‘Sirens’ and the Seductive Power of Costume: Caroline Duncan on Dressing Desire and Control

The Art of Costume: In “Sirens and the Seductive Power of Costume: Caroline Duncan on Dressing Desire and Control,” we dive into the striking world of Sirens costume design and explore how clothes become instruments of influence, aspiration, and transformation. Costume designer Caroline Duncan walks us through the show’s most unforgettable looks—from the mythic grandeur of Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore) to Simone’s eerie visual evolution (Milly Alcock). With elegance and sharp insight, Duncan details how the costume design in Sirens is never just fabric—it’s a weapon, armor, and a means of seduction.
