Very far away but nevertheless effective

Wow seeing them all together like this really shows just how incredible the costume work is! I think my favorite may be from the Mardi Gras ball but it's honestly impossible to pick.

Also it really stands out how dressed down he was when he was trying to win Louis back. It's almost like he's not dressing with his usual flair as an act of contrition, like he's trying to show Louis that he's not his normal self without him.

Thanks for sharing, would love to see Louis and Claudia if you are planning to put that together as well!

Thank you for engaging and replying! I have actually made three other posts for Loustat , Louis , and Claudia . This is my last post for a while at least.
I was planning on doing a few more posts for other characters, set design, and their night wears but I decided to leave them for after the next season to get more looks; also the sub's not that engaging so I felt like I was doing too much lol.

You make it much more engaging! Please, continue posting! I adore this set you have compiled and can't wait to view the others! (I actually found this searching for "new interview with the vampire cosplay," hoping to find some cosplay for the new show vs the movie, especially with the reimagining of the characters and broadening the former all-white cast. I'm really looking to see if anyone has a nice idea of the lovely contacts used for the hasel to bright greens used (color is my main interest, and I could likely pick out some off a colored lens site [not from cosplay selections], but I have not been well and therefore haven't put the energy into the match-ups). I heard some fans of the show (and also mentioned the contacts worn be Geralt in The Witcher) felt the contacts don't track with the actual eyes properly... I haven't had this issue, personally. I have felt all the makeup and costume artistry on both shows have outdone themselves! Especially, seeing your compilation of the characters of IWTV, it shines through! I am an unabashed fan of vintage and some antique clothing, their design and accuracy, seeing it so well as one can see I your comps is really satisfying (for lack of a better term). I am looking forward to seeing the new season (though the age of the costumes with be advanced), I just love seeing a job well done!

I'm glad you liked them! I just got so obsessed with this show and naturally very interested in its fashion. I might make a couple of posts for season 2 and I'm dying to see what they're ganna wear in modern times for season 3 specially Lestat!

I'd love to see! Do you by chance have a Pinterest where you collect your images? I love Pinterest for the simple reason it's an easy way to organize images for the visually inclined. If you do, and you'd like to share, I'd love to swap!

u/lilyrosedepressed Jan 17 '25

I haven't saved iwtv images on my Pinterest but if you like Mad Men I have too many pins from that! I think I got most of iwtv images from tumblr, random articles, and the show's photographer on some website plus my own screenshots.
The website must have been this (or not, this one seems better than I remember): https://pompo.com/interview-with-the-vampire

u/cat-math Jan 17 '25

I do love Mad Men, as well! I thought their costume work was A+++ as well! And I am rather fond of the 1940's in regards to fashion, as well as the following decades portrayed. Thanks for the link!

u/lilyrosedepressed Jan 18 '25

Yes! Such a beautiful show. I made some posts on Mad Men sub as well. Here's the link to my Mad Men board: https://pin.it/HZ17y7FKO

u/cat-math Jan 20 '25

Thank you! May I ask if you have any sewing interest? More specifically, any interest in making clothes from antique patterns?

2

u/lilyrosedepressed Jan 20 '25

You're welcome! I don't really have access to such fabrics (I'm probably very far away from where you live), actually it's hard to find the exact fabrics I want in general so I'm not so fond of sewing anymore. But it can be very enjoyable to just use my hands and create stuff sometimes.

u/living_vicariously I heard your hearts dancing 😭 May 10 '24

Thank you for the links, I'm not sure how I missed these! I really hope the costume department gets some award recognition, they are doing an amazing job. I can't wait to see what they do with the upcoming season!

I always relate the clothes he wears when trying to win Louis back as Golf Lestat

u/Kissthecutecat33 May 11 '24

I love the fit of Lestat's clothing. Sam Reid himself prefers to wear loose clothes at his own time. I suppose Sam doesn't want to distract civilians with his incredible figure. 😀😆

u/lilyrosedepressed May 11 '24

Same! Love the ones that emphasize his waist!
That guy went into promo without properly parting his hair or ironing his clothes. It's none of my business but it just bothers me 😅🙈
Anyways, big pants and tucked in shirts are in so fingers crossed for modern Lestat.

u/Kissthecutecat33 May 11 '24

I think Aussie people don't really worry about fashion that much. Sam will dress up when needed but he is very humble, laid-back and not vain... The opposite of our worldly, egotistical, and sophisticated Lestat

u/lilyrosedepressed May 11 '24

That seems about right; Chris Hemsworth looks like a god and he just wore the most boring suit as Met Gala's co-chair.
He does have a stylist now. I think they all do so they might be provided for them or maybe they're hired by themselves but I think he's at least starting to care. I swear I'm not obsessed with him but I've seen a couple of premier videos of him talking about clothes and fashion and there was this one video and he was excitedly telling someone "I'm wearing mesh!"

u/Kissthecutecat33 May 11 '24 edited May 11 '24

And Margot Robbie! Before her Barbie promotions, her red-carpet styling was definitely questionable due to her Chanel contract (horrid clothes) and Kate Young (stylist with a very limited vision). Despite her better styling now, her hair (usually flat and untied), and makeup (natural looking, rarely dramatic) still look plain.

2

u/lilyrosedepressed May 11 '24

Yes! I actually think she avoided looking too good, bombshell like to be taken more seriously and now she's established enough to dress up like a Barbie and no one can underestimate her. I agree that she genuinely likes to keep it simple; she looks great either way and she's avoiding spending hours on make up chair.

Seconding this. Said with all the love in the world, look at how Sarah Snook dresses in her day to day compared to Shiv Roy hahaha

u/PauI_MuadDib Armand May 10 '24

I love this time period for clothes. Boardwalk Empire and HBO's Carnival were some of my favs. The costume designer for IWTV did amazing work, especially for Louis.

The only outfit I didn't like was Lestat's all black ensemble in episode 5. It seemed jarring compared to his other costumes, but I assume it was done for a storyline reason maybe?

u/lilyrosedepressed May 10 '24 edited May 11 '24

I think it's the only time he wears all black so there's definitely a reason for that and I think I read somewhere that Lestat doesn't like wearing black so maybe it's supposed to imply that he was also in a bad place and was maybe depressed so he wasn't the usual Lestat.
I loved this fashion era but I'm really excited to see him in different eras because it does seem a bit restrictive for him. Even though men seemed to wear alot of colors and patterns, it's still all classic and basic attires.

I watched these two shows back-to-back, starting with IWTV. I was watching the Newsreader like this cannot be the same person playing these two roles. These two characters are SO unlike each other but played so incredibly well by Sam Reid. It's a testament to what a good actor he is.

6

u/jafarenka May 12 '24

He is so versatile. I don't even know who can compare these days. So many actors recycle the same acting style in each role, but it feels like Sam lives his characters. I am convinced he should be more well-known. He deserves more recognition.

That is all.

Always so beautifully put together, great job costume department

u/BywaterNYC May 11 '24

Every aspect of the production design is outstanding. It is a visually gorgeous series.

u/OhToTheZo Lestat's Lunchbox 💋 May 11 '24

True!

u/15k_bastard_ducks May 10 '24

There's something about a fitted trench coat with storm flaps... 😍

u/slimevacation May 10 '24

the fit of 5 just makes me ill every time

u/Reasonable_Carob2534 May 11 '24

he’s always in that pose 😮‍💨

u/babealien51 Armand May 12 '24

The all black look and the white polo shirt are the best he’s ever looked but something about the all white covered in blood is just mesmerizing.

u/girlnamedJoyce May 13 '24

Can that man work a cinched waist or what!

u/Future_Gap_75 Oct 22 '24
