Been watching this on Netflix, some of the clothes are fabulous - anyone else seen it?

Just finished it! Couldn’t get enough of the clothes (and sets!). The lead actress is made for 60’s fashions- she sure rolls through a few of them. How about that ‘winter white’ ensemble in the final scene? Head to toe white wool, with that bright red hair. Swoon!

Yes that was amazing! I loved the black & white dress she wore for (I think) the first day of the Russian competition

I'm loving it and about half way through the series now. The way they've filmed it seems to make the clothes and sets stand out and look really gorgeous. The hotel room decor is particularly stunning!

I loved the blue of the living room in the house

I love 60s stuff anyway, just wish I could lose 2 stone to look more like the lead!!!

Ooihhh gawd yes there's some amazing clothes in that show!

And she's so gorgeous! Very twiggy like.

Has anyone noticed that she never wears heels? Always flats?

In that final scene she was dressed to resemble the White Queen

Yes yes! I loved it and thought she looked stunning!! Wish we still wore clothes like that. Feel so scruffy in comparison. I noticed the gorgeous flats too and loved the white outfit. And her hair.

Also loved the clothes and sets in Ratched (spelling) but only watched the first couple of episodes - couldn't get into it.

I loved all the hats that the female characters wore. When Beth was in a department store and bumped into an old schoolfriend, the friend had a great hat on that really epitomises 1960s style!

I've not finished watching yet so please, no spoilers! But yes it's great. I'm often pissed off when they get the clothes and the music and the overall look right and even hire the best actors but then the drama itself is weak. (Yes you, Mrs America). But this is flawless. My only carp is that it's heavily stylised - I don't remember anyone looking this elegant as this in the 60s. But I'll let them off.
