Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elizabeth Moss Take Charge in '70s Vintage in 'The Kitchen'
"Ocean's 8" costume designer Sarah Edwards talks us through the trio's power wardrobe evolution.Based on a short Marvel comic series and directed by Anna Berloff , "The Kitchen," follows Kathy , Ruby and Claire after their mid-level gangster husbands botch a robbery job and land in jail. Previously mob wives with no income streams of their own, the enterprising women are left to pick up the pieces, take over and, ultimately, eclipse the fragile men.
With two young children to feed and clothe, Kathy becomes the de facto leader of the group as they get down to business and navigate the city's underworld politics.
Because she had such specific ideas in mind, Edwards custom-built most of McCarthy's costumes, including her gorgeous knee-high black leather boots and, for a pinnacle moment, a puff-shoulder pastel pink-and-white-piped pant suit. "We're almost to 1980 at that point in the story, so it was like Kathy was really wearing something that was really on the edge of fashion," she says.
Costumes Transform Elisabeth Moss, Cara Delevingne and Agyness Deyn Into '90s Riot Grrrls in 'Her Smell'Ruby also enjoys the perks of the group's illicit job through her accessories: chunky gold rings, layered pendants and statement necklaces and stacks of bracelets. "We decided, when they steal the jewelry, she's the one who would really want to wear it and show it off at all times," says Edwards. "She would always be wearing maybe one too many things.
