8 Oct
Summary
- Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as Jackie Price, an ex-dealer targeted by assassins.
- The series draws comparisons to Killing Eve for its humor and style.
- Jackie's wardrobe blends British designers, vintage, and second-hand pieces.
Catherine Zeta-Jones embodies Jackie Price, a formidable ex-cocaine dealer, in Prime Video's new revenge thriller, Kill Jackie. The series, directed by Damon Thomas, shares similarities with Killing Eve, including dark humor and a unique central character. Zeta-Jones's real Welsh accent is featured, a first for her on-screen roles.
The wardrobe for Jackie Price is a crucial element, curated by costume designer Claire Finlay-Thompson. Inspired by 1960s graphic novels like Modesty Blaise, the look combines British designers such as Victoria Beckham and Nadine Merabi with vintage and second-hand finds. Finlay-Thompson aimed for sharp tailoring and block colors, reflecting Jackie's powerful persona.
Memorable outfits include a Roland Mouret sequined gown paired with a vintage Oscar de la Renta shrug for a scene at the Guggenheim, and a Rixo snow leopard coat for contrast on an industrial site. A custom-made, tear-away wedding dress was designed for practicality, and a striking Roland Mouret red dress was chosen for a dramatic mountain drive.
Zeta-Jones's personal style influenced some of Jackie's looks, with the actress often opting for bold red carpet choices. The finale features an acid-yellow Victoria Beckham coat and a copper Nadine Merabi jumpsuit, echoing the series' opening. Finlay-Thompson advises channeling Jackie's style with a skirt, boots, a long coat, and a tucked-in top.
