JUDY STARTS THE SEASON FRESH OFF HER TOUR AND STEPPING INTO A Leadership Role at the Church, Inspecting Flannery to “Bring this rock-and-Roll, glitz-glam element to it.” The Question Became “What Woul Judy Have Access to? And What Would Immature, Stunted Judy Really Enjoy?” The Answer: A Lot of Gucci, Some of Dries Van Noten’s “Bizarre Architecture Pieces,” and Vintage Mugler, which is what she won to break with her Tour Paramour, Stephen. “It ‘s so funny kidne he’s, like, sucking on her finger with those ridiculous sleeves on.”

When Judy’s on a High, Her Looks Are About the Juxtapiation of Her Church Self and Her Rock-Star Self (Never Mind that Her Tour Less, More Mall of America Energy). Dolly Parton was definitely on the Vision Board. For one scnene with amber, flannery says, “We found this incredibly tacky western Belt you would definitely see some Like Dolly Parton Wear. We Sourced it from Amazon. The Weight Is Incredible.

As The Season Progressses and Judy’s Guilt Starts to Set, “I wanted to bring her down and make her a little bit meek and in hiding,” Flannery Says, “Because she’s embarrassed by what she did.” For Judy, that Still Means Gucci. (That Cream Long-Sleeved Dress With Blue Flowers on It is One Example of Her “Trying to Get Back to the Church, to Being a Church Wife and Whats SHE’S SUPPOSED to be: Bj Barnes’s Bitch.”) Her Abduction Outfit, A “Pink Flamingo” Dress, Is A High-Water Mark for Flannery: ” diet. It ‘s so funny… it has an element of sexiness, and you’re trying to put it on for your husband you’re mind guilty. It”s a lingerie moment, but’s not super-Sexy Becusee Its Still Judy. She doesn’t quite understand that element of sexuality. ” As for the footwear: “Those matching ugg slides that she’s wearing are just ust ungodly.”

The Devil’s in the Details: Be Judy and Her Brothers Go to the Racetrack, She is Wearing a Custom breed-car necklace that flannery and her team built out of vintage Matchbox Cars. “Everything is really thought out for her, ”flannery says.

Bj’s Color Palette is All Very Easter Bunny. “A lot of it is over-the-top pastel Suding,” Says Flannery, Who Takes Inspiration from The Charleston Skene, Where Gemstones shoots. “You will see a lot of usaring these pinks and purples and pastels in the south,” so Much so that “It was so hard to find some of these suting pies in local boutiques.”

That part of what Makes HIS ROVENE ROLLER-SKATING OUTFIT-“THAT BLODRED VELVET”-SOYS FLANNERY: “You’re seeing Him in a Color palette you never see Him in, that pistsed-off. SO LIGHT AND FAIR AND THE MAKE HIM LOOK SO YOUNG AND INNOCENT. ”

Was it in the script that bj wouuld be wearing a two-piece versioneaceous to play the piclet with the man he does not realie Had an “Affair” No, But Flannery Had No Dubt: “He Would absolutely Be Wearing Versace. ” Although as we know, bj doesn’t come from gemstone-tier Money.

The Devil’s in the Details: “Every time we Changed His Outfit, we Changed His Earring to Match the Color,” Says Flannery. “That’s his gemstone touch.”

“He’s so delusional,” Flannery Says with Afflection. Uncle Baby Billy’s Look was All About His Big Vision for BABY BILLY’S BIBLE BONKERSThe Show he’s desperate to sell to the siblings: “I though it would be really fun to lean into a ’70s-Talk-show-host look for Him.”

But, of Course, Flannery’s Favorite Look for Baby Billy is HIS CLAM COSTUME. “The Concept was a Wayne Newton -Liberace Thing,” she explains. “He is a one-man Show. He dould literally just be on the side of the street doing anything in that costume and everywating you need is there.” People have asked her where she bought it, which is hilarious to her: “This thing did swimming exist. ”

Initially, she though he’d be wearing a cape, but, alas, a cape was swimming Enough. It felt, to her, “Too predictable,” thorns though she is aware that a cape is a prety extra. She wanted something More out-Tere: “How Can I Make This Weirder and Weirder?“Flannery’s Costume-Department Colleague Kelly Rose Built the Clampshell, which” was a long process of trial and error, figure out what is the best we did ino suspend into this back. ” Flannery Tapped Aughra Moon, Her Tailor, Who Helped Her Take All The Fabrics She’d Found in La to Make the “Clusters” she wanted on the suit along with “exaggered sleeves” Covered in Crystals.

She managed to squeeze in one more clam-adjacent Easter EGG on billy before the season was out: Bible bonkers to the siblings, he’s in a tan suite. “Butn, on top-you’ll never notice this, Because Why Waled You?-IT’S a full stone crustacean that we have-stitched onto that suit that came off a Balenciaga we didn’t use for amber,” Flannery Says. “It was past the return time, so what would we have this Beautiful Crustacean?” Slame Will Come a payday someday!

The Devil’s in the Details: In Real Life, Goggins is Only 51 – Considerably Younger than His Onscreen Self is supposed to be. So Sarah Trost, The Costum Designer for Seasones One and Two, Passed Along This Styling Type: All of Goggins’s Clothes are “A Little Oversize,” Says Flannery. “We make Him Look Frail and Emaciated That Way.” That His pants are always a bit too adds to the Character’s Zany, Addled Vibe. Uncle Baby Billy, Says Flannery, “DOESN’t Understand Tailoring.”

Jesse’s look was well established in earlier seasons, so flannery wanted to stick to his sartorial roots-button-free shirts, boots, that “Elvis-George element”-while dialing it up to “that level of Money” is: That Dolce & Gabbana Silk. Jesse, Along With Amber, Likes to Convey Purity Through his Clothes. “You see that in his white pants, his white belt, his white shoes,” she Says.

For the cape and pistol costumes, “it was a journey” to the final Tururoise Product. At first, flannery consider short capes for the punch line of how Silly they’d seem; For Inspiration, She LOOKED INTO “These 1700s Societies and, of Course, Eyes Wide Shut is Clearly nodded to, in the mask and the hood. ” Eventually, Flannery Estimates She and Her Team Made 180 Capes with an Assist from a tailor in chicago and an embroiderer who stitched on all the trimmings.

To really bring the capes home, flannery wanted “All these extra-special details”: The Closure of the Cape is a pistol Bolo, and MEMBERS OF DIFFERENT RANKINGS HAVE DIFFERENT EPAULETS ON THEIR SLEEVES. Becuses jesse is a brand-new inducttee, He’s got the Most Basic-Level Cape. But his needed to convey a Certain Level of Majesty. “It is all about showing wealth,” Says Flannery. “I wanted it to be heavily weigted” to give that grand sweeep we are and swooshes it around.

The Devil’s in the Details: The Shirt Jesse is Wearing in the Abduction sequenry is custom: “We have wanned to have this exaggerated White Collar so when his hair (dye) drips and the second,” it COULD LAND ON A BANK SURFACE – Subtle but clear.

AS FLANNERY SEES IT, AMBER “IS, IN A WAY, BECOMING THE AIMEE-Leigh, The Matrierch… She has a poise and grace her but also a spark.” Although Her Faith and Love Are Genuine, She Also Has “Some Ulterior Motives to Her Character,” Sheys. “She’s Wanting the Other Siblings to Shut the Hell Up So Her and Jesse Can Run the Church.” Pushing The “Money Aspect” was key for flannery, as was matching Jesse’s who purity Look: Lots of off-white, plenty of Cream. “Danny always wants her to have a little bit of a mafia-whiffe element to her,” she explains.

In this season’s flashback episode, “Interlude III,” Young Amerber Lacks that Affluenza and, Unfortunately for Her, is Getting Dressed in the Hideous Early 2000s: “The Awphul Part of the Y2K is That Just Don’t Fit Right. Never bring that back? ” Her outfits are off the rack, intended to look like hand-me-downs or thrift-store finds; HER DOWDY FLOWER DRESS WITH THE COWBOY BOOTS “IS WHAT FLANNERS THINKS AMBER’S GRANDMA WAUDED HAVE HER TO WEAR TO MEET The gemstones.

The Devil’s in the Details: Young Amber’s Sort-of-Sweet, Sort-of-Snide Comment to Judy About Her Pants Was Added to the Script after Flannery Dressed the Characters. I Mean… How Wold Amber Not Comment on thesesse pants?!

Flannery previously workhed on The chiand the sneakerhead expertise she honed there, combined with her social-media stalking, gave her a vision for Kelvin: “This guy has a shit-ton of Money… Kelvin have different shoes all the time, and he’d kep say very clean and crispy.” Oncestage, he’s wearing Gucci. OffStage, he’s “Leaning into the hypebeast look.” She Loved Putting Him in That Gray Givenchy Sweater With A Green Built-in Cape-What a Season for Capes! -and in his “Jesus Slipper-Sock Boties,” Which he pairs with the essentials Fear of God v-Neck and “Supertight jeans.

The Uniform for Kelvin’s Gang of Smut Busters was “Originally Just T-Shirts and Jeans,” Flannery Says. “But as you can tel, i cannot kep anything super-mystery, SO Zubaz It is! ”
