In this episode of Decorating Pages, set decorator and host Kim Wannop sits down with costume designer Jennifer Johnson to break down the costume design of Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone. Jennifer walks through how she built Michelle’s now-iconic look: a McQueen-inspired power suit, custom skirt, burgundy overcoat, statement bag, and sky-high heels, all chosen to telegraph power, privilege, and a character whose presence feels just a little… off in every room she walks into. They talk about: shaving Emma Stone’s head on camera and designing the basement sequence so Michelle still holds onto her power and dignity choosing the pink floral dress that once belonged to Teddy’s mother and how that small costume change completely flips the power dynamic turning a real beekeeper’s suit into Teddy’s grimy everyday costume, complete with smoke, wax, and honey stains that informed the rest of his world custom-building Teddy and Don’s suits with vintage fabrics so they read as real “dad suits” instead of slick fast fashion collaborating with production designer James Price on the film’s final council sequence: an organic, almost uterine, jellyfish-like environment built with miles of hand-knotted crinoline that feels strangely intimate and ceremonial rather than tech-heavy If you’re into costume design, production design, set decoration, and behind-the-scenes film craft, this Bugonia deep dive is for you. 🔔 Subscribe to the Decorating Pages channel for more interviews with Production Designers, Set Decorators, Costume Designers, and Art Department pros.

Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia: Costume Designer Jennifer Johnson uses a dress to signal a massive power shift. The dress, antithesis to Michelle, reveals the chess match at the dinner table & a man’s descent into madness. #Bugonia #YorgosLanthimos #JenniferJohnson #CostumeDesign #FilmAnalysis

In this episode of Decorating Pages, I’m talking with costume designer Jennifer Johnson about the wild, layered costume design of Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone. We start with Michelle’s single, unforgettable look: a McQueen-inspired power suit, custom skirt and burgundy overcoat all chosen to telegraph power, control, and a character who always feels slightly out of step with the people around her. Jennifer and I dive into: • shaving Emma Stone’s head on camera and designing the basement sequence so Michelle stays powerful, not sexualized • putting her into Teddy’s mother’s pink floral dress and how that small costume change completely shifts the emotional balance • building Teddy’s world from a real beekeeper’s aged, smoke-stained suit and letting that grime drive both costume and set choices • custom-making Teddy and Don’s suits with vintage fabrics so they feel like real, lived-in “dad suits” on VistaVision • collaborating with production designer James Price on the film’s climactic council scene: a highly stylized, organic space built from miles of hand-knotted crinoline that feels part ritual, part biology, and totally unique If you’re obsessed with costume design, production design, set decoration, and the craft of visual storytelling, this Bugonia episode is a deep dive into how far one team will go to make every stitch and stain matter 👉 Get the FREE Quick Reference Set Decorating Template: www.decoratingpagespodcast.com Discover the Art of TV & Film Design with Decorating Pages Podcast Hosted by Emmy-winning Set Decorator Kim Wannop, this podcast takes you behind the scenes of your favorite shows and movies.
