For season three Jodie Comer’s Villanelle in the much talked about Killing Eve is looking quite different from her glossy assassin in the previous two seasons. Nevertheless she is still in a role which we grew to love and hate.
Costume designer Sam Perry follows the evolution of Villanelle through her even more distinguished and extravagant fashion taste. Villanelle just as before experiments with fashion however she’s more daring than ever and just as before unafraid of standing out.
In her latest interview for the New York Times, Jodie shared how she was passing her time in lock-down, and it mostly consisted of Pilates, making sure not to drink wine in the sun, and making sure to keep up with her much improved skincare routine.
“The film I was doing went on hiatus. When I came back home to Liverpool, I cleaned all of my makeup brushes. I’m waiting for the day when we can all go out and party together again. The brushes, they are ready to go!” she shares with the New York Times.
Yet for a lot of us online shopping or browsing for the same is the favourite knockdown pastime. While we are getting ready to step outside this Summer Vilanelle’s outfits from season 3 have become some of the most coveted pieces to shop online.
DESIGN SCENE magazine’s Fashion Director Katarina Djoric selects her favourite outfits from the latest Killing Eve episodes along with finding the best place for you to shop online for the same:
Villanelle obviously enjoys high-end fashion. Her sense of style will always be there, even if she doesn’t have the funds. – said costume designer Sam Perry for Vogue. There wasn’t an intention to give season three a ’70s feel in particular, but I think maybe a vintage-inspired vibe crept in there. Some of the outfits have a ’60s, ’70s and ’80s edge to them. – she added.
Villanelle in a Halpern SS20 suit that epitomises the 1970s and 1980s inspiration, with a vibrant palette and exaggerated features and a platform boots by Simon Miller. The Halpern psychedelic suit definitely had a nod to swinging London. – said Perry for Vogue.
