Euphoria Season 3: Adult Style Evolves
15 Jun
Summary
- Costume design reflects characters' post-high school adult identities.
- Lexi's style evolved to reflect liberal arts college and vintage fashion.
- Rue's chameleon-like style subtly adapts to new environments and people.
As "Euphoria" prepares for its final season in 2026, costume designer Natasha Newman-Thomas faced the challenge of evolving characters from high school students to young adults.
Newman-Thomas worked closely with showrunner Sam Levinson, reviewing scripts and dedicating preproduction time to envision how four years would shape each character's identity. This informed the creation of distinct adult styles for the ensemble cast.
Specific examples include Lexi Howard, whose style progresses to reflect a liberal arts college background and an interest in vintage clothing, seen as an expression of individualism. Rue's costume design continues her chameleon-like approach, subtly absorbing elements from her current environment, whether from casual bars or more workwear-influenced settings, without drastic emotional shifts.
The "IndieWire's Craft Roundtables" featuring this discussion are available on the PBS App.
