Emma Corrin recently starred as the supervillain Cassandra Nova in Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine and knew that the press tour wardrobe needed to be bold and eye-catching. Teaming up with stylist Harry Lambert, Corrin created looks inspired by Cassandra’s character without going overboard. They started early on the project and focused on incorporating elements of the character, such as their penchant for belts, into the outfits. Lambert emphasized the importance of capturing the essence of Cassandra rather than being too literal with the references.
The duo decided on a “modern Old Hollywood” influence for the looks, drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich. With the help of Corrin’s hair and makeup team, Gina Kane and Dan Martin, they brought this vision to life. Lambert describes the overall aesthetic as having a gothic and slightly evil vibe, with the Schiaparelli couture belt jacket, pants, and corset being a standout homage to Emma’s character. They focused on creating a look that embodied the essence of Cassandra through makeup, hair, and energy.
Throughout the press tour, Corrin showcased a range of jaw-dropping looks, including pieces from Schiaparelli couture, Saint Laurent’s fall 2024 collection, and custom designs from Miu Miu and Nina Ricci. The tour also provided an opportunity for the pair to highlight emerging talents like LVMH Fund finalist Hodakova and Central Saint Martins graduates Freddy Coomes and Joshua Ewusie. Corrin expresses their love for collaborating with Lambert, noting their shared sense of style and a willingness to take risks and be unexpected with their fashion choices.
The collaboration between Corrin and Lambert resulted in a series of striking looks that captured the essence of Cassandra Nova while also allowing room for creativity and individuality. By taking inspiration from Old Hollywood glamour and incorporating modern elements, they were able to create a unique and memorable wardrobe for the press tour. The emphasis on showcasing emerging designers and talents further added depth and dimension to the looks, highlighting Corrin’s commitment to supporting and uplifting the fashion community.
With exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the press tour, Corrin offers a glimpse into the process of creating the looks and the team effort involved in bringing the vision to life. From luxurious couture pieces to edgy custom designs, each outfit was carefully curated to reflect the character of Cassandra Nova while also infusing a sense of modernity and innovation. Corrin’s adventurous spirit and Lambert’s keen eye for detail shine through in each ensemble, creating a dazzling showcase of fashion and creativity.
