Our introduction to Mabel (Selena Gomez) in the series premiere of Only Murders in the Building spoke volumes from a style perspective.
For starters, the script noted that she should be wearing sunglasses and Beats headphones—and that was it.
Those accessories indicated someone "trying to keep the world out," costume designer Dana Covarrubias explained to E! News. "Part of her wants to stand out, part of her wants to hide, so all of those ideas were floating around in my head."
New York being one of the best places in the world to get inspired just by walking down the street and paying attention to what people are wearing, she notes, the idea of putting an outfit together"that shouldn't make sense, but it does," was key to her approach to Mabel's look.
"I wanted it to be grounded in this vintage plaid pant, then we wanted to pump it up with something punk-rock and artsy, and that's where the marigold-colored faux fur came in," Covarrubias said. "We had two or three racks full of different faux furs, and that one was just the winner."
