Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast · Marie Lodi and Blaire Bercy

Gingerbread-Blonde Wigs and Magical Chiffon Capes in Bewitched (2005)

·1 hr 22 min·5 clips
The costume concept is described as modern witchcore meeting light academia.
The episode opens with a sponsor read for The RealReal. Marie Lodi and Blair then settle into their familiar, quick banter. They spend a beat on the goat joke, and the riff keeps veering as they go. From there, the conversation wanders into a work-related sushi outing that was expensive and very good. Marie describes the chef's-choice flow of the meal and the steady stream of dishes that kept coming out. Most of it sounds delicious. The fish-eggs-on-top texture is the one thing she does not love. She also admits she was half-hoping to spot Pedro Pascal. Blair is perfectly happy to hear about any Pedro Pascal sighting. Once they get to the costumes, they start breaking down Isabel's look. They bring in notes from earlier interviews with the costume designer about the inspirations behind it. The references run through Nicole Kidman, Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Jean Shrimpton, Jean Seberg, Funny Face, and current fashion magazines. The point is not nostalgia alone. The goal was to make the costumes feel flirty, feminine, and timeless. The hosts keep coming back to the way the look blends vintage cues with a Y2K-era shape. Cardigans become a key example of that mix. They note that Isabel shows up in a very cardigan-heavy wardrobe. The conversation keeps circling back to how those pieces make the character feel demure without flattening the look. Blair keeps the pace loose and funny while Marie ties the references back to what is on screen. The episode closes by asking listeners to call, leave a message, and review the show.
