Ryan Murphy Oversees Every AHS Costume

Ryan Murphy, co-creator of FX's anthology series American Horror Story, maintains significant control over the show's iconic costumes, with designers confirming he approves every on-camera outfit. This detail emerged during a New York Comic Con panel featuring cast members Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman, alongside costume designers Lou Eyrich and Catherine Crabtree.

Cast members reminisced about memorable styles. Billie Lourd expressed a fondness for her aerobics instructor outfits from 'American Horror Story: 1984.' Gabourey Sidibe favored her character Queenie's understated fast-food uniform, finding it the easiest of her costumes.

Murphy also revealed that Jessica Lange's agreement to return was essential for the development of season 13. He stated that he wouldn't have proceeded with the season if Lange had declined reprising her role, underscoring her importance to the series' narrative and success.

The logline for the current season, premiering on September 24, teases the return of iconic horrors and new terrors, inviting viewers to prepare for a "supreme surprise."
