Costume designer Marie-An Ceo on looking to the '80s for inspiration for the slasher flick.

Director Ti West’s breathtaking horror trilogy comes to its gory, glamorous conclusion in the new film MaXXXine. Emphasis on glamorous—this one is set in the grimy underbelly of 1980s Hollywood, where there is no shortage of over-the-top makeup, acid-washed denim, and teased hair. We first fell in love with Maxine in 2022’s X, an homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre set in the 1970s, and then delved into the unhinged history that preceded her in the same year’s Pearl, set in 1918 Texas.

Did you source a lot of vintage for this film, or did you build your own costumes, or both?With Maxine’s character, we needed a lot of multiples with all the stunt doubles, but we pretty much made all of her things. We made her acid-wash jeans, we made most of her dresses; for the scene at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, we were inspired by 1930s glamour and Scarface. Ninety percent of what Maxine wore, we actually made.
