Sinopsis

Imagine if your too-good-to-be-true boo was actually an android?! In this episode, Marie talks to Companion costume designer Vanessa Porter about her work on the sci-fi rom-com thriller, which stars Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid as a couple on a getaway with friends at a remote cabin—until hell breaks loose when one of the guests is revealed to be a companion robot! Vanessa breaks down how Iris’s (Sophie Thatcher) French New Wave-inspired wardrobe of pastel cardigans, gingham rompers, and Reformation-worthy sundresses isn’t just style goals, it’s a commentary on control, fantasy, and good ol’ toxic masculinity. They also discuss how dressing a character who doesn’t pick her own outfits flips the script on traditional costuming, and how each carefully coordinated look reflects her creator’s fantasy more than Iris herself. Plus: the cult-favorite necklace Marie’s adding to cart, which classic brand is a Tradwife staple, and how to design a Stepford Wifey outfit with just the right amount of blood splatter. Tun
