Montecito, California \u2014 nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean \u2014 ranks among the world\u2019s most exclusive enclaves. It\u2019s where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle call home, as well as Oprah Winfrey and Ariana Grande. The ultra-private coastal pocket also serves as the backdrop for Beef <\/em> Season 2. Creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin sets the latest installment at a Montecito country club, spotlighting the area\u2019s elite lifestyle. \u201cThere\u2019s a very specific California wealth that is different from a kind of collegiate East Coast aesthetic, or in the South, where it\u2019s a bit more pastel-y,\u201d the show\u2019s costume designer, Olga Mill<\/a>, tells TZR on a call. <\/p>\n

The second installment of the critically acclaimed Netflix anthology follows a Gen Z couple, Austin and Ashley (played by actors Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny), who witness an intense altercation between millennial spouses Josh and Lindsay (Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan). The former work for the latter at the aforementioned elite country club, before becoming entangled in their employers\u2019 relationship. <\/p>\n

As with any series, the wardrobe served a pivotal role in bringing the story to life. \u201cBeef<\/em> always explores a deep character study, and that plays into the costume design, too,\u201d says Mill. Take Mulligan\u2019s character, Lindsay, an interior designer from an old-money English background. \u201cShe\u2019s someone who is really aware of how she\u2019s presenting herself to the world,\u201d Mill explains, noting that Lindsay takes particular pride in her personal style \u2014 one that mirrors her eye for interiors. \u201cWe wanted her to feel almost overwhelmed by pattern.\u201d To that end, Lindsay is frequently dressed in Marie Antoinette\u2013esque prints and artisanal textures, wearing labels like La Ligne, S\u00e9zane, D\u00f4en, and Chan Luu.<\/p>\n
