    Low-Rise Jeans, JNCOs, and Fred Durst's Red Hat With "Y2K" Costume Designer Katina Danabassis

    It's time to party like it's 1999! For this special NYE bonus episode, we're thrilled to welcome costume designer Katina Danabassis to the pod to discuss her work in the new A24 horror-comedy Y2K! Katina takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the turn of the millennium, where cyber-optimism and late 90s/2000s style ruled. From the shiny, chrome-infused looks to the iconic brands that defined the era (Abercrombie! Tommy Hilfiger!), Katina's costumes for Y2K perfectly capture the essence of this moment in time. She tells us how she meticulously sourced vintage pieces, collaborated with the cast, and infused personal touches to make the fashion in Y2K feel authentic. She also tells us about designing the costumes in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Past Lives, what it's like working with Zendaya, and why "Go" is such an important movie. Whether you're a former JNCO-wearing raver, a nu-metal freak, or simply someone who loves a heavy dose of 90s/2000s nostalgia, this episode is a must for your ears!  Follow Katina on Instagram!  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on: Instagram at @makeovermontagepodcast TikTok at @makeovermontagepodcast YouTube at @makeovermontage Follow Marie on Instagram and Blaire on Instagram Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!  To request a movie for us to cover, DM us on Instagram or hit us up at makeovermontagepod[at]gmail.com.

    Bright Hair and Orange Hoodies in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

    Drum roll, please! For our final installment of our annual Dunstcember programming, we’re (finally) diving into Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! Directed by the brill Charlie Kaufman, this mind-bending movie explores the idea of erasing memories of a failed relationship. Kate Winslet SHINES as the quirky and chaotic Clementine, with her ever-changing hair colors and eclectic vintage-inspired wardrobe. Costume designer Melissa Toth did an amazing job capturing Clementine's effortless, thrifted cool-girl aesthetic, right down to that signature orange hoodie.  The film is STACKED with familiar and favorite faces, from preciouso Elijah Wood to cutie Mark Ruffalo—and Jim Carrey is so depression-hot in this one. While our beloved Kiki Dunst isn’t the lead, she is a major part of the plot. This film is a true cinematic masterpiece, with its nonlinear storytelling, beautiful cinematography, and surreal dream sequences. We break down all the best fashion moments, from Clementine's cozy winter looks to her shocking skeleton jumpsuit. Other CHAT topics: Clementine as the anti-manic pixie dream girl, the enduring love for “‘90s Cool Girl Style,” our history of all the menz we've loved on this podcast in the past six years, including problematics.

    1970s Overalls and Sleazy Suits in All Good Things (2010)

    Our dear Makeover Mavens...(lol), we're deep in Dunstcember, and this week, Blaire is bringing her true crime pick: All Good Things. Those of you who watched The Jinx and followed the weird story of New York real estate heir and convicted murderer Robert Durst may be familiar with this film. It is "loosely based" on Durst and stars our sweet Kirsten Dunst and our beloved Ryan Gosling! There are a lot of '70s looks in this, which Kirsten can pull off like no other. Costumes were designed by the legendary Michael Clancy who did our fave film Party Girl! We discuss Sarah Michell Gellar's recent week in media and learn the origin of Blaire's motto, uttered by Kristen Wiig in this film, "Eat your salad."  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on: Instagram at @makeovermontagepodcast TikTok at @makeovermontagepodcast YouTube at @makeovermontage Follow Marie on Instagram and Blaire on Instagram Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!  To request a movie for us to cover, DM us on Instagram or hit us up at makeovermontagepod[at]gmail.com.

    Kirsten Dunst's Platform Flip Flops In Get Over It (2001)

    DUNSTCEMBER HAS ARRIVED! We're kicking things off with one of the lower-tier (said lovingly) Shakespeare-inspired teen comedies: Get Over It! Not to be confused with A Midsummer Night's Rave...this loosely-based, A Midsummer Night's Dream adaptation stars Ben Foster as a high school senior trying to win back his ex-girlfriend by joining the school play. The film is stacked with more familiar faces like Sisqo, Mila Kunis, Shane West, and Martin Short (who is basically playing a young version of Oliver from Only Murders?!). Costume designer Mary Jane Fort, who also did Mean Girls and Bring It On, put Kirsten Dunst and co. in platform flip flops and graphic tanks galore. Vitamin C also makes an appearance. Dust off your Frankenflops and join the fun!  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on: Instagram at @makeovermontagepodcast TikTok at @makeovermontagepodcast YouTube at @makeovermontage Follow Marie on Instagram and Blaire on Instagram Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!  To request a movie for us to cover, DM us on Instagram or hit us up at makeovermontagepod[at]gmail.com.

    Catwoman's Stitched Up Latex Suit and Michael Keaton's "Hot Eyes" in Batman Returns

    We’re diving into the 1992 film Batman Returns, which is over-the-top and comic book-y in the best way that only director Tim Burton could do. Costume designers Bob Ringwood and Mary E. Vogt teamed up for this one, with Vogt overseeing Catwoman’s iconic look. We discuss Selina Kyle’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) transformation from bookish executive assistant to her DIY latex suit and the other wild costumes in the film. Other topics include Michael Keaton’s hotness, Marie watching True Blood for the first time, and...we’re gearing up for Dunstcember! HOMEWORK: Leave a message telling us about the one outfit in a movie that you think about a lot!

    Bubble Skirts and Fishnet Arm Slings in Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

    Feed me, Seymour! We’re diving into Little Shop of Horrors, the 1986 musical comedy about a sentient plant that’s hungry for human blood. This pick comes courtesy of Blaire, a self-proclaimed "musical hater" with one major exception: this cult classic. Marit Allen (Eyes Wide Shut, Brokeback Mountain, The Witches) was the costume designer behind these fun '80s-does-50s/60s' looks, and we quickly see similarities between some costumes in this and another movie she designed, Mermaids. From Audrey’s leopard print wiggle dress to Seymour’s dork-chic plaids, we have a grand old time dissecting these campy costumes. Other topics include childhood crushes on Rick Moranis, Steve Guttenberg, and Bill Murray; Megan Thee Stallion's looks in the "Bigger In Texas" music video; Georgina Trevino's my cunty purse; whether or not we're watching Wicked, "Adele Dazeem," and more unhinged tomfoolery from your favorite costume design-loving duo.  HOMEWORK: Leave a message telling us about the one outfit in a movie that you think about a lot!

    Flight Attendant Fashion and “Rich Face” in View From the Top (2003) With Macy Eleni

    TikTok thrifting queen and sustainable style icon Macy Eleni joins the pod to talk about one of her favorite films — 2003’s View from the Top, a lesser-known, underrated film from the early aughts, rom-com era. Gwyneth Paltrow is Donna, a small-town girl with big hair and an even bigger ambition to be a Chanel lipstick-wearing, first-class international flight attendant! Costume designer Mary Zophres (La La Land, Babylon, Ghost World) put Paltrow, Christina Applegate, Kelly Preston, and Candice Bergen in Moschino, D&G, Betsey Johnson, Versace, Escada, and DVF from the era, and every look is DIVINE! And the flight attendant uniforms range from sassy to sophisticated. This is a true, overlooked fashion movie that we are unearthing TODAY! We also discuss our love for Brittany Murphy, Gwyneth's "rich face," the power of pawn shop finds, and, of course, Macy's new book, Second Chances! Plus, so much more.  Mentions and links: https://floodmagazine.com/128953/rearview-mirror-view-from-the-top/ Virginia Fontaine Get Macy's new book: Second Chances: The Ultimate Guide to Thrifting, Sustainable Style, and Expressing Your Most Authentic Self.
