But there’s one character, the enigmatic and alluring Dr. Evelyn Reed, played by the captivating Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The Perfect Couple is a captivating thriller that explores the dark side of love and marriage.
The show’s aesthetic is undeniably captivating. It’s a visual feast of color, texture, and pattern. The clothes are not just garments; they are works of art, each piece meticulously crafted and designed with a unique story to tell. The show’s designers are masters of their craft, and their creations are a testament to their talent and passion.
This is the essence of the timeless appeal of Nantucket red. It’s not just a color; it’s a feeling, a state of mind, a way of life. It’s the color of a crisp autumn day in New England, the color of a weathered sailor’s jacket, the color of a cozy cottage with a roaring fireplace.
As she also told Variety, Sejlund wanted Greer to “be dreamy and timeless.” Her wardrobe consists almost entirely of sea-colored blouses, trousers, and dresses—with the exception of a dusty red one-shoulder gown that she wears during the implosion of her career. She’s fond of monogrammed silk bathrobes, which she extends to all of her houseguests, and she’s never once depicted in denim or fleece. When she requires comfort, she reaches for a a knit cardigan, never a sweatshirt. When she’s writing, she throws on reading glasses, but the blouses remain. That level of refinement is beyond most temperaments—and bank accounts—but what’s wonderful about Greer’s wardrobe is that it’s capable of a dress-down. Toss one of those blouses together with jeans, or the trousers with a plain white T-shirt, and suddenly you’re no longer dressing like an uptight Nantucket matriarch, but a striving young professional on the subway. Versatility!
Amelia Sacks Netflix According to Sejlund, Amelia “doesn’t care about clothes. She’s very, very natural.” Perhaps that’s why she wears so much merchandise from her workplace, the Central Park Zoo, in addition to her jeans, tank dresses, and striped boxer shorts. Even her more elegant looks don’t quite adhere to Nantucket protocol: Her orange-red halter gown at the rehearsal dinner clashes with Nantucket red; her turquoise dress is too plunging; and her wedding gown has no embellishments. She looks most comfortable in a zip-up hoodie. Perhaps I wouldn’t recommend wearing your employer’s logo as a fashion staple, but there’s an ease to Amelia’s wardrobe that I think inspires emulating. She reaches for dresses that are loose and flowing; her denim is straight-legged and a classic wash. She understands that hoodies aren’t meant to be paired exclusively with gym clothes. And, perhaps most importantly, she doesn’t try too hard to adhere to someone else’s style code. When Greer’s jaw drops as Amelia waltzes outside in those little boxer shorts? I couldn’t help but cackle.
She’s a fashion icon, a trendsetter, and a social media darling. Her style is a blend of classic and contemporary, with a touch of bohemian flair. She’s known for her bold, statement pieces, often incorporating vintage finds and unique accessories.
Abby Winbury Netflix Of all the characters in The Perfect Couple, Abby Winbury is trying the hardest to dress like someone else. As Sejlund told Variety, “She’s very feminine but almost in a little bit of an aggressive, annoying way…She sort of really wants Greer to like her, and she might even want to be Greer at some point.” Thus, Greer’s daughter-in-law gravitates toward Greer’s fine fabrics and florals, but with a harsher edge: Abby’s color palette is all bright yellows and mauve-ish pinks, her clothes festooned with girlish ruffles, polka dots, and pleats—details Greer herself wears only rarely. Abby wields the Nantucket look like a weapon; Greer wears it like a shield. Abby is desperate to give birth to a baby girl; Greer has only boys. Abby freaks out when the Winbury brothers nearly smear cake on her “vintage” dress; Greer’s rarely even in the vicinity of mess. The differences between these characters—and their clothes—are clear.
Fashion is a powerful tool for self-expression, a way to communicate your identity and values. It can be a powerful tool for social change, and it can even be a source of comfort and joy. The summary provided is a brief introduction to the concept of fashion and its impact on individuals and society.
Chloe Carter, Isabel Nallet, and More Netflix Easily overlooked amongst the more major characters in The Perfect Couple, Chloe Carter, Isabel Nallet, and several other women in the series sport outfits deserving of more than the few frames they receive. Isabel, the melodramatic French guest-of-honor, adorns herself in romantic jewel tones with long sleeves and feathered hems. Chloe—one of the youngest members of the cast—opts for a suede jacket and butter-colored hoodie when she’s not in her pressed-white server digs (paired with a polka-dot necktie, naturally). Greer’s PR team members and jeweler all get their own trademark styles: collared shirts, printed wrap gowns, moto jackets, denim dresses, and simple but chunky jewelry.
Their clothes, unlike Greer’s or Abby’s or even Merritt’s, feel lived-in and loved—much more like something guests sans trust funds might wear to an unintentional murder-mystery party. And if you are going to show up to an unintentional murder-mystery party, you might as well look and feel good doing it.
