Fantastic costuming in The Residence (Netflix).

Particularly for Uzo Aduba's Cordelia Cupp. So often on S&B posters over size 8 complain about not being able to wear this or that - buttoned shirts, tailored jackets, wide trousers - but she appeared in all of those things and looked utterly splendid.

Was also a really fun show that just got better and better as it went on.

Not a single person on MN has seen it or is currently watching? You’re missing out Grin

We binged it and loved it
I thought the styling was great too

I watched the first 2 episodes with my son but I promised not to watch any more until he can come and watch it with me - he doesn't have Netflix. I noticed her jacket straight away and commented on it - I don't usually notice clothes at all. I like it, it reminds me a bit of Only Murders in the Building.

I’ve just finished episode 6 - it’s great fun! 😆

Full disclosure - there is another thread about the show more generally.

This one is about the clothes.

Loved it, she looked fantastic in her outfits

VexedofVirginiaWater · 30/03/2025 20:35

Ha yeah - I realised that after I'd posted, sorry.

ShockedandStunnedRepeatedly · 30/03/2025 20:39

Possibly tailor made or at least altered to fit perfectly?

ANagsHead · 30/03/2025 20:45

I’d assumed her clothes were specially made until reading the articles above. The second gives all the sources. But I’d be very surprised if they weren’t all altered to fit her perfectly.

Ive just finished it and agreed Detective Cupp's clothes looked great. 👌

A v neck tank top over a shirt helps cover gaping buttons and the jacket probably wouldn’t do up on my figure, so it’s a way to add warmth without doing up buttons on a jacket. Maybe they weren’t altered. Does she only wear that one outfit? Does look great on her. I’ll take notes for autumn! I just wish more shops cut for an actual shape rather than just straight up and down!

ANagsHead · 31/03/2025 09:34

No, she definitely wears more than one outfit! And very different clothes in a different environment, which look equally good. (Spoilers!)

Ah right - only saw one mentioned in the article ! Haven’t watched it yet…

Her hair is delish! Love those cotton shirts on her too,not always white, but beige or cream. Loving her styling all over 🥰
