"We wanted it to feel like a beautiful, sexy dress—but just a little bit off."
Euphoria season 3 costume lead Natasha Newman-Thomas stated in an interview with InStyle that the wardrobe malfunctions during Cassie and Nate's wedding scene were intentional.
Key Details
- Sydney Sweeney wore a custom corseted gown by Jackson Wiederhoeft.
- The costume designer chose not to tape the gown, embracing the mishaps as part of the scene's psychology.
- Custom pasties were made from the same hand-beaded fabric to match the dress.
- Newman-Thomas said the design reflected Cassie's psychology, aiming for a beautiful, sexy dress with a touch of tackiness.
The deliberate "flaws" were meant to underscore Cassie's internal instability even as she outwardly pursued a picture-perfect wedding.
Background
- In season 3, Cassie starts an OnlyFans career and uses those earnings to fund the wedding—a choice that colors every garment she wears.
- Earlier costumes in the season, including one resembling a baby, received significant backlash from fans and critics.
- The first three episodes of Euphoria season 3 are now streaming on HBO Max.
