Ms. Harris' costumes go to Paris, which helped her get into character better

In the extravagant fairy tale for adults Mrs. Harris goes to Paris, part of the emphasis of the story is what you wear to give your best. It’s a practice that actors are quite used to, but when it comes to co-writer / director Anthony Fabian’s adaptation of Paul Gallico’s 1958 novel, it’s also an important part of the plot. in one new movie release where a London housekeeper aspires to dress in high fashion, the wardrobe is absolutely essential.

Since everyone has a look that suits their characters perfectly, you’d be surprised how much the smallest details can really make an actor’s performance. In that sense, there were costume pieces that Lesley Manville, Lucas Bravo, and Isabelle Huppert wore that felt really anchored to their characters. I asked them so much on press day Mrs. Harris goes to Parisas the costumes for the whole movie are great.

We will start with Ada Harris herself, Lesley Manville. Running the gamut between Christian Dior’s dresses and her everyday workwear, part of Ada’s journey sees her go from salons to dressing rooms. But the one aspect that she really nailed her Mrs. Harris goes to Paris protagonist was a simple and sincere accent. Here’s the costume Manville told Gossipify that he helped the most:

Well, I think it should be Ada’s hat, really. Because her hat is a bit of a must, in the sense that she added little things to cheer him up. It is probably a problem that you have been having for decades, you have been through the war and it looks a little tired. So loyal to Ada, that instead of throwing it away, which she can’t afford, besides everything else, she just takes a few flowers and adds more. And this is part of it. And in a way, it’s a good metaphor for what Ada is.

Long Mrs. Harris goes to Paris, we see Ada Harris wearing different types of hats. Since she ends up staying in the City of Lights longer than expected, she has to. Thanks to the kind invitation of André Fauvel (Lucas Bravo), accountant who works at the Maison Dior, Ada finds a place to stay while waiting for the realization of her Christian Dior dress.

Fortunately, the wardrobe of André’s absent sister Sandrine is open to her clothing needs. Although unfortunately, as Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan pointed out in the film’s production notes, Ada and Sandrine are No the same point.

Our young accountant is an interesting fashion student, and in playing her Mrs. Harris goes to Paris character, Lucas Bravo had to do something new in terms of costumes. Highlighting a particular outfit, one of the protagonists of cast of netflix Emilia in Paris admits that the move to retro really appealed to her character’s process in the following ways:

I would say that in the film I have two suits, but I would say the gray, the gray, the accountant. It was his first time wearing a period suit, and he’s the accountant, and the cuts are very 50s, so it really helps to project the character. I felt very good, I was also very comfortable. Big pants and small shoes. … So chic and comfortable at the same time. I do not know what happened

Time Mrs. Harris goes to Paris diversified starting material in a way, the wardrobe was one of the more traditional aspects. In this sense, too, there was still room for invention. Jenny Beavan, one of the The 2022 Oscar winners for his custom work with Emma Stone and the cast of cruelIn fact, he managed to create two original dresses, “Tentation” and “Venus”, which are exhibited among the replicas of existing authentic Christian Dior pieces. Although she based these pieces on other Dior dresses of the era and aesthetics, Beavan managed to cross the line between history and fantasy in a wonderful way.

In the realm of convention, Jenny Beavan’s sense of style helped another actor get into character. In the case of Isabelle Huppert’s Claudine Colbert, Mrs. Harris returns from Paris the costume designer mostly stuck to what she called a wonderful but “very, very strict” fashion style. Wearing black for most of her screen time, Huppert found variety in wardrobe designs, as noted in her comment on her wardrobe:

There is a kind of harmony between all my outfits. Well, not the last, of course, but we don’t talk much about the last. Not to give the story too much away, but Madame Colbert is always dressed in black in different ways. Each dress is different. I like some more than others, but they’re all a lot, you know, she’s got some kind of uniform. Because she also has a good maid uniform, but very elegant, because she represents Dior. And she has to look a certain way, of course, because she’s supposed to be hosting all the rich and famous. So you have a certain obligation to look a certain way and a certain pleasure, of course, to look that way.

Conveying an era or a mode of style in a given context is difficult enough, e Mrs. Harris goes to Paris It hits landing quite well. With every little touch that allows Lesley Manville, Lucas Bravo and Isabelle Huppert to take root in the character, the performances look as good as fashion. It could also be said that when it comes to this wonderfully romantic game, Jenny Beavan’s costume work counts as the great “special effect” that puts the film’s show in the right place.
