“I think the coronation dress I wore is my favorite costume I’ve ever made,” Fanning said. “There are a couple in season 3 that could get over it. We tried to up the ante, but Sharon continues to make the best of her. Also this year she is bypassing the growing womb of her pregnancy; She took maternity wear to a whole new level in 18th century Russia.
Hoult wore everything from Greek mythological armor clash of the titans For War Boy’s post-apocalyptic makeup Mad Max: Fury Road. he called great Her lover too.
“Sharon made this costume for me in all these pastel pinks, blues and yellows with a beautiful dress and a feather on the headpiece,” said Hoult. “I don’t think I’ve ever been happier on set or in costume. It all comes down to the main link in my life. “
Emmy nominee Long said conceiving the show gives her the freedom to create outrageous costumes. Though apparently based on historical characters, creator Tony McNamara invented the comedy and drama of Catherine and Peter’s relationship.
“We’re not in the real world,” Long said. “We are creating a world that is a place of immense freedom”.
Francesca di Mottola’s production design is also nominated for an Emmy. She agreed that she is not repeating authentic historical characters.
“Our goal is not to recreate 18th-century Russia,” Di Mottola said. “It’s finding the ugly you can show. It moves away from what’s beautiful and what makes you think, “Oh, it looks great on camera.” It’s something that looks interesting and will have a bit of an edge. “
Some of these ugliness are self-inflicted. Fanning recalled the scene where Kathryn beats herself.
“Katherine went through a phase in season two where she was constantly kicking herself,” Fanning said. “I was really impressed. They won’t make a crazy amount and then double the risk is in the corner like “No, don’t do it”.
Check back on Monday for a video of the panel.
