take a little break and
- 12:37when we come back, we're going to start Cruella.
- 13:00Elizabeth her ready to get this movie going?
- 13:02I'm ready, I'm ready. Let's do it.
- 13:04All right, so we start the movie and Estella, not Guerrilla.
- 13:09This is Estella, she was born with black and white.
- 13:15Hair. And so she's already kind of the
- 13:18odd. One out, it's very strange, but
- 13:20also very cool. Yeah, it shoot.
- 13:22That was like a cute little shot of the baby with like, half
- 13:25white hair. Have black hair.
- 13:27I was like, oh, look at you and we come up fast forward to
- 13:33Estella going to school. She looks fabulous.
- 13:36But she's like, getting into trouble.
- 13:39Probably taken dodgeball little too seriously, although she
- 13:42looks really cute in that seemed to with like, What like what are
- 13:46those? He has like the crossing like,
- 13:48sashes or something. Yeah, she has like this cool
- 13:51outfit with these, like, Crossing lapels almost sets
- 13:55looks like leather. Or when you brought a dodgeball
- 13:59kind of gave me some flashbacks. I hated the DodgeBall people
- 14:03took it way too, seriously. I mean, we're not trying to kill
- 14:06each other while lunch is after this, you know, the advantages
- 14:10of going to cyber school. I didn't have to deal with that.
- 14:13Well, lucky you, yeah. I was the one that was
- 14:16notoriously game pelted by balls all day.
- 14:19That's unfortunate korilla. Not korilla backup.
- 14:28Estella is wearing this printed jacket that has like.
- 14:32It looks like she likes. Cool.
- 14:34Do over a sleeves of it. What are you doing, school?
- 14:37Vandalizing your uniform all day.
- 14:42She's not focused clearly, she's not focusing on school.
- 14:45She's focusing on looking amazing.
- 14:47And she's getting bullied for that.
- 14:49Yeah. And which is unfortunate
- 14:52unfortunate because her style is crazy, and it sucks that people
- 14:57feel the need to make fun of other people because they're not
- 14:59the same as you, I know. And it's like, she is like a fun
- 15:03outrageous, very outspoken person but she's forced to like
- 15:08try and fit in and it's like that's not who you're meant to
- 15:12be bu-but. Those kids in that school or
- 15:17you're like such bully. These terrible.
- 15:21But she does make some friends, like I need a darling.
- 15:26And Anita, darling is darling. I love her.
- 15:29She is darling. I wish she had been in the movie
- 15:31A little bit more. I really liked her character.
- 15:33Yeah. That she's under his character,
- 15:35but I think we'll get there. But also, sure, Jack is full of
- 15:40embellishments to. She has pins, she has buttons,
- 15:44she has bows She has a, she has lots of bobby pins.
- 15:48She has everything like honestly like that her her lapel full of
- 15:53the tens. Like that was my favorite.
- 15:56And then like she's got her Converses all like paint it like
- 15:59painted up like kids do today, right?
- 16:03And I'm like, you are really just like you're out here to do
- 16:06the most and I love it. I love it.
- 16:09But all of this being said the kind of leads to her.
- 16:12Yeah getting expelled but estella's Mom is Quickly like
- 16:16well actually she's withdrawn you can't expel.
- 16:19I love that her mom is her biggest cheerleader, right?
- 16:23She is however, her mother also recognizes her character
- 16:29defaults because, you know, because she's this outrageous
- 16:33person. She does have a little bit of a
- 16:34temper, so she does kind of like give it back to the kids serving
- 16:38it to her and one night when her and her mom are like sewing
- 16:42away. She's complaining about the kids
- 16:44and her mother's. That is cruel, you are cruel
- 16:48Ella and I'm like, oh there's our comes from, there's the day,
- 16:52I love her mother gives her her nickname and I was like, oh
- 16:56that's sweet, but I think I would have cried a lot if my
- 16:58mother called me that. But um but anyway her mother
- 17:05recognizes that this is not the place for her a small town.
- 17:10She sees that her daughter is going places and she's like,
- 17:14okay, Let's pack it up and go to London.
- 17:17We're going to London. I like we need to make a tiny
- 17:20tiny little little pit stop. And that's where everything goes
- 17:24downhill. I mean that's quite done under
- 17:26statement. Yeah, so they're driving down
- 17:29and she's like, oh Mom, you're wearing like your pretty dress,
- 17:33which is this gorgeous? Like, very kind of like, riding
- 17:37me a little bit of Dior, very do your at her oh her mother is
- 17:43played by Emily. The beach man who does a
- 17:47fantastic job? But I thought she was, um, for
- 17:53like the hottest of seconds. I thought she was on my gosh.
- 17:58Who's the woman in Jurassic Park?
- 18:01A drastic World Bryce Dallas? Howard, I thought she was Bryce
- 18:05Dallas. Howard.
- 18:09I was like, that's really weird that like Bryce Dallas.
- 18:11Howard would like take this role but I was like, oh wait.
- 18:15Nose and it don't be stupid. That's not her cousin just
- 18:18recently, watched Jurassic Park. So that's true.
- 18:22But like she has like the same color hair and like, kind of
- 18:25style, but I can see it. Yeah.
- 18:27But she's wearing this very cute.
- 18:29Like d, aurash little Ensemble and they pull into a massive
- 18:35estate which over the door says he'll Munhall.

- 18:54at Versailles. There are service people there
- 18:57kegs flowers. Everything's coming in now and
- 19:00Estella is just automatically like fascinating.
- 19:04Yeah, I don't blame her. As soon as I saw one costume, I
- 19:07was like, oh, that's an interesting interesting outfit
- 19:10for the 60s and then we again side and it's a full-on 18th
- 19:14century like French. Revolution costume party.
- 19:17Now I know what I'm doing for my birthday next year.

- 19:54to like a very important looking man.
- 19:56Played by, Mark Strong from such movies as Shazam, 1917, The
- 20:06Kingsmen, I love him. I don't know about you.
- 20:11I was really excited when I saw him.
- 20:13I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah, he did a great job in this
- 20:16role and I liked it a lot. It's like it's Merlin he's here.
- 20:22But of course, SLS trying to be, you know, Shrine to heís, trying
- 20:28to be good. She's trying.
- 20:29Not to let her impulsive tendencies get the better of
- 20:32her, but she just sees too many things that she cannot resist
- 20:38and goes into the party and it is a huge 18th century.
- 20:43French Revolution, fashion show, and it blew my mind.
- 20:48I know I was not expecting that. It was totally beautiful, Jenny,
- 20:52beavan costume designer. I just, I was speechless
- 20:56actually seeing this scene and this is like in the first what?
- 20:5910 minutes. Yeah.
- 21:01So I was like, if this how we're starting to movie like where we
- 21:04going from here? I mean that's what the bar so
- 21:08high. So high.
- 21:11And it's like Everyone likes is in the same like color scheme.
- 21:15Like the girls on the runway just are beautiful and perfect.
- 21:20It's Quite the scene to behold, but unfortunately, I still, I
- 21:25can't just like, sit on the side and her cute little schoolgirl
- 21:29uniform and watch things, cuz she brought her dog with her for
- 21:33whatever reason, we have to bring the dog everywhere.
- 21:35I mean, well the dog did Loki escape from her and the dog was
- 21:40really cute and so I I don't blame the dog for following her
- 21:43because just dog is cute and needs to be seen buddy.
- 21:48Buddy, buddies, adorable Buddies.
- 21:51But the dogs and this really take the cake, but she's chasing
- 21:57after buddy. Mark Strong sees her, he is on
- 22:02John the valet in this. That's right.
- 22:04John, the valet sees her in his like who is this Intruder?
- 22:08Like he looks really nice. He looks ready to like strangle
- 22:11her. So she's like oh oh oh gotta go
- 22:13get my dog and get out of here. So she's like running and then
- 22:17all of a sudden no wonder Cruella, doesn't like Dalmatians
- 22:20because she's got a Pack of three Dalmatians.
- 22:22Chasing her down like ready to tear her throat out.

- 22:47Elizabeth. Are you a dog person or a cat
- 22:50person? I'm a cat person.
- 22:55I don't get me wrong. I like dogs.
- 22:58Dogs are fine. I was terrified of dogs to.
- 23:01I was in college. I would it was no it wasn't a
- 23:06real problem. It was a real problem for very
- 23:10long time. In middle school I started to
- 23:13tolerate them. I was deathly deathly afraid of
- 23:17dogs Elementary School. Wow like get up on a chair freak
- 23:22out like I didn't want them touching me.
- 23:26I didn't want them licking me, my mom.

- 23:39Labrador, when I was very, very young and my mom thinks because
- 23:44she would like jump up on me when I was like, hmm, a very
- 23:48small little toddler. So my mom thinks that was the

- 24:20had any opinions of them, even being cute now I'm like oh like
- 24:24dogs are cute and cool. Yeah.
- 24:26If I ever have one, it will only be for protection.
- 24:31Well, I'm a dog person. I you are, tall person.
- 24:35I'm definitely a dog person. I appreciate cats from a
- 24:39distance, mostly because I'm allergic.
- 24:41So it's just that's not a situation.
- 24:43I try to get into, I do appreciate like a naked cat or a
- 24:48hairless cat. I should say, Nick, it make you
- 24:50feel weird. Are you think you think I just
- 24:55changed? They have different little
- 24:56further outfits. They put every day.
- 25:00They just like have little. Let me okay, I think I'm gonna
- 25:03be an orange cat with white stripes.
- 25:05Like oh, I should I be a black cat with Oak?
- 25:09White tray for right down the middle and just put a Skittle
- 25:13putting on a little black and white wigs and black leather
- 25:16Punk jacket. I think that's what you think
- 25:20cats do. All right, let's enough with the
- 25:24cats and not nice. Let's get out of this Mansion.
- 25:28Let's get back to the sets out of reality that Estella It is an
- 25:31orphan who just witnessed her mother's murder via a ravenous
- 25:35pack of dogs. So I still ends up making it to
- 25:40London. She goes to this Fountain.
- 25:43She's talking about with her mother.
- 25:45That was so sweet. Yeah.
- 25:49Sweet. Bitter.
- 25:50Sweet. Yeah.
- 25:51Because they talked about getting T at this Fountain and
- 25:53she's like, well, I'm here. Mom, but there's no T, but she
- 25:57does find her too soon to be new friends, Jasper.
- 26:01And Maurice does and through their dog wink.
- 26:06Very adore. Ali coming up and being like,
- 26:09what's going on here? I would like to do it.
- 26:11Podcast episode just about wink, the dog, who's wearing a little
- 26:15eye patch link has has some of the best outfits in this great.
- 26:21Like, Winx it like the whole wardrobe is amazing, but pay
- 26:25special attention to wink. Yes, definitely wink is a
- 26:28transgender yes. Trend server.
- 26:31So she dyes her hair red and turns into Emma Stone.
- 26:41Let me Sarah, she's dying her hair.
- 26:43I love the black and white hair so much.
- 26:46It was so good but it's like, you know, that's why I that's
- 26:50what a young kid would think is like, what they have to do is
- 26:54change who they are so fast forward to many years later, and
- 27:00like Elizabeth said, Emma Stone is now playing a Stella and
- 27:05she's all grown up and we see her in this black pinstripe
- 27:09suit. And I'm obsessed with this suit.
- 27:11It's already starting off. Well, we are, and they, the
- 27:15three of them have grown up to just like basically be grifters
- 27:19and con artists. And that's just that's just how
- 27:23they make their living, and it's adorable.
- 27:25How she makes all their disguises.
- 27:28I was like, oh, I know I love it.
- 27:31She's just sewing along all these disguises.
- 27:33She is see one outfit at with this disguise of a headband.
- 27:38That's so cute. Yeah, I love this one.
- 27:40This guy, she has for she's brain like this giant black
- 27:43furry muff with cheetah print over there pretending to be like
- 27:48Russia in the jewelry store. Looks like Moira Rose.
- 27:53I love it with the black fur and like, the, the chained.
- 28:01Good old fell and wink has like that little like plaid vest on
- 28:08even as she's screaming, like a really bad Russian accent.
- 28:13It's amazing. We could just end the movie
- 28:15right here and I would have been satisfied with what I've seen so
- 28:18far. I know I would have been like,
- 28:20okay cool and then one day she tries to kill puppies.
- 28:23Great. Um, she looks good.
- 28:26I also love their like um, there-there bus, they're little
- 28:31Bust Heist. Oh yeah.
- 28:32Where she, she has like the black pinstripe like pencil
- 28:37skirt suit, the gray. She looks very like, oh, don't
- 28:41mind me with her, like her Graco, and like, the little, the
- 28:45scarf tied around her chin, and the big glasses.
- 28:49That's so good. It is so good.
- 28:51And then like Jasper, right next to her, and just like a, that,
- 28:55from just plain tan with the bowler, ehat I'm like, oh, we're
- 28:59not suspicious out. Don't mind us.
- 29:03I don't think it's so cool. I love this idea of her being at
- 29:06home just kind of sewing all these disguises every night.
- 29:09It was like evil Project Runway I know because I feel like so
- 29:13many of these it's like oh yes I was doing this this and this but
- 29:15like I wanted something more out of my life and she's like I do
- 29:19want something more out of my life and she's still like she's
- 29:21very content. Hmm.
- 29:23Like I like that. She's not like I hate like being
- 29:27a grifter. She's like, no, this was cool.
- 29:29Like I got my family. I do what I love to do.
- 29:33It's not exactly what I wanted to do.
- 29:35Yeah. But I'm still doing it.
- 29:37So some costumes. I want to mention that this part
- 29:40first was Jasper's black shirt that has like this white trim on
- 29:44it. I love that shirt.
- 29:46He's comparing it with these plaid pants.
- 29:49She like, clearly just lets a Stella dress in, oh, obviously,
- 29:54totally. So, it's not like, I got a job
- 29:56and now she's gonna go work. At the Liberty store.
- 29:59The Pinnacle of Send in London. Oh yes.
- 30:04But it's not quite what she thought it would be, not quite
- 30:07but still, you know, it's not quite what she thought of me,
- 30:10because she's walking up to Liberty and, like, this really
- 30:13nice black outfit. She's wearing her little Beret.
- 30:16Looks very fashionable. And she gets there and she's a
- 30:21janitor. Yeah, so happy birthday.
- 30:25And she is constantly trying to get the attention of the D store
- 30:30manager. ER, because she knows she can do
- 30:33a good job with the windows or being on the floor but he's just
- 30:37like, did you clean what? I tell you to clean.
- 30:39Okay, cool. This man, I he gave me so much
- 30:44anxiety, that's just because I was like, oh my gosh, like he is
- 30:48gonna have a heart attack in two seconds.
- 30:51I know. I'd like he is so, like, stuffy
- 30:55and stressed out and like uptight.
- 30:58I'm like, how are you still alive?
- 31:00He's exhausted. Saying, but was not exhausting
- 31:03was the actual fashion. We saw walking through this
- 31:06building down to the restrooms that test of this cleaning.
- 31:12I mean like again Jenny, beavan design a costumes for the set
- 31:16and it felt like we were just looking at real footage from the
- 31:191970s Punk fashion. Well, the story isn't quite in
- 31:24quite Punk. It's a little more likeable man.
- 31:26Yeah, we're mainstream but it's still great.
- 31:31Like people are walking new. Now, the store they look like,
- 31:34oh I'm the fanciest dresser. These people are trying to be.
- 31:39They have beautiful outfits and as tired as she is to be
- 31:45cleaning everything. She, you can tell.
- 31:47She just feels like so lucky to be there until she gets until a
- 31:51little bit of trouble. Yeah.
- 31:53She's, you know, taking out the trash which by the way I loved,
- 31:57how they made her a little maid outfit.
- 31:59Look all trash and dirty, which you don't?
- 32:01See a lot in this movie. No, but she kind of gets drunk
- 32:06and is hanging out in the window display, which I thought, by the
- 32:09way the window displayed, I thought the dress looks very
- 32:11nice, but Estella doesn't like it.
- 32:14So, now I'm questioning my choices now.
- 32:16So she also by the time she's throwing those out.
- 32:20The door has closed and locked behind her.
- 32:22So she has no choice but to walk through the front of the store.
- 32:27Looking disgusting with a piece of banana on her face and just
- 32:31Horrify her boss even more. Yeah, her boss is already
- 32:35horrified because she totally redid the window display went to
- 32:38this really cool newspaper gown. This is that's after Spencer.
- 32:43Uh yeah so you're right. He's he's horrified sorry back
- 32:48up so he's horrified that she looks like a piece of trash
- 32:53walking through their store and is like my office.
- 32:58Now, pretty sure he's about to have a heart attack but we see I
- 33:01he's not having a heart attack. He's got that.
- 33:04Good. Good, whiskey.
- 33:05And a nice little, beautiful decanter.
- 33:07Yeah. And his office and he's like
- 33:09taking little shots all day. Apparently, I feel thirsty now,
- 33:13and she's like, I'm sorry. This like, this is my bad.
- 33:17Totally my bad. However, that that like this
- 33:21play out front is trash much like, how I look right now, I
- 33:25can do a better job and he's like, no.
- 33:28And she's like, okay, please just don't fire me.
- 33:30And he's like, Like oh no I'm not gonna fire you.
- 33:33You're just going to clean my my office top to bottom.
- 33:37So she's there and she lets her impulses get the better of her
- 33:41eye. She drinks all of his whiskey.
- 33:43Yeah. I mean I understand why she's
- 33:47doing this at this moment. I'm exhausted like her.
- 33:50I need a drink. Yeah.
- 33:52It's it's not it's not fun times for her right now and she's once
- 33:56again carrying a bag of trash through the store after close.
- 34:00She's the only one There, and she's like this window design.
- 34:05I'm going to make this better and next thing she knows she's
- 34:08asleep in the window. Oh, with a beautiful display
- 34:13around her. It looks so good, though.
- 34:16Like, I don't know how she wasn't standing out there, just
- 34:19ready to present like a good school project.
- 34:21She was, I know it came out. So nice.
- 34:26We're gonna notice a lot of newspaper being used at this
- 34:29movie to lots of Rash. Lots of trash.
- 34:33It's a very trashy movie and a good way.
- 34:35Yeah. And the best way possible.
- 34:38Yeah. But um, basically her boss is
- 34:43just like no, yeah, this is done.
- 34:46You need to go. Yeah, you need to go, but who
- 34:49shows up, who shows up Spencer the baroness shows up and when I
- 34:54tell you I was sick. I was sick the first time you
- 34:58see Emma Thompson. The baroness is Wearing this
- 35:01huge. Golden shawl, collar coat
- 35:06glasses with this gold. Trim.
- 35:09Everything about us, right her. She loves like a big solid
- 35:13collar. You'll see this.
- 35:14And she also likes as, like, cool, like beehive type.
- 35:18It's not like they're not actual bee hives, but it gives that
- 35:22same like a fact. And it's like, only Eva Thompson
- 35:26could pull that off. Yeah, I mean she looks snatched
- 35:29every time you see her, she'll Just every time you see Emma
- 35:32Thompson, I'm in slow. Its, that's a kind of the story
- 35:36of this movie when you see a Stella versus Emma Thompson.
- 35:39You like, oh she looks amazing. Oh no, actually, she looks
- 35:42amazing. Oh wait, no, actually she looks
- 35:44amazing. And it's, that's like the story
- 35:46of this movie. Yeah.
- 35:49So she walks in and immediately, the managers like, oh my gosh.
- 35:54I'm so sorry. I know the the displays awful.
- 35:58It's terrible and she just wants to know like who did this.
- 36:01Sign me and he's like she's fired.
- 36:03She's over there but she's fired like don't worry about.
- 36:05We're going to fix the situation and I'm at Thompson's like you
- 36:08fired her. He's like, yes, absolutely, of
- 36:11course you fired her. It's all good and she's like,
- 36:13okay, Assistant gave her my card.
- 36:16She's hired, she loves the display.
- 36:20I love this if tall if only that's how real life worked.
- 36:23I know. She's just like oh, you're an
- 36:26angel. She tells him.
- 36:27He's an idiot. He's just like, oh yes.
- 36:28Yes of course I am. Yeah, you're definitely An idiot
- 36:32Estella gets out of there. She goes back home with her
- 36:35chosen family, and she's getting ready for her first day.
- 36:39But of course, before we do that horse is trying out the some of
- 36:44the garments that he stole from the store.
- 36:46He's a strain on like this cheetah print.
- 36:48Curious. I I love that shows a good one.
- 36:54Yeah, he did. She's a good one.
- 36:56Well I think before she starts her first day at the house of
- 37:00the baroness, I think you and I should take a break.
- 37:03I think we should welcome back. We need water and I need to go
- 37:10throw some pennies in the fountain outside my house.
- 37:13So when we come back, we're going to work.
- 37:16Yeah. All right.
- 37:37Well, we're back back in Elizabeth.
- 37:41Are you ready to go to work? I am ready to go to work.
- 37:44And I'm Godly, our just like every creative person in the
- 37:48world. Yes, 5 a.m. he said don't be
- 37:52late. Okay?
- 37:54So today is the Stella's first day at the house of baroness and
- 38:00just walking into this building. It's already, it's already
- 38:04giving me everything I need. Even the mannequins are serving.
- 38:07Some real. Looks just walking into the
- 38:09building. They really are and like, you
- 38:11can immediately tell she dressed up for her first day.
- 38:14Oh yeah, all black little Beret and she just fits right in your
- 38:21like, oh, you're where you belong now?
- 38:23Oh, yeah. I'm getting so much D or just
- 38:26scan from this building. It feels very dear to me.
- 38:29Absolutely, one thing I did love about the house of baroness was
- 38:35that everyone was wearing white gowns at White, almost like lab
- 38:40coats, which is really typical of a modern-day Couture house.
- 38:45Yeah. And I think it was even more
- 38:48common back then, that all this seamstresses and The other
- 38:54crafts people would wear their lab coats.
- 38:57Yeah, it's actually one of the requirements I believe.
- 39:01I don't know if it still is, but to label yourself a Couture
- 39:04house. One of the specification is, is
- 39:07that in your attlee a Atelier? I'm telling, you must have an
- 39:12Atelier in Paris and employ at least 20, train seems just
- 39:16seamstresses and it was common, almost required to be sporting
- 39:22work coats. Or Is kind of a lab coats
- 39:24because they considered sewing and creating garments to be a
- 39:29science, which is why they were those codes.
- 39:32Absolutely is what you. And I know both of them.
- 39:38Yeah we do. I mean like the the math that
- 39:43goes into patterning and sewing. It's a science.
- 39:49Yeah, it's not easy being a designer.
- 39:51So shout out to all the designers costume designers
- 39:54seamstresses pattern, makers, Tanner makers.
- 39:58Amen. You're doing the Lord's work
- 40:00your and we love you hear the podcast.
- 40:03So Estella makes it into the house baroness and it's
- 40:07instantly to me overwhelming. I know it's like to be you know,
- 40:12that feeling that's your first day of the job but this place
- 40:15Takes it to a different level. Yeah, nobody's saying.
- 40:18Hi to her. It's just like, oh, you're here.
- 40:21Go work. I'm starting to think that
- 40:23you're not allowed to say hi here.
- 40:26I know. Oh, my gosh.
- 40:30And then like, when she walked one, the baroness walks in
- 40:34looking fabulous and everybody freaks out.
- 40:38Oh yeah, she's walks in wearing this dark green suit with a
- 40:41large bow and this head wrap. And she looks stunning.
- 40:46Of course she does Emma Thompson.
- 40:49Kills this role. She really does.
- 40:52And I mean I feel like I'm more used to seeing her as like she's
- 40:56usually one of the good guys but man can she play a villain?
- 41:01Oh yeah she's good at it. She's bad at it and in good good
- 41:04kind of way. Yeah.
- 41:08So this next scene, I was excited to talk to you about was
- 41:11same scene as excited to talk to you about this because it gave
- 41:14me see Is flashbacks of being back.
- 41:16Oh my gosh FM, where we had to create something and line it up
- 41:22on the dress form and wait for critique and wasn't as traumatic
- 41:26as this. No Emma Thompson didn't walk by
- 41:29us and try to cut us with a knife.
- 41:31No, the Phantom instructors, were much Kinder in their
- 41:36constructive criticism, very much Kinder.
- 41:39I was never cut, but it did kind of take me back.
- 41:42I know what it's like to sit there and just have your meant
- 41:45critiques in front of an entire room of people.
- 41:48I did have um, I did have a pattern teacher who this this
- 41:57scene gave me the most fives back to her, her pattern class
- 42:01because it was pattern to, and I had had a very, like, chill
- 42:04teacher, the class before that like the semester before that
- 42:09he'd been very chill and he was kind of like, I don't really
- 42:12play by the rules because he was lovely and British.
- 42:16Um, and then we go into her class and she's just like this,
- 42:20very hard, like, Eastern European woman, who was like,
- 42:24what did you all like? Cuz apparently, none of us were
- 42:27like, up to par. Oh gosh!
- 42:30Not a single one of us because a lot of those people had been in
- 42:33my previous class. She was like, so confused and
- 42:38like, was really just like, what are you all doing?
- 42:41And then quickly realize we just needed like Refreshers and was
- 42:44very kind of it. That was like, that was the
- 42:46closest I've ever had. So like being cut by Emma
- 42:50Thompson, being cut by him a Thompson's and the things she
- 42:53says, as she walks with people's garments, she literally calls
- 42:56one person's foolish. She tell someone that their
- 42:59dress is unhinged unhinge and straight up fires that you're
- 43:04fired. What it's like drops his head.
- 43:09Yeah. He's like yeah, I am fired.
- 43:11I'm stupid. But Estella creates this really
- 43:14nice. This green dress with this
- 43:17shoulder, kind of flew onto the fabric.
- 43:20Of course, Emma comes up and just cuts it right off, which I
- 43:23was kind of confused by. I liked it with the shoulder.
- 43:26Yeah, but she's so distracted, too, because so she cuts it off
- 43:31and in the process like gives em a ton, Emma Stone a little by
- 43:35little Cuddy, cut them like holds her hand.
- 43:39It was like we need this color. It's the color of her blood.
- 43:42It's like, oh my gosh. Tone it down there, it's heard a
- 43:46way I almost expected. Like one of the Dyers to come up
- 43:50and like take a little sample, they probably did, they just
- 43:54probably didn't show us what a crazy first day at Stella
- 44:00leaves, you know it's been a long day and she ends up going
- 44:05to visit them. A wonderful little vintage shop
- 44:09in London. And in society, I loved our tea
- 44:13party was Our team is so great. He's very pumped.
- 44:19Like, they're you punk gives me very like 1970s Ziggy.
- 44:24Stardust Vibes. David Bowie.
- 44:27Absolutely. He has to be like the main
- 44:30inspiration for this character. Oh yeah.
- 44:33Well, he's got like a red vest cheetah print his eye.
- 44:38Makeups. Like a little like one eye is
- 44:39like very like, you know he has like very thick eyeliner.
- 44:43The other ones, the same very thick.
- 44:44Sir, but like with some little like flares around it and I'm
- 44:47like, oh my goodness, you are a work of art.
- 44:53I would totally shop here to this place.
- 44:55Looks sick. I know.
- 44:57And it still is wearing that this kind of dark green jacket,
- 45:01and it has like this Punk graffiti on the sleeves is kind
- 45:04of faint but you can kind of get a good look at it.
- 45:07And so once again another brilliant jacket yeah, on this
- 45:12Stella so that was fun meeting already.
- 45:15But it's time to go back to work.
- 45:18Maybe this is her break, I don't know.
- 45:20And so he cuts it a scene and the baroness walks in and his
- 45:25shoulder Cape dress with a another headdress.
- 45:28This look is amazing, but you don't even have time to focus on
- 45:32it because the baroness instantly is like you that I
- 45:35need you to pick up my lunch and shouts.
- 45:37The most complicated order. All I heard from it is seven
- 45:42leaves of parsley. That's right, I did.
- 45:45Shredded the I already screwed it up.
- 45:47I'm fired. You would have been fired.
- 45:50I wouldn't we all we both would have been fired.
- 45:52Estelle had it all down, but I would have just went home.
- 45:56I broke down in tears and left. Oh my gosh.
- 46:02Write it down. She just gets up and is like,
- 46:04okay, I like where I would be like where do I go?
- 46:07Is like, is there? This is a huge place.
- 46:09Is there a kitchen? Is there like a little store
- 46:11around the corner that you like 17 that leaves?
- 46:15See, literally in this Meal, which I don't, you know what,
- 46:17the meal is, because I didn't hear everything.
- 46:20It's like, some sort of salad, what she was Estella in said,
- 46:25salad, alleged salad, counting the parsley leaves.
- 46:29Probably she probably stood there and watched the person got
- 46:33it and like she had specific requirements.
- 46:35For health in her cucumbers were to be, it was insane.
- 46:39She was sobbing, all sorts of math instructions and I was
- 46:43exhausted. Oh my God, that building and
- 46:49never come back. Yeah, I gotta go.
- 46:52So the baroness has a meeting go with if this to my lawyer.
- 46:59Oh oh no choice just is two other guys.
- 47:02I'm not even sure what they do. So it's these it's Steve's to a
- 47:07department store guys. They run department stores and
- 47:11they're trying to tell her that like she's Stop and like they're
- 47:17either not going to carry her suffer anymore, they're going to
- 47:19carry less of her stuff. I was kind of confused on like
- 47:22what exactly they were kind of like it's house threatening her
- 47:26with, but she's like, oh no, a like, basically, like your
- 47:32stores are trash and like nobody's coming into them.
- 47:35So that's why my stuff isn't selling because you're not doing
- 47:39your job to make your stores look good and get people in
- 47:43them. So she was Like don't try and
- 47:45blame this on me. I did my research of why I'm not
- 47:48doing well and it's your fault. Yeah, I mean you kind of put a
- 47:52nice spin on it, she said all that but then she's also like
- 47:56and you're short. You're stupid.
- 47:58You're ugly. Get out of like she's, she's
- 48:01straight up and salsa. I wrote this correct.
- 48:16It's even like, I was like oh that's hurtful okay.
- 48:21And then we're saved because Estella walks in with the
- 48:26mysterious meal with the seven leaves of parsley.
- 48:30Shredded leaves, yes. And the baroness says, oh
- 48:35finally someone around here. That's competent.
- 48:37Yeah. But someone crashes in the room
- 48:42and it's her lawyer, Roger, and I labeled this scene nand or the
- 48:48nandor the incompetent because Elizabeth do, you know, who
- 48:52plays a larger and they, and or apparently, according to you, I
- 48:56was okay, even a Novak who plays nand or and what we do in the
- 49:02shadows. It was like, guys, you should
- 49:04have seen how should I was like 3 minutes ago when I put?
- 49:09Well, I saw his comments and was like, oh, that character's name
- 49:13is Nan Dora. I'm thinking, oh, that's
- 49:14strange. And he's like, no Sabbath.
- 49:16No, it's not. Yeah, we had a whole moment
- 49:19before we got back to recording and I was just like, I don't
- 49:23know how you couldn't recognize him, but I guess he wasn't
- 49:25wearing his vampire gown and long.
- 49:27Yeah things. Yeah, he looks very different
- 49:32like heat, like he's not putting on the accent like there's a
- 49:37good scene. It was a great scene.
- 49:39And so she's not exactly sure why he was there but it's a
- 49:42great scene. I'm not too sure what the part
- 49:46rods are plays in this story. Like they don't do anything
- 49:50legal related except for a will at some point.
- 49:56But I'm not even sure frauds or has anything to do with that
- 49:59because they've lost over real quick.
- 50:01The gloss over it. Of course we do a call back to
- 50:04Ron sure at the end this film but I think we'll talk about
- 50:07that later. But yeah, like I wit like this
- 50:11is why I like DVDs because I know you got all those good like
- 50:17deleted scenes. And I'm like, how many?
- 50:19Because like they must have paid him.
- 50:21Like a pretty penny. For sure.
- 50:23Like how many deleted scenes of him?
- 50:24Are there? I bet you this a ton because
- 50:27they do. Yeah, that's one character.
- 50:28I wish we explored a little bit more.
- 50:31So Estella and the baroness go on a car ride and they end up at
- 50:37the baroness's home. And Estelle has been doing
- 50:41sketches for the baroness and the this entire time, like
- 50:45things have progressed quickly in a cell is career.
- 50:48So the baroness is getting dressed in her room.
- 50:51Estella still sketching. The baroness is yelling commands
- 50:55at her while she's getting dressed.
- 50:57She can't stop and the cell is just sitting here sketching
- 50:59away. Yeah, the baroness is having her
- 51:02power nap and then they are off. They're off to get in the car
- 51:08and now she's eating this I live.
- 51:09So the sounds probably wilted a little bit.
- 51:12So she went through all this work and it's not even a fresh
- 51:15salad anymore. That was the greatest tragedy of
- 51:17this film. That this is a tragedy estella's
- 51:23sketching and the baroness loves to sketch.
- 51:27You know, she's actually kind of like oh this girl's actually
- 51:31can't, she's like she's putting her in put in but also accepting
- 51:35estella's Vision which is a good sign.
- 51:38If you're a Ella. Yeah, we get to the baroness's
- 51:41mansion and the baroness needs to start changing into another
- 51:46outfit but she doesn't give anyone a break.
- 51:49She's still yelling commands over to Estella while she's
- 51:52getting dressed telling her to make her dress fit like this and
- 51:58as. So let's just sketching away.
- 52:00Always sketching, always sketching.
- 52:02Always always sketching. The baroness is wearing this
- 52:07really brilliant. Gold dress.
- 52:09Her colors are definitely gold and Browns, dark greens.
- 52:15Yeah, they definitely are. They are burning coal.
- 52:18Jenny beavan wanted it's very much stand out from what would
- 52:24be, you know, Cruella's like black and white and it's also
- 52:29like she's a, she's a lady of matured years.
- 52:33So a little bit of brown and gold goes well with her.
- 52:37It looks good on her, she's always Giving me she feels very
- 52:41Dior inspired like it had about the Couture house earlier but
- 52:45she's giving me a lot of Dior Vibes, very chic, very put
- 52:49together and as they're talking Estella looks up and she's like
- 52:55oh that's weird! My mother's family heirloom is
- 52:59around This Woman's neck. Yeah.
- 53:04Weird coincidence. Yeah, she's like oh, excuse me.
- 53:08How did you come about that? And Emma, Thompson is like, oh,
- 53:14it's a family heirloom, this, this mate of mine tried to steal
- 53:19it but then she came back and I retrieved it and I just love her
- 53:26so she's like, no, she didn't steal it.
- 53:27And she's like, she immediately is like, oh wait, Wrong delivery
- 53:33and says that out loud. I'm just changing she did.
- 53:37Oh no, she knows she knows the truth.
- 53:40She knows the truth. Yeah, this whole thing was put
- 53:44together very quickly and astellas head, she knows how the
- 53:48whole night went right away. So before we leave the scene, I
- 53:53want to talk about estella's outfit.
- 53:54Real quick, though, she has these, she's wearing is all
- 53:57black outfit with these like crossbody straps.
- 54:01Maybe it's a lapel. Going across her chest again and
- 54:04that looks so good. It does.
- 54:06It does look so good. Estella runs home to go see
- 54:10Jasper and Horace and she was like oh remember that lady?
- 54:13I work for now, she killed me mum.
- 54:16Yeah she's dead. Yeah and instantly Horace is
- 54:22like well there's dangle and they get right to work.
- 54:26They do she's like she wants to be at that house now because she
- 54:30knows where they keep the jewels.
- 54:32Oh yeah, she doesn't hesitate for a second.
- 54:35So the next day at work or a couple days later at work, the
- 54:39baroness is laying down in this white gown using the Cucumbers
- 54:43from her very complicated salad. We go.
- 54:46Okay, you do this everyday, great to take a nine minute.
- 54:50Power nap, I believe is the time she set, which can you take a
- 54:53power nap in nine minutes? Elizabeth, I can barely take a
- 54:56powered off in an hour. Yeah, and a nine minute nap, I
- 54:59would feel like hell right after that.
- 55:03If I fall asleep during the day, I never feel ya.
- 55:06Great app store, water with me as I don't know how she's doing
- 55:11this every day. Estella's, wearing this great
- 55:14outfit with this gold metallic tie.
- 55:17Okay, this gold metallic Ty gave me flashbacks.
- 55:21So working to the job. I worked in college.
- 55:24Oh no. What do you do sold almost well
- 55:29actually, I don't think I ever sold it.
- 55:30I think it was still there so I do Very strange job in college.
- 55:34I really liked it, but it was very odd.
- 55:36We were like, kind of a secondhand store, but not
- 55:38really. But one of the things that just
- 55:41hung around forever was a tie that looked exactly like that.
- 55:46Oh my gosh, today the tie the tie but instead of like it being
- 55:51like a plate and then a bead, a plate and then Abby do is just
- 55:54like play after play after plate.
- 55:55And I'm like someone bought that it took it and they just
- 55:59replaced every other plate with beads.
- 56:01I was just And now it's on Emma Stone snack.
- 56:05Yeah. Would not be shocked if it was
- 56:08the same necklace but also really hope it's not as
- 56:12telescoping out the house. Trying to figure out where this
- 56:16family heirloom is, she's trying to like figure out the security
- 56:19system, like, who's we're like she's take she's getting in till
- 56:25on the baroness and there's this great Montage in here.
- 56:32Of how the baroness takes out people from her parties that she
- 56:39does that look like I love this thing.
- 56:42Like if they're not dressed, right?
- 56:44If they're too pretty, if they're too old a guard, just
- 56:48tackles them. Yeah, it's not like, excuse me,
- 56:51ma'am. I'm gonna have to ask you to
- 56:53leave. Its full-on football, tackle.
- 56:55Its football tackle, and I'm just like, how does this not
- 56:58create more of a scene? Thanks so much.
- 57:02How do you like not have people like saying declining
- 57:07invitations. All of this is in preparation
- 57:10for the infamous black and white party.
- 57:12Which I think this is one of my favorite scenes of the entire
- 57:16movie. My gosh, it is, it is so good.
- 57:20And they're like, okay, this is where we're going to make our
- 57:22move. Horace is gonna pose as like an
- 57:26exterminator to get into the room.
- 57:30We have to talk about the best costume of The entire movie.
- 57:33Yes, we'll get there Jasper, he's going to be like the
- 57:37techie. He's basically like their Tech
- 57:39Guy and Cruella's going to be the distraction.
- 57:45So they're like okay this is a heist movie now and it is great.
- 57:51And so this scene actually has what Jenny beavan considers to
- 58:00be her favorite. And I mean, I gotta say like,
- 58:04this is an extraordinary piece. It is well deserved to be her
- 58:09favorite costume. It is Winx rat outfit.
- 58:18I love that costume. So much.
- 58:20It is so cute. He's like the rat.
- 58:24Horse is supposed to be Exterminating.
- 58:27It's so cute. It's so cute.
- 58:30So cute and interview with Vanity Fair.
- 58:32She Was asked, she's like, she was asked like, you know, which
- 58:35of the looks. She felt that she liked the most
- 58:39and like, encapsulated her vibe. And she said, I quote from
- 58:43Vanity Fair article, I'm very fond of Winx rat costume.
- 58:49I am also very fond of that costume.
- 58:52He looks so cute. He looks she steals the scene
- 58:56really does until Emma Stone steals the scene.
- 59:00Yeah, but when he deserves his moment, I I want a dog just so I
- 59:03could dress them up as a rat. Yeah, fair that.
- 59:07It was very few. Have a dog in the other room.
- 59:09You can make this happen. That's not my dog, that's fair.
- 59:14But as you were saying, Emma Stone does kind of steal the
- 59:17scene though. Yes, she waits to come in till
- 59:23the last moment. She's wearing billowing.
- 59:27White Cape basically. And everyone turns to her
- 59:33because they're like oh who is this?
- 59:37She works at the mall. She drops a match.
- 59:41She lights and drops a match on to herself and I was like, oh my
- 59:44gosh! Where is this about to go?
- 59:47This is a Disney movie that white Cape burns up to reveal
- 59:54her beautiful red gown, which we have to have to go back a little
- 59:59bit, because one of the reasons she originally stopped and argue
- 1:00:02store was because part of this beautiful red gown was in the
- 1:00:09window as a baroness original. So she was like, I'm going to
- 1:00:14take this and she reworks it into something, she feels looks
- 1:00:20much better. And the dress is actually
- 1:00:24inspired by a Charles drink. Excuse me, Charles James tree
- 1:00:31dress. I have that Linked In My Notes
- 1:00:33if you want to take Look at it from 1955.
- 1:00:37It's it's beautiful. It has that same kind of very
- 1:00:40fitted. Fitted bodice that goes into
- 1:00:43almost like a mermaid skirt at the bottom.
- 1:00:47It's beautiful. It has like that.
- 1:00:49Um, that Twisted look and was named after one of his clients.
- 1:00:56So that was the inspiration for this one.
- 1:00:59It's a stunning. It's a stunning gown.
- 1:01:02Yeah, I love it. It's just it's just like like
- 1:01:05she likes, she likes her, her cape on fire, but then like she
- 1:01:10is the fire. She is, she's there to burn
- 1:01:14down. Estella is fire.
- 1:01:18Well I guess she's kind of In This Moment.
- 1:01:20Cruella she is grilling this moment.
- 1:01:22She's gone back to her original like black and white hair.
- 1:01:28She has she has the mask on so nobody can tell it's her.
- 1:01:34For some just like it's one of those things around like hat and
- 1:01:36uh well I the hair really, I guess puts you off.
- 1:01:40But I'm like is it really really that unnoticeable speaking of
- 1:01:45masks the baroness is also, worrying is sickening Alpha.
- 1:01:48She's wearing the screw really great black and white gown.
- 1:01:51Yeah, a matching kind of like you said.
- 1:01:53It's not a beehive but this really nice up.
- 1:01:56Do. Yes, Twisted black and white.
- 1:01:59Yes. And that trust was created by
- 1:02:06Bevin. And it was her assistant
- 1:02:10designer in Wallace that created a stylish dress for that scene.
- 1:02:18Congratulations, Ian Wallace because that's I think top
- 1:02:21three. One of my favorite costumes from
- 1:02:23this film. Yeah, I found that in an article
- 1:02:26from RTE. I didn't say like how it seems
- 1:02:31like their collaboration was pretty close.
- 1:02:34But I was like, ooh, look at you.
- 1:02:36I'm like, what else? But I'll see you doing.
- 1:02:39Oh, just one character do want to mention who's at the party,
- 1:02:42which is none other than Anita darling, who?
- 1:02:46Yes, a small role. But every time you see her, she
- 1:02:49really just kind of captures the camera.
- 1:02:51She's beautiful like popped up like right before I Stella walks
- 1:02:54in and it's like the baroness clearly knows her she's like I
- 1:02:59guess the Pyaar mein PR person for the baroness.
- 1:03:04Just through a series of unfortunate for your choices on
- 1:03:10Anita's part. But like she's, you know, she's
- 1:03:15in dress code but she has a tiny little like blue spot on her
- 1:03:19bag, right? And the baroness like is like,
- 1:03:23can't have this. And she's like, that's, I need
- 1:03:25that for my work and she's like, that's no excuse and I was like,
- 1:03:29oh hmm. Fair enough.
- 1:03:31So this party is extravagant. It looks amazing, but things
- 1:03:35quickly. Go haywire when Horace gets
- 1:03:38captured. Yes, but wink, that's get away.
- 1:03:41So we have Surat situation. Yeah so you know as far as
- 1:03:48creating a distraction and basically beating up her
- 1:03:50security team while Horace is breaking into the jewel Vault
- 1:03:56with, with Jasper's assistance and things are, just not going
- 1:04:01well, because Jasper are is constantly being The Siege by
- 1:04:06rats. So, when Horace gets captured,
- 1:04:10he takes those rats because he's stressed as a Say as a waiter he
- 1:04:13takes the rats upstairs in a little, you know, covered plate,
- 1:04:19puts it in front of the baroness and Estella opens it up to
- 1:04:24reveal the rats and create utter chaos in which they escape
- 1:04:28chaos. I mean this and this isn't even
- 1:04:31estella's. First time, Korean chaos of the
- 1:04:33house, a baroness at the Mansion of the billionaire, entire
- 1:04:38security Squad, she did with the cane, I was like, Well is she
- 1:04:43really that strong? You guys can't grab her right,
- 1:04:46but things go quickly. A mess and in the chaos buddy
- 1:04:54estella's dog, grabs the heirloom.
- 1:04:58But then the baroness grabs her dog whistle and she then summons
- 1:05:02The Rage of these evil-looking Dalmatians.
- 1:05:05And can that moment these poor poor Dalmatians but it's in this
- 1:05:10moment that Cruella. Ella realizes that the baroness
- 1:05:14is responsible for killing as Stella's mom.
- 1:05:17Yes, she is. Horrified, as was, I, I was
- 1:05:21like, these are some scary looking death, but, um, In that
- 1:05:27same chaos, the dogs end up eating the heirloom necklace.
- 1:05:33I know it was like no that was that was like gotta I guess we
- 1:05:38gotta kidnap the dogs now and she's like, okay we gotta create
- 1:05:43a plan but then you know the baroness is pissed so they end
- 1:05:48up getting in a car chase. Then again, that's that's a car
- 1:05:52chase except they're not really being chased.
- 1:05:54Yeah. But as Gorillas driving like the
- 1:05:57entire worlds after her but so she's just speeding through the
- 1:06:00Streets of London and a car that's very similar to the car.
- 1:06:04We know from the cartoons, the Cruella de Vil car.
- 1:06:08Yes. And krill just hops out of their
- 1:06:12turns around to Jasper and Horace and it's like she killed
- 1:06:16my mom and things are about to get real dark real.
- 1:06:20Real dark. I think before things get too
- 1:06:23dark, maybe you and I should take a break.
- 1:06:26I know I need a little bit of dinner.
- 1:06:27I'm hungry. Okay, it's Elizabeth's, can go
- 1:06:31get her dinner and we'll get back to work.
- 1:06:53Remember back from break and Elizabeth.
- 1:06:56It's the morning after the black and white party.
- 1:06:59It is it is and she is like she's Cruella now.
- 1:07:04He's out for Revenge. Estella is no longer in the
- 1:07:08chat. It's full Cruella right now.
- 1:07:10Yeah, she's just like, mmm, this is here to stay and we got to
- 1:07:16steal those dogs. Horace is in, Jasper has
- 1:07:20reservation but he's supporting his girl just for definitely has
- 1:07:25reservations but you know Krill has kind of a persuasive person
- 1:07:30so he's going to go for it. Kirill has wearing this all
- 1:07:34Black vinyl outfit and she's doing that contrasting red
- 1:07:38lipstick kind of giving me Edward Scissorhands Vibes at
- 1:07:41this moment. She's like this is where she's
- 1:07:45clearly first like a little unhinged like I definitely
- 1:07:51Edward Scissorhands Vibes. But like with that red lip, I
- 1:07:54kind of get Joker Vibes, especially when she goes to give
- 1:07:58a little visit visit to Anita and she is just a little like
- 1:08:07Not not in a great space. No she really stands out when
- 1:08:11she visits Anita darling. She's basically like hey I know
- 1:08:15you're tired of covering the baroness.
- 1:08:18I think it's time I give you some stuff.
- 1:08:20Yeah and to actually cover I thought that in a nicer way but
- 1:08:24and she's like I'll give you some better stuff to cover and
- 1:08:27like we're going to have fun doing it.
- 1:08:30Oh yeah. And this takes us into a weird
- 1:08:33couple scenes. First we With the Dalmatians.
- 1:08:38Having a really quite lovely spa day.
- 1:08:40Yeah. Is it like those dogs?
- 1:08:41No wonder they kill on command. If they are pampered, they're
- 1:08:45pampered. They're having like their whole
- 1:08:47spa day. They have little bubbles on
- 1:08:49their head, they look really cute.
- 1:08:53Like I was like, oh, hello. You want to plant this and with
- 1:08:59the help of wink, our favorite, dog, horse isn't kidnapping the
- 1:09:05dogs along with Jasper. I just don't know, I can't
- 1:09:08remember Jasper's. They, I keep thinking, like, who
- 1:09:12Kelis? He's almost man horse does bring
- 1:09:16up the fact that he feels like, you know, you've heard that
- 1:09:19saying that owners sometimes look like their dogs.
- 1:09:22Do you feel like that's to be true?
- 1:09:24Um, Yes or no? Like I would say that's more
- 1:09:31true for fancy dogs. Like, I feel like the more money
- 1:09:36you put into obtaining, your animal, the more likely, they
- 1:09:39are to look like you. That's a fair statement.
- 1:09:43I don't know. I have lots of thoughts and
- 1:09:47feelings about purchasing and I'm adopted.
- 1:09:51Don't buy adopt, support. Your local ASPCA.
- 1:09:56Preferably support your local. No-kill shelter, exactly.
- 1:10:01Acrylic takes this time to go visit our T1 less time already.
- 1:10:05Doesn't realize that Estella and krill are the same person
- 1:10:09because he's like, oh, wow, it's you and Carlos, like it's still.
- 1:10:16Alright, you take a second to talk about our T's makeup.
- 1:10:19I love Artie. He's great.
- 1:10:22However, there are two or three Times in this film where he only
- 1:10:27has eye makeup on one eye. It is the most distracting thing
- 1:10:31ever. Just look I'm just like, like
- 1:10:37where's his other? I like it just blood because
- 1:10:41they're both wearing like very pale foundation, very Punk,
- 1:10:46which is fine, but I'm like, he has one eye whereas the other
- 1:10:49one like it distracted, me so badly.
- 1:10:55This is a very kind of inspired by Ziggy Stardust from the 1970s
- 1:11:00David Bowie would sometimes only where, you know, the eye makeup
- 1:11:04on one side of his face, that is definitely what they're going
- 1:11:07for. I mean, I'm sure however, my
- 1:11:13Elizabeth Tendencies doesn't like, oh yeah, my poor sculpture
- 1:11:21teacher in high school. She was constantly making me do
- 1:11:25things a certain Symmetrically. My just wanted everything to
- 1:11:29like, these are balanced. It's fair to say that Elizabeth
- 1:11:35to not corrupt in a 1970s Punk. Resolution to be in Westwood and
- 1:11:40David Bowie, know the Sex Pistols.
- 1:11:44I didn't I didn't. It was very distracting to me.
- 1:11:51Well I think Artie looks great in this snakeskin.
- 1:11:54Top do this Our. Yes, this costume is brilliant.
- 1:11:58His outfits on point, like, you walk into his store and it's
- 1:12:02like, oh yes, of course, he's the owner.
- 1:12:04Why? There's never any question about
- 1:12:08what he does and how he does it. This brings us back to the
- 1:12:11baroness and she's kind of really pissed.
- 1:12:14She's like everyone's been laughing at me, over his korilla
- 1:12:17thing. Little does a baroness know that
- 1:12:21karela is about to really take things up and temperature.
- 1:12:25Yeah. She's, like, she's annoyed.
- 1:12:28But it's like, oh, honey. This is only the beginning.
- 1:12:31So we end up at this red carpet. The baroness is in this giant
- 1:12:35white gown with this, Liberace type collar, it's huge behind
- 1:12:39her, and she's really stealing the show.
- 1:12:42But then she hears a motorcycle and a distance.
- 1:12:46The baroness is stealing the show at a red carpet.
- 1:12:49She's wearing this white gown with just huge.
- 1:12:52Liberace type moment behind her. Oh my gosh.
- 1:12:55This was really like like talked about like Dior inspired and was
- 1:13:02also very um hold on. Let me look at his up his name
- 1:13:06real quick. I just this is probably perfect.
- 1:13:10Charles Frederick worth. Oh yeah.
- 1:13:13That there was something. I was like yeah it's very do or
- 1:13:15but there was something else to it.
- 1:13:17Very Charles Frederick worth like with that just the opulence
- 1:13:23of it, the sleeve. Yeah, I totally see what you're
- 1:13:26saying, it's very that, it's that next with the your, it's
- 1:13:31beautiful. Beautiful, very beautiful.
- 1:13:34I'm like, can I have that? We're thinking at this moment,
- 1:13:37how can the baroness be upstaged?
- 1:13:40The karela has something in mind.
- 1:13:42She shows up in a motorcycle, which something that I feel like
- 1:13:47we're going to be talking about, on the show.
- 1:13:49Is how motorcycles and make people look more attractive?
- 1:13:53Oh yes. Oh yes, Krillin gets off of this
- 1:13:59motorcycle. She's has this, she's looking
- 1:14:02hot, Smoky, she has this makeup. Look, that says to Future.
- 1:14:08Yeah, and she, she is The future.
- 1:14:10She is like I'm just here to make a statement and leave.
- 1:14:13She gets out of there in her. I might like that motorcycle
- 1:14:17jacket, all the like the embossing on it.
- 1:14:20The like big shoulders. I was like, yes girl, that the
- 1:14:24pants with like the gold sequins and the black stripes I was
- 1:14:29like, oh my gosh, like jacket, is it?
- 1:14:33It is a, I'm like can I please have this her sparkly red?
- 1:14:40Blair. So like I love you know me, I
- 1:14:43love a good red lip so I love how much they leaned into that.
- 1:14:46Do you do like a good red lip? And she's there, she steals the
- 1:14:51scene and she like you said, she just leaves she steals.
- 1:14:54The scene leaves has this huge like visual effects moment on
- 1:14:58the side of the building, where they're meeting.
- 1:15:01That's right. So we cut to another scene and a
- 1:15:05baroness is Gary, get out of her car for this, Paparazzi moment
- 1:15:09and Jasper and Horace walk up to the car and throw like a large
- 1:15:18seat belt around. Car lock the baroness inside.
- 1:15:22I'm just like II feel like that's what they like put on
- 1:15:25like new cars when they're transporting them without like
- 1:15:28somebody being in their driving. Um yeah I was like get one of
- 1:15:32those. No you don't their car has
- 1:15:35enough problems. Oh my gosh my parents fine.
- 1:15:40Is it fine now? Is it by now?
- 1:15:43Spencer, it's going to be fine. That's what I thought.
- 1:15:49And Cruella gets a top of this car and this is my favorite
- 1:15:53costume of the entire fill my gosh.
- 1:15:55Yes. Okay you describe it I have
- 1:15:58notes. She's standing on top of it and
- 1:16:01this black leather jacket. She has a lot of bells moments
- 1:16:04on the shoulder and this large just can caving a red and black
- 1:16:09tulle gown. That just covers the car she
- 1:16:12snaps open. The scroll that says the past
- 1:16:15and it lays right next to and the baroness.
- 1:16:19The car why she looks so good. So strong and that like,
- 1:16:23military jacket with all the, it reminded me very much of her.
- 1:16:30It's like a call back to her school uniform.
- 1:16:32Oh yeah, yes, this is the establishment.
- 1:16:35But I am more than the establishment.
- 1:16:37I know how to make them better. I love this costume.
- 1:16:41It's so beautiful. So this was apparently like the
- 1:16:45hardest one to make. She brought an Australian
- 1:16:51patternmaker Christine Fletcher as the the chief pattern cutter
- 1:16:58and she is actually notable for her wearable art.i.
- 1:17:03Jenny said they just had like tons of students and interns
- 1:17:08cutting out those petals putting it together interview, RT, e--
- 1:17:15quotes r. As I felt half sick, Rather
- 1:17:18proud whenever I looked at it, I just, she was like so much work
- 1:17:24went into this that it was just like apparently just like
- 1:17:27exhausting to look at. But also like that is a feat
- 1:17:30because she said it was really hard to because they had to make
- 1:17:33it light enough for her to be able to do that.
- 1:17:37So it was just, that's a feat of engineering.
- 1:17:40Wait right there. Literally, like you said, it's
- 1:17:42wearable art. It is.
- 1:17:44Art is Art. It's, it's gorgeous.
- 1:17:47It's like I just, I was speechless when I saw it, I just
- 1:17:52thought this whole thing was just brilliant.
- 1:17:53It was it doesn't look like to me.
- 1:17:56I mean, I'm sure it's light enough for you get up on top of
- 1:17:58the car, but that looks like it weighs a good 2,000 pounds.
- 1:18:02So it looks like it, but apparently not, apparently it
- 1:18:04was just, I mean, Emma Stone made up on top of a car.
- 1:18:09So made it up and it's like, the way.
- 1:18:12Oh gosh, it's brilliant. Just the way it lays over.
- 1:18:15She said, she wanted it to look like Opera curtains.
- 1:18:18With Emma Thompson, the baroness just peeking out.
- 1:18:21It's like know the curtains closed on you.
- 1:18:25You don't need to go back at the house.
- 1:18:29The baroness, the baroness is pissed.
- 1:18:32She like she just said she's annoyed that.
- 1:18:36She feels like everyone's laughing at her and now
- 1:18:38Guerrilla has pulled out all these fashionable stunts.
- 1:18:41She's acting now, she's ripping out newspapers from people's
- 1:18:45hands are looking at pictures of gorillas.
- 1:18:48She's pissed, but after he's so mad.
- 1:18:51But while she's being all mad about this, Estella keeps going
- 1:18:56to work. All right?
- 1:18:59Like that was the best part to me.
- 1:19:01It wasn't like, she just like up and disappear.
- 1:19:03She's like, no, no, I got to play the long con.
- 1:19:05Yeah, she's back at work. Wearing her little red wig, just
- 1:19:09working away, being a little busy bee.
- 1:19:11Yeah. So now we're zooming in on this
- 1:19:13moment where the bareness is wearing this crazy black and
- 1:19:17white. Outfit.
- 1:19:18She's wearing is a black wig. I have to admit, I like the
- 1:19:22costume, but the black wig was really unsettling.
- 1:19:25For me. It was a choice.
- 1:19:30It was a choice. It's a choice.
- 1:19:32I just, I'm not saying it was a bad choice, but I just was not
- 1:19:35ready for this black wig. I don't think any of us were,
- 1:19:41but a dump truck pulls out and who pops out of the dumps track
- 1:19:45Cruella. I love this.
- 1:19:49Look, she made a large train on this dress made out of trash
- 1:19:56trash. And I'm just like, at this
- 1:19:59point. I'm like, how do you not
- 1:20:00realize? This is a Stella, like, right?
- 1:20:04Very trashy, very trashy, like, but beautiful and it reminded me
- 1:20:14of, like, A lot of what you see like people do now especially
- 1:20:19like I guess college student when we were in college.
- 1:20:22A lot of people using paper and just like things they find to
- 1:20:30like to make these beautiful avant-garde pieces and Jenny
- 1:20:38beavan. She was really in one of the
- 1:20:40interviews. She says, she wanted, she loves
- 1:20:43that like you know, this is something people.
- 1:20:46Sorry we're doing. And even though it is a period
- 1:20:48P, she wanted to bring like that Spirit of people, like DIY and
- 1:20:53reusing things into the film. I love the the idea of you think
- 1:20:58sustainability which is something that I think a lot
- 1:21:01more designers should be thinking about yeah.
- 1:21:04Especially right now. Yeah, you can make something out
- 1:21:08of anything and no one knows that better than karela.
- 1:21:11Oh yes, she had to work with nothing for years.
- 1:21:17So the baroness is in the car with our good friend.
- 1:21:21Roger, the baroness is wearing this incredible houndstooth
- 1:21:25pattern. It looks good.
- 1:21:27I love it. And she fires Roger and I mostly
- 1:21:32I'm not really positive why I know poor Roger like and she
- 1:21:38like dis is on him for playing the piano a lot and is like, oh
- 1:21:43but he's a great lawyer but we never get to See him be a great
- 1:21:47lawyer. All right.
- 1:21:50How would I know? I don't remember why she fires
- 1:21:53them. I only do it was just kind of
- 1:21:56like why you're fired like him and those two like department
- 1:22:01store Executives. We see one like he's first
- 1:22:04introduced, like I'm like, what was the point of these people?
- 1:22:08We may need to dive deeper into those characters.
- 1:22:11Yeah, but she's getting ready for Her fashion hurt her newest
- 1:22:18fashion show. She needs a statement piece.
- 1:22:21A signature piece that's going to be on the runway.
- 1:22:24Yes. And challenges all four
- 1:22:26designers that come up with a piece and I think it's safe to
- 1:22:30say that Stella came out with a pretty groundbreaking gown.
- 1:22:34Oh yes. It is beautiful.
- 1:22:37It is covered in beads. It reminds me a lot of like,
- 1:22:40those like Armory look in dresses.
- 1:22:43Oh yeah. People were like, For into a
- 1:22:46couple of years ago. It is the beautiful it kind of
- 1:22:51gave me like a McQueen Vibe. Yes very like Crystal jeweled
- 1:22:56then also remind me of this one that look that Bjork did back in
- 1:23:01the day. Was she wore this dress like out
- 1:23:03of bells? Yeah, it is beautiful but I
- 1:23:07wonder if you caught this so she has special beating delivered.
- 1:23:11And Horace is the delivery man and the baroness look.
- 1:23:16Looks at him like I know you and I think that's like her first
- 1:23:21hint that like estella's, not on the up and up.
- 1:23:26Oh, I was fairly confident at this moment that she knew
- 1:23:29exactly is Stella was Corolla. I don't think she knew quite
- 1:23:33yet. I think it took her a little
- 1:23:35bit, that could be, but she sees, I think she recognizes
- 1:23:39Horace from the black and white party.
- 1:23:42Yeah, that's the guy that was chasing the dog dressed up as a
- 1:23:44rat. Absolutely.
- 1:23:48She knows something's up but uh right now is tell us her best
- 1:23:52designer, so they're going to lunch.
- 1:23:55Yeah, I mean, even that dress before it was jeweled still
- 1:23:59looked amazing. I love to see it.
- 1:24:02Don't even need a jewels of my opinion, but once those are on
- 1:24:04there, obviously was amazing. And the baroness takes a Stella
- 1:24:08to lunch to celebrate herself. She's not celebrating Estella.
- 1:24:13No, not a cell is good work. It's her good work.
- 1:24:16Exactly, which this is something that we're going to talk about
- 1:24:19at the end of this episode. The idea of taking credit for
- 1:24:23other people's work, has been a theme, a lot of costume
- 1:24:26designers and we're gonna get into that.
- 1:24:29And it also highlights something that's common practice in the
- 1:24:32fashion industry. Is these Brands, they usually do
- 1:24:36have like, you know, a head designer and or like these
- 1:24:40fashion houses, they have a head designer.
- 1:24:42That person is not sketching out in designing every single piece.
- 1:24:46They have a team of designers and they are approving.
- 1:24:50Looks like exactly there are more of a creative director than
- 1:24:54an actual designer. Totally.
- 1:24:57You're 100% right. I have a lot of feelings on this
- 1:25:00will probably talk about this, a little later.
- 1:25:02And today's podcast, will probably talk about it a lot
- 1:25:05because we have quite a few friends in the fashion industry.
- 1:25:10Oh, yeah. And I could tell you stories and
- 1:25:11stories of costume designers being ripped off for their work.
- 1:25:16But I have to, I can't leave the scene without talking about the
- 1:25:20moment where the baroness just pops this cork off and they got
- 1:25:23a nice finish. I've gotta say like that for her
- 1:25:28being in the service industry that is like, I felt that you
- 1:25:34felt the cork in the face. I felt the cork in the face.
- 1:25:39I so I felt that I felt that that just utter disrespect.
- 1:25:43So a couple days later, The baroness learns to find that
- 1:25:48someone tried to break in to the house of baroness.
- 1:25:52And her precious collection is locked inside, a very sturdy
- 1:25:57looking safe. Yeah.
- 1:25:59She's like, we can't have people get into this.
- 1:26:02They clearly were trying to destroy the collection and she
- 1:26:05puts them in the wall. This poses to be a problem later
- 1:26:09on. Yeah, I just want to bring up
- 1:26:12one costume. We see Estella sketching in,
- 1:26:16Kind of inverted black and white vest and she looks amazing.
- 1:26:20Yeah, like one should like she looks great through the whole
- 1:26:24thing, but once she's Cruella like, like, it's all, it's all
- 1:26:28out there. So you know, ice ice and
- 1:26:31repetitive of every look. This is amazing.
- 1:26:33That's brilliant. But literally Jenny beavan
- 1:26:36costume designer. Every look in this film.
- 1:26:38It's amazing isn't brilliant. So good, so good.
- 1:26:42But she's working away. And also by this This point she
- 1:26:46has recruited already. Yeah, to help her create her own
- 1:26:51fashion show. She has her own, not like
- 1:26:54Couture house, and this is shoveled building that they've
- 1:26:58been living in. Like they are putting it
- 1:27:00together and it is the first big fuck you to the baroness because
- 1:27:08the time of her fashion show comes and they can't get out of
- 1:27:13all the vault. Still locked and they're
- 1:27:19struggling really hard to open up the Vault and when they do
- 1:27:24something terrible happens that I almost don't even want to
- 1:27:27watch. I so this I this made me very
- 1:27:32uncomfortable. I don't know if it was
- 1:27:35butterflies or moths but they all come flying out of the Vault
- 1:27:41terrifying, the guests of her show that they Spill out onto
- 1:27:47the street, the baroness sees that it was a Stella's gown that
- 1:27:51wasn't beating those were cocoons.
- 1:27:55Oh, gross. Like oh, like her show is
- 1:27:58destroyed. I hate bugs.
- 1:28:00But on top of that, we start to see lights.
- 1:28:03We hear music Cruella de Vil has set up her Punk fashion show,
- 1:28:10right, across from the house of Baron ass.
- 1:28:15I mean, I Since I saw the lights, I was like, I want to be
- 1:28:18there. The green and red kind of
- 1:28:20lighting they did. In this show was so attractive.
- 1:28:24It was, it was so great. The models are like, they're
- 1:28:28dancing, making everything look good Jasper's, like he's
- 1:28:33conflicted by the situation, but man, is he playing the guitar?
- 1:28:37Oh my God, he's killing it. He's shredding, he's killing it.
- 1:28:41Already is killing it because I think he already singing right
- 1:28:44eye. I don't know.
- 1:28:46I think he's singing. We see karela and is a black and
- 1:28:50white gown with a Dalmatian Prince with a Dalmatian print.
- 1:28:54Oh, All of this because I didn't think they were going to break
- 1:28:58out the dalmatian jacket. Yeah, I was like, oh, they're
- 1:29:02gonna save that because before I watched, I heard it already been
- 1:29:05approved for a sequel. I was like, oh, they're going to
- 1:29:08save that for the next one because like, you don't see it
- 1:29:11in like any other promotions and I'm like, oh, like they're just
- 1:29:15gonna they're gonna wait. But no, it is.
- 1:29:19It looks like straight up down Nation for the other.
- 1:29:22The rest of it is this like, I don't think it was leather.
- 1:29:26But it was just this, like, gorgeous black fabric.
- 1:29:29It has this like shawl type collar.
- 1:29:33Going over her shoulders. It she's working it.
- 1:29:37I'm not a fan of her hair, but, you know, it's great.
- 1:29:41I also love these little glove. She keeps wearing, like, the
- 1:29:44thrill. I love the little half, Club
- 1:29:47Swift a little see-through frill.
- 1:29:50Yeah, it's so good. And the baroness, the baroness
- 1:29:54sees this and is immediately She murdered my dog's my full-on
- 1:30:01dead right now and she's wearing them.
- 1:30:03That's yeah, that's what she thinks little does she know?
- 1:30:07They're just waiting for those dogs to crap out the necklace
- 1:30:12and the show unfortunately gets broken up by the police.
- 1:30:16Yeah, I mean things are getting unruly here, but this is a great
- 1:30:20fashion show and I love when she's running away.
- 1:30:23She just pops into like, To get food.
- 1:30:27She just like a log out, a little, a little snack before I
- 1:30:31go home. She grabs a little snack at the
- 1:30:34same time, our friends, Jasper and Horace and the dogs are
- 1:30:39being captured. Yeah.
- 1:30:41And korilla gets back to the home and the guess who's waiting
- 1:30:46there for her, the baroness? Yes, with her boys.
- 1:30:49With them boys, with the boys. She's like, I'm gonna frame
- 1:30:53these two, for your murder. I am gonna burn you alive.
- 1:30:59So things escalated quickly, it's like, oh my gosh, like did
- 1:31:07not expect this. I thought this was the end of
- 1:31:09the movie. I was like, hold on.
- 1:31:14Are there still like an hour left?
- 1:31:16I know terrible. But yeah, I was pretty shook by
- 1:31:19this. I was not expecting things
- 1:31:21escalate so quickly, so the fire is real.
- 1:31:26It burns everything down. She's stuck buddies.
- 1:31:30Trying to get her and, and Winks trying to get her out but they
- 1:31:34just can't do it. I just have to say, even when
- 1:31:38the entire building is burning down and astellas likes trucks,
- 1:31:42as she's struggling on the ground.
- 1:31:45She still looks good. Oh yeah, even in a burning
- 1:31:49building, Estella / karela looks amazing.
- 1:31:52She looks amazing through the fog of smoke at her slowly dying
- 1:31:59of smoke inhalation. She sees a thicker coming for
- 1:32:03her. Yes.
- 1:32:05And with That I think we're going to take a break and when
- 1:32:09we come back, we're going to finish up karela.
- 1:32:11Yeah, it's down to the juicy part.
- 1:32:14We're getting to the end everyone.
- 1:32:15Stay with us. So, we are back and some is
- 1:32:40karela. She was saved.
- 1:32:41She was saved. So it turns out John, the valet
- 1:32:46who we haven't talked about most of the, this episode, The, he's
- 1:32:51always there in the background. Around.
- 1:32:53He's like the baroness's little henchmen, like making sure her
- 1:32:57will gets done. Sure.

- 1:37:49So with the help of wink because the dog survived the dog,

- 1:38:32mustache off. Where's enough fooling?
- 1:38:37Anybody she's like a mustache and a cap on and it's like,
- 1:38:41great disguise. It's clearly just Emma Stone
- 1:38:44with a mustache. There was the one little Easter
- 1:38:50egg. I want to bring you up when
- 1:38:52Jasper and horse are in a jail cell.
- 1:38:54They're kind of like, waiting for someone to bring them the
- 1:38:58key and just like in Pirates of the Caribbean, the dog walks up
- 1:39:02and kind of gives them the key through the jail cell, which I
- 1:39:05thought was a cute little reference.
- 1:39:07That is a door of I did not make that connection.
- 1:39:10I don't know if that's what they intended but that's what I
- 1:39:12thought of. I mean buddy does look like
- 1:39:15that, dog. I mean, it's not buddy.
- 1:39:17That brings them the key but no, but the references there.
- 1:39:23The code that Jasper is wearing is incredible.
- 1:39:26I love this coat. Yeah.
- 1:39:28Horse is wearing this really great, Punk jacket that I'm
- 1:39:31obsessed with. Also there are stepping up their
- 1:39:34fashion at the end of this movie.
- 1:39:36Oh they are they really are. But I think it's just so they
- 1:39:38can keep being in karelis family.
- 1:39:42Yeah, there's a lot of expectations going around right
- 1:39:46now. Yeah, so she gets out of jail.
- 1:39:49She explains the whole situation to them and is like got to bring
- 1:39:53On the baroness still and Jasper's like what not?

- 1:40:01family? And I'm sorry and I love you
- 1:40:04guys and he's like, no. Okay, like ballot that like took
- 1:40:09no convincing whatsoever very easily.
- 1:40:12Convince Jasper, is he has a hard time saying?
- 1:40:14No, yeah, so she can like, no, okay, yeah, she gets them on
- 1:40:19board. Then she goes to visit our
- 1:40:21Archie and her Stash. Artie, Artie.
- 1:40:25Oh my gosh right icon Archie Bill, he wants too much River
- 1:40:29down. I don't want River down like a
- 1:40:31year. I I quit after the dad died.
- 1:40:35Um so RT she goes to this already in his shop.
- 1:40:39He's clearly very upset. He's just wrong.
- 1:40:43He thinks Kirill is dead. His favorite person ever?
- 1:40:46Yeah and he was like this. This was my person like We were
- 1:40:51doing it for. She comes in, he's like, oh, oh,
- 1:40:56oh, girl, it was the mustache and she's like I have a job for
- 1:41:03you. So they're all at John's house.
- 1:41:07He's like I'm like where does like the baroness think John is
- 1:41:11because he's like making them all T.
- 1:41:13There they're sewing. Sewing sewing.
- 1:41:16You're like really not sure. What for yeah.
- 1:41:19They're just preparing it seems like forever.
- 1:41:20The biggest fashion show in the world.
- 1:41:23John's tiny little apartment. No, oh gosh.
- 1:41:30I'm at Krill is on the balcony before this final showdown.
- 1:41:34And this black dress that she's wearing black lipstick which I
- 1:41:37thought was an interesting moment.
- 1:41:39Yeah, I didn't quite understand that.
- 1:41:43I feel like she's just kind of a morning, you know.
- 1:41:46Yeah, kofi's morning like the death of her mom.
- 1:41:50Mourning. The death of Estella which are
- 1:41:53coming to find out, mourning the death of everything she thought
- 1:41:57she knew about her life. Yeah.
- 1:42:00You're into it. Yeah I know I miss your thinking
- 1:42:02because also like one jostling his story he's like yeah your
- 1:42:06father just wasted away after you died died and it's like a
- 1:42:13terrible thing to keep in your head.
- 1:42:15So now it's time, Elizabeth to go to a my favorite place,
- 1:42:20King's Landing, we're going it to the capital of all Fashions
- 1:42:24know we're going to. We're actually going to Hellman
- 1:42:30Hall it looks like King's Landing those people wearing
- 1:42:34armor. Does I pretty sure I saw Cersei
- 1:42:38Lannister Waka by just things are things are turning into a
- 1:42:43Game of Thrones situation. Yeah once again it's just like
- 1:42:47the the show at the beginning of the movie where it was you know
- 1:42:52very French Revolution Marie Antoinette.
- 1:42:55Except now it's like very like medieval King Arthur's Court.
- 1:43:00Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings for as long as the rains
- 1:43:03not go there. So once again, the baroness is
- 1:43:07just doing the most, she is in the silver gown.
- 1:43:11Yeah, draping with chains. Yes, I almost thought I saw like
- 1:43:15a metal corset piece but then I don't think it was a corset.
- 1:43:19I don't think it was a corset but it was definitely.
- 1:43:23It was more of like a very elaborate like belt.
- 1:43:26Yeah I mean this outfit is crazy good.
- 1:43:30And she is paranoid AF. She is just like you all better.
- 1:43:37Like, not let this for karela ruin tonight, like, she's out
- 1:43:42there. You need to go get her.
- 1:43:44And they're like, oh, it's fine. We have these really intense
- 1:43:46tasers. Now, she starts teasing.
- 1:43:50Everybody should taste the made. I believe she just taste the
- 1:43:55made. And no one walked out.
- 1:43:56Yeah. Like the maid to do anything
- 1:43:58like to you. And I like, what else?
- 1:44:00Has she done that? This doesn't seem that crazy to
- 1:44:02them. I'm home.
- 1:44:04That's terrible. Oh, so right off the bat,
- 1:44:10though. Krill is plan is an action, even
- 1:44:14before she arrives at the party, because it turns out they were
- 1:44:20selling the same exact dress over and over and over again,
- 1:44:25and sending it to all the women. The baroness had tackle thrown
- 1:44:31out of her parties and telling them, to come to, my come to my
- 1:44:37party and wear this in honor of our dearly Departed.
- 1:44:42Haha, that's a great plan. I love this, it's so good.
- 1:44:46So the baroness comes out with her dogs and she sees a sea of
- 1:44:52Cruella's. Her worst nightmare my fantasy
- 1:44:58and it's hilarious because like her staff is like on the lookout
- 1:45:02for them. And they're like there's crew
- 1:45:03out there. Oh no.
- 1:45:05No, they just keep tackling women, just crawling everywhere.
- 1:45:09This is a nightmare. It's a nightmare.
- 1:45:12Mer. So.
- 1:45:13And they start. Infiltrating, and Horace is an
- 1:45:16acrylic outfit. Yeah, which was hilarious,
- 1:45:21hilarious. He gets all.
- 1:45:24But one of the guards into the library, he traps them in there
- 1:45:29and then he's fighting this one guard.
- 1:45:30But RT comes saves him. And Haman already have like a
- 1:45:35really cute relationship throughout this whole thing.
- 1:45:38That also did a little moment right there.
- 1:45:40Yeah. For then also like, The rugby
- 1:45:44I'm like I see you guys. You're cute.
- 1:45:47Yeah, little connection there. I see it.
- 1:45:50Well, connection. We see it.
- 1:45:51You're not getting by Elizabeth and Spencer.
- 1:45:53Yeah. Now that everyone is just the
- 1:45:59best karela as Stella is there. Eric relative now that everyone
- 1:46:04is dressed as karela. The real Kirill has there and
- 1:46:08she's gonna change into her now. Alter Ego as Stella.
- 1:46:12Are you guys keeping up with the karela and the Stella?
- 1:46:16Yes, she's Cruella until the baroness is forced to make a
- 1:46:22toast in her honor. Oh yeah.
- 1:46:27Good. That was awkward sheep.
- 1:46:30She did say earlier, why would have her toasts to someone else
- 1:46:33besides myself? And I was just a toaster karela.
- 1:46:37That's good. Estella is now dressed as
- 1:46:40herself. And she, in a way to bring the
- 1:46:46baroness outside to the cliff, she stole.
- 1:46:50The baroness is dog. Whistle.
- 1:46:51And she just Blows the Whistle, the dogs are instantly in a
- 1:46:55panic. We got to get outside.
- 1:46:57Side. The see how we go?
- 1:46:58Come on, who Let The Dogs Out Estella?
- 1:47:01Let the dogs out. I still let the dogs out.
- 1:47:04The baroness is just being dragged by these Dalmatians.
- 1:47:08And you there is a Stella in the same exact spot where her mother
- 1:47:12died. This was so crazy to watch.
- 1:47:16I did not know what was going to happen but this is very, very
- 1:47:19powerful that imagery of the scene.
- 1:47:22It was and like they're if they're seemingly having like a
- 1:47:26heart to heart. Seemingly.
- 1:47:28I mean maybe to no one ever because we can all see the
- 1:47:31baroness's try. Not to crack up laughing.
- 1:47:34Yeah. Sweet.
- 1:47:36She's trying to be sweet. She's staying like.
- 1:47:38Well, of course you're This brilliant.
- 1:47:40You're my child and as they're having this little moment,
- 1:47:44Horace. Jasper already.
- 1:47:47John the footman know, John the valet.
- 1:47:50There we go. Open.
- 1:47:53That's a step down. John, the valley.
- 1:47:57Say they're all telling the baroness would like you on the
- 1:48:00patio. The baroness would like you on
- 1:48:01the patio. So everyone is coming out to the
- 1:48:04patio and seeing this little mother-daughter moment and
- 1:48:09they're seeing the parents being like, let me give you a hug.
- 1:48:12I'm A cell is like, you're not gonna push me over the edge.
- 1:48:15She's like, oh no, no, no. No never do that.
- 1:48:22You're so funny. You're so funny.
- 1:48:24So everyone's out on the balcony and she's like, You're funny
- 1:48:27stupid and pushes her off. Yeah, I'm coming.
- 1:48:33Everyone, everyone at the party. Sees it, she tries to be like
- 1:48:36she jumped and tried to take me with her, and everyone's like we
- 1:48:41saw in heard, we saw and heard, we got you, we got you on
- 1:48:45camera, we got you. So Estelle is gone.
- 1:48:48Estelle is dead. She straight up.
- 1:48:49Murdered Stella, she's straight murdered Estella but it still,
- 1:48:54it did kind of go down with a parachute.
- 1:48:56Yeah. So Cruella could live.
- 1:49:00Oh yeah cuz somehow somehow I was still don't understand how
- 1:49:05this worked that she was able to will the entire Helm in a state
- 1:49:09to herself. Yeah, I don't know maybe it's
- 1:49:12just goes into the lawyer rank of this movie but I mean,
- 1:49:15technically, she was that. Yeah, I don't know how that
- 1:49:19would work. I mean, I guess if it's like
- 1:49:23classic She said, Estella wrote in her, will that the fortune
- 1:49:31and the Mansion of go to her? Good friend Cruella.
- 1:49:34Yeah, I don't know how it passed down, maybe because I'm not a
- 1:49:39lawyer, but I'm pretty like we're in.
- 1:49:43Also has a bunch of weird laws, especially still back then,
- 1:49:47about inheritance. So she could have just
- 1:49:50automatically had all that but like because no one knew she was
- 1:49:53alive. Live.
- 1:49:55It would not have any. If we have any lawyers out
- 1:49:58there, feel free to let us know. That's what happened here.
- 1:50:02Any lawyers from the British Isles?
- 1:50:04Would be spectacular. I feel like this is a this is a
- 1:50:09British thing. We need to have a conversation
- 1:50:13and figure out what's inside. We don't have we don't have
- 1:50:15monarchies and ancestral lands passing down over here.
- 1:50:22Yeah so as Stella is Herb. Yeah, but karela is alive.
- 1:50:27Her boys were there waiting for her to pick her up out of the
- 1:50:30sea. Oh yeah, her boys, picked her
- 1:50:33up. She even goes to her own funeral
- 1:50:35which I felt like you know why, if no one attended, why would
- 1:50:39you attend your own funeral? Why half the funeral?
- 1:50:42I mean, I think she's clearly working through a lot.
- 1:50:46Yeah, that's true. She's saying goodbye to her
- 1:50:49former life. Yes.
- 1:50:52I just felt like she could do that home with a glass of wine,
- 1:50:55but to each their own and as the baroness is being herded Away by
- 1:50:59the police, she rolls up at that party, as Cruella.
- 1:51:04Oh yeah. And in the car, and she's tells
- 1:51:08everyone that her new name is Cruella de Vil.
- 1:51:11It's spelled devil but it's pronounced a bill.
- 1:51:17You sound just like her. Nah, I don't.
- 1:51:23So now karela gets to go see her new digs.
- 1:51:26So, you know, I'm the valet is like, welcome home.
- 1:51:31She's got her boys with her Jasper and Horace already'
- 1:51:35there. They're all looking around, she
- 1:51:38looks spectacular, she's like, yes, I am.
- 1:51:41The Mistress of this home. She's wearing this black dress
- 1:51:44with this, cut out back Cape. It's like a great.
- 1:51:49You been on the back is almost like cuts and like a you yeah,
- 1:51:54it's very like aristocratic her load.
- 1:51:58Now with the I love like the little chain on her boots still.
- 1:52:02Oh yeah, this look is us. This is a great finale, look at
- 1:52:07and that she has the donations with her because she's like, I'm
- 1:52:12just as crazy as my mother. I'm going to need these dogs.
- 1:52:15I was like what? She keep the dogs there.
- 1:52:17They don't. They don't have it.
- 1:52:19Good relationship, but maybe that's the point.
- 1:52:21She's embracing the things embracing them.
- 1:52:24She's embracing these dogs because they're a part of her
- 1:52:27even if they're evil. Yes.
- 1:52:29And she goes to the gates of her new home, straight up.
- 1:52:34Just takes the man part out of Helmand and she now lives at.
- 1:52:40He'll haul. Welcome the hell, huh?
- 1:52:45She's like, let's get this started.
- 1:52:47And that is a great way to And the story of Cruella once I
- 1:52:51think this is going to be a story that we get to follow in a
- 1:52:54years to come. Oh yeah, I'm really excited that
- 1:52:58they already have a sequel planned already.
- 1:53:02Yeah, Elizabeth there is one last thing we need to talk
- 1:53:05about. Before we wrap up this episode,
- 1:53:08there is a a little bit of controversy, not unheard of but
- 1:53:16it's a problem, it's a problem. And I'm about to get real
- 1:53:20passionate. Yes.
- 1:53:22So recently Ragan bone announced that they were going to have a
- 1:53:27Cruella and spell it inspired line in partnership with Disney
- 1:53:35but not in partnership with Jenny beavan shocking to knowing
- 1:53:39the costume. Designer was not involved in
- 1:53:42this collaboration at all like this happens all the time.
- 1:53:48Very rarely are costume designers consulted or
- 1:53:53compensated for any licensed product based on their designs.
- 1:53:59I literally, I only found three times when a costume designer
- 1:54:04was actually Broughton, it was for the madman collection with
- 1:54:09Banana Republic. The Gossip Girl collection with
- 1:54:13Miss Selfridge and Trish Somerville did do a collection
- 1:54:17with a Hm, for Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
- 1:54:20However, it is basically just common practice for costume
- 1:54:26designers not to be compensated. When their designs are used for
- 1:54:30toys costumes all the licensed product acting and and Bevin
- 1:54:37told Riot e that she was horrified when she saw this, she
- 1:54:42said like she had been consulted before filming that like oh we
- 1:54:46might, you know, do it. Fashion line, she was like oh
- 1:54:49okay, but she's like I didn't hear anything to write.
- 1:54:55She said I quote the thing about Cruella is that you've got a
- 1:54:59film about fashion about to fashion designers.
- 1:55:02The whole story is them almost having a warfare using fashion,
- 1:55:08so it's so disrespectful to then bring out fashion lines.
- 1:55:13So she's like the whole point is that, you know, they're using
- 1:55:17fashion to bring each other down and then you're gonna bring out
- 1:55:20this fashion line and like not include me and not compensate me
- 1:55:26like it's just not right. Yeah, here's the deal.
- 1:55:29I mean costume designers are the storytellers that make a lot of
- 1:55:33our favorite movies. TV shows, theater Productions,
- 1:55:37music videos, animations come to life and we owe a lot of
- 1:55:43Designers deserve a lot of credit, not just credit, but
- 1:55:46they also deserve to be compensated for their work
- 1:55:48correctly. I mean, you can't think of this
- 1:55:51movie karela even being anywhere near as a successful without the
- 1:55:55work of Jenny beavan, I don't know.
- 1:55:57So at the Autumn costume, it's part of our mission to make sure
- 1:56:01that we highlight costume designers and their brilliant
- 1:56:05work and it's about time to Industry starts doing the same
- 1:56:07thing. Yeah, I am so frustrated every
- 1:56:10time I go to the movies and we see, Eames and you can't even
- 1:56:13figure out who's the costume designer.
- 1:56:16Because it's not labeled on a glass.
- 1:56:18Simple, things like that. We need a credit costume
- 1:56:21designers further, brilliant work.
- 1:56:22Oh yeah. And I think the costume designer
- 1:56:25Gill president Salvador, Perez Jr.
- 1:56:29He put out like a little statement that perfectly
- 1:56:35encapsulates. You know what, the like, what
- 1:56:38the problem is? He says as costume designers,
- 1:56:41our work has a Fie on the screen or work is reproduced for toys,
- 1:56:46costumes, fashion Collections and more.
- 1:56:48Not only are we not allowed to /?
- 1:56:51Not only are we not allowed to participate in the profits made
- 1:56:55off the merchandising, we aren't even credited for our work in
- 1:56:59the original designs. And it's just that this is a
- 1:57:02remnant of the Hollywood System. If you don't know what that is,
- 1:57:06look it up. It's a remnant of that and it's
- 1:57:10not fair. And it's not right?
- 1:57:13That's not fair credit costume designers and pay them what
- 1:57:17they're worth, which is a lot. It's like they make the look of
- 1:57:22these iconic characters to actors.
- 1:57:24Bring them to life. It couldn't be done without the
- 1:57:26actors but we remember how they look and that's all down to the
- 1:57:32costume designer. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:57:36Well on that note, we hope that everyone continues to credit
- 1:57:40costume designers. Make sure that they're
- 1:57:43compensated correctly and that brings us to the conclusion of
