Harry Styles ‘ Don’t Worry Darling’ Fashion: Best Suits From ‘DWD’
StyleCaster: He’s so golden. Harry Styles’ Don’t Worry Darling wardrobe is stunning. The 28-year-old singer and actor looks sleek alongside co-star Florence Pugh in his new movie, however, there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the psychological thriller’s costuming.

I clicked on this article because I am so excited to see Dont Worry Darling. I love this costume designer work from Once Upon A Time in Hollywood a lot and love how she does color control. Color control is so important for a costume designer to show the growth of the character and/or the plot. In the article she said how she did the costumes in 3 levels of color control. I found it really interesting how she started in a vivid color palette to show the innocence and unknownness there is in the characters' world. Then escalated from there and brought the colors more neutral. Bringing the costumes down in color while the story escalated I feel like it represents the genre of the movie. And give variety to this movie and don't keep a constant to the costumes. I really do love how this designer did color control in a way that brought chaos because that's what this movie is all about.
I am definitely excited to see Don't Worry Darling. I have seen a lot of drama and articles surrounding this movie so I'm happy to see an article that isn't focusing on that aspect of the movie rather focusing on the work the people behind the scenes put in. I love how the designer was able to focus so intently on the suits worn by Jack especially because suits can only come in so many different cuts. Kendall made a good point about the color choices within the show. The article really hones on the designers use of color and just styling choices within the character's arc. I think articles right now that are focusing on the drama are really drowning the narrative around this movie which is why Harry Styles' name was so front in center on the title of this article instead of the designer's name. I hope to see more things about the set designer and hair and make up since this movie has such a "look" to it that probably took a lot of effort.
I love a good breakdown of the costume designer’s choices in film, TV or live theater. This movie has, of course, gotten so much media attention for speculated drama surrounding the director and cast. But, I love this look at the story arch and how Phillips uses style and color to emphasize what is going on in the movie. Harry Styles is often known for his outfits and fashion, which is mentioned in this article, but I like the focus on the costume designer and how she structured her designs to fit the characters. I’m excited to see this movie when it comes out (I love Florence Pugh……), and I’ll definitely be paying attention to the costumes now! Akshatha brought up a good point: this article draws its attention by putting Styles’ name front and center with the movie title. A smart marketing move, no doubt, especially with all the drama (and the fact that he is so famous). I hope the designers get the recognition they deserve.
Like the others, I have also seen a deluge of negative buzz surrounding this movie. It's easy to focus on the director and her personal matters, and the stars of the show, but I think we all tend to forget about the hundreds of other people who put time and creative energy into these projects. So an article that's focusing on the artistry involved with storytelling is a breath of fresh air. I'm always interested in the choices costume designers make, from color to fit to the texture of the fabric. Of course, I'm aware of how costume can be used to guide and tell a story, but I don't think I've ever really considered how that can be a form of negative manipulation. I'm going to have to pay more attention to how costumes may be intentionally pulling focus from the "truth" from now on!
One of the set photos in the article shows Olivia Wilde with Harry Styles and Chris Pine in costume. I wonder if it was intentional for her to dress like the characters that day, or if it was subconscious. Not that that has any baring on anything, just a curiosity.
I clicked on this totally not realizing it was talking about suits from the universe of the movie. I thought it was going to be about the suits Harry Styles was wearing to screenings, press junkets, other events, et cetera. And if it had been that, I would have said, "I really cannot be arsed to care about what this guy is wearing any more." The rumors and stories surrounding this movie are truly unfathomable. BUT, that being said, I do love a good "designer going through their design choices moment," because anyone who knows me knows I love a good behind the scenes tour. I know Harry is often known for his outrageous and sometimes gender-nonconforming outfits and fashion, but a lot of that has got to come from his costume designers and stylists, so mad props to them for making an icon out of this guy.
Don’t Worry Darling the movie itself is not a genre of movie that I would often watch during my free time. However, from trailers and clips I’m excited to see the costume designs and how they are being used in different ways to show a particulate emotion. I watched the first trailer during May this year and I have been really interested in how costume is going to play a part in this movie. As a psychological thriller film, any part of the film will contribute and establish a certain kind of feeling for its audience, especially when we are talking about costume that is a great part of any film. Through this article, Arianne Phillips talked about her inspiration for the costumes in this show. It is really interesting in how used a cult hit as an inspiration and I would want to know more in how she transform songs into designs.
I could talk for hours about how unbelievably excited I am for “Don’t Worry Darling,” and love Florence Pugh and Harry Styles beyond words. I’m not going to lie- he REALLY knows how to pull off a suit. Seeing glimpses into the wardrobe for this movie has made me even more excited for it, and considering how little we know of the plot, gives us just a little more insight into what the movie is about. “Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood” is one of my favorite shows and I remember loving the costumes, so knowing that the costume designer is working on this as well just adds to my curiosity and excitement. Seeing how the choices relate to the fictional town of Victory and the Utopian ideas will be so interesting, and I cannot wait to see these designs come to life in this movie next weekend.
I am very excited to see this movie come out. The cast is done very well and from the clips I have seen the costumes look great and I think really will help the audience be immersed into this world. i’m really interested when I watch this movie if I’ll be able on a story that the designer has chose to say costumes. I’ve seen clips where they have started to introduce this skepticism of the victory company and how in these moments Alice is already very disheveled and confused. I think of the costumes are going to really help establish this kind of eerie feeling with the 1950s utopia. That kind of almost to perfect feeling that you see in it really reminds me of family ads from the 50s I like the sketches of the perfect most ideal family in that kind of creeps up sense of eeriness while still looking very visually pleasing but some thing it’s just off.
I have admittedly been more caught up in the behind the scenes drama than even thinking about the design of the actual show, and expected this article to be in review of some of Harry’s press looks but was happily surprised it was a walk through of the movie’s designs. I love this era of suits and men’s fashion and I think all of the pictures and descriptions will add to my experience watching the film. The design feels really cohesive and I don't think anyone is surprised that Harry and Florence can pull off most anything. The costume design really emphasizes the world of the play and the choice to put the story in this period I feel will make it even more impactful. I was already looking forward to seeing the movie but now I have a new design element to be aware of when I'm in the theater.
As mentioned in the article, Harry Styles is known for having a very bold fashion sense. So seeing him in some of these suits is almost strange due to my standard expectation for him in bright colors and more feminine articles. However, Arianne Phillips is a beautiful designer. So it is unsurprising to see these art pieces of suits on a style icon such as Styles. My favorite of the pictured costumes is the last one in the home life section. I like the pops of color as Jack's character starts adjusting to the world Victory has made, with the darker overtones. I also wonder if Phillips got any inspiration for the celebration outfit from Styles' music video "Treat People With Kindness," as the two suits look very similar. Overall the trailers lead me to believe that Don't Worry Darling is going to be quite a beautiful movie, and I cannot wait to go watch it.
