With lying, secrets, betrayal, and loads of juicy drama in every episode, you can pretty much guarantee Imperfect Women<\/em>, Apple TV+\u2019s newest miniseries, is going to hook you in. Premiering March 18, the show stars Kerry Washington<\/a> (who portrays Eleanor), Elisabeth Moss (Nancy), and Kate Mara (Mary) as three lifelong friends whose tight-knit bond unravels after one is murdered. Set against the backdrop of wealthy Los Angeles neighborhoods, the fashion in the show plays a pivotal role in bringing the story to life, says costume designer Tiffany Hasbourne<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had so many designers loan us pieces to help tell the story,\u201d Hasbourne tells TZR. The differences between the characters were key: \u201cEleanor is naturally fashionable, while Mary is trying to fit in,\u201d she says. Developing these style journey\u2019s, however, was no easy feat. Hasbourne was tasked with building out a full costume deck for the three leads \u2014 after reading the script for only the first episode. \u201cI basically had to talk myself through how to make them all look like individuals, while still making sense when the three of them were together,\u201d she says, noting that the vision board took two weeks to complete.<\/p>\n

The series also marked Hasbourne\u2019s first time working on a set led by so many creatively collaborative, trailblazing females. \u201cKate has an opinion; Kerry has an opinion; Lizzie has her opinion,\u201d Hasbourne, who was behind the costumes on shows like Atlanta<\/em> and Ballers<\/em>, says. \u201cIt\u2019s the first time I’ve been on a set where I’ve honestly seen women in power have conversations.\u201d <\/p>\n

That dialogue extended to specific styling choices. For instance, because Eleanor\u2019s family hails from Boston, Hasbourne pulled pieces from brands like Ralph Lauren to reflect her preppy roots. Though Kay Oyegun, the show\u2019s executive producer and writer, questioned the direction, Hasbourne walked her through the logic. \u201cIt’s also the first time I feel like I had a safe place to create and to be heard,\u201d Hasbourne adds. <\/p>\n

The costume designer also utilized technology to streamline fittings amid the actors\u2019 busy schedules. \u201cI had a mannequin built of each of their bodies,\u201d she explains. \u201cSo as the wardrobe came in, that\u2019s how we ended up doing the fittings until they were available,\u201d Hasbourne notes. The process, she adds, made her life much easier to determine what would actually work for each character. <\/p>\n

Without further ado, take a closer look at each female character\u2019s fashion in Imperfect Women.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eleanor <\/h2>\n

From the first episode, viewers don\u2019t yet know Eleanor\u2019s full story, Hasbourne explains. \u201cYou just see her as this philanthropist who travels the world and picks up fashionable pieces along the way \u2014 that was my pitch,\u201d she says, reflecting on the interview process. \u201cEleanor isn\u2019t someone who changes outfits 10 times a day; she\u2019s quite grounded, even though the audience doesn\u2019t initially realize she comes from money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hasbourne was intentional about every piece she put on Eleanor \u2014 and each character, for that matter. Take the moment when Eleanor knows the police will be questioning her about a murder (no spoilers here). She doesn\u2019t show up in the middle of the night in pajamas but rather tailored separates. \u201cThis is a woman who comes from money, and she knows how to present herself,\u201d Hasbourne says. Throughout the series, Eleanor is seen in luxury labels like Chanel<\/a>, Phoebe Philo, and Valentino. But the wardrobe isn\u2019t limited to big fashion houses. One standout look \u2014 a burgundy gown paired with crystal-adorned gloves for a ballet outing at the end of episode one \u2014 was designed by Hasbourne herself.<\/p>\n

Mary <\/h2>\n

\u201cMary is the grounded mom \u2014 you go to her house, and there are always kids around,\u201d says Hasbourne. \u201cShe gave up her career to support her husband\u2019s, but she\u2019s still very much rooted in who she is,\u201d she adds. For Hasbourne, the challenge was showing Mary\u2019s sense of independence through her wardrobe. Unlike her two wealthy friends, Mary is middle class \u2014 a distinction reflected in her clothing. Hasbourne dressed her in playful, slightly offbeat silhouettes and contemporary brands like Clare V., a label the actor herself loves. \u201cAt no point did it feel like Mary didn\u2019t belong,\u201d Hasbourne notes. \u201cJust because she\u2019s not wearing the same designers as the others doesn\u2019t mean she isn\u2019t put together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy <\/h2>\n

As a former ballet dancer, Nancy\u2019s style subtly nods to her past through sweet necklines and ballerina-inspired footwear. \u201cShe sits on the board at the ballet, but I still wanted her to feel polished and professional,\u201d Hasbourne explains. In college flashbacks, the costume designer leaned into pastels to highlight her softer side. As an adult, however, Nancy is far more confident in her fashion choices \u2014 like wearing a Schiaparelli dress to dinner. Beyond the luxury label, her wardrobe features labels like Tom Ford, McQueen, and Dior. \u201cNancy carries an exclusive Dior bag she picked up in Abu Dhabi,\u201d Hasbourne adds.<\/p>\n
