Hollywood Directors Inspired Emily Blunt’s Look

Costume designer Sarah Evelyn’s creative process for “The Fall Guy” involved a deep dive into the world of iconic ’80s fashion and female directors’ wardrobes. Inspired by the likes of Lauren Hutton, Brooke Shields, Kathryn Bigelow, and Greta Gerwig, Evelyn crafted a unique style for Emily Blunt’s character, Jody, an aspiring film director.

The film, starring Ryan Gosling as veteran stuntman Colt Seavers, follows a gripping plot involving a murder mystery and a romantic comedy subplot with Jody. Evelyn’s attention to detail and dedication to creating timeless looks led her to vintage shopping in Los Angeles and collaborating with brands like Wrangler and CAT for workwear.

One standout piece in Jody’s wardrobe is a pink jumpsuit from Wrangler, paired with a Hawaiian shirt, leather belt, and Red Wing work boots. Evelyn’s personal touch and collaboration with the film’s crew brought Jody’s character to life on screen.

Additionally, Colt’s “Miami Vice Stunt Team” jacket became a symbol of collaboration and creativity on set, reflecting director David Leitch’s influence. The jacket, carefully chosen by Gosling and his stylist, Mark Avery, added depth to Colt’s character and highlighted the collaborative spirit of the production.

Evelyn’s meticulous approach to costume design and her ability to draw inspiration from various sources resulted in a visually stunning and character-driven wardrobe for “The Fall Guy.” The film’s unique blend of action, mystery, and romance is complemented by the attention to detail in the costumes, making it a must-watch for fans of both fashion and film.
