’s murder mystery party have found themselves transformed almost beyond recognition. While this has included Chloë Sevigny as a metalhead, and Judith Light and S. Epartha Merkerson as radical hippies-turned-doubly-radical-senior citizens, one transmutation stands above the rest: Episode 8’s “The Orpheus Syndrome” and the makeover given to actress Cherry Jones.

“Cherry’s ‘Laura’ was inspired by Cruella de Vil – perfectly dressed, sinister, oh-so-chic,” said costume designer Trayce Gigi Field. “I wanted ‘Laura’ to feel like money just entered the room. Perfectly tailored. Expensive taste. Visual storytelling is key with a character like Laura – you want her to be an instant read. I used my favorite women’s brands on Cherry: Max Mara, Carolina Herrera, Etro, Akris, Natori, and, shhhhhh, my secret weapon, Amazon. It’s all about how the piece is styled.

Dagenais recalled that during Jones’ on-set time that she was a “no-muss, no-fuss” woman game to bring life to Lyonne’s idea of the character.
