If you're noticing a theme in the style of the jackets, that's not by mistake. "I needed to find her a silhouette that was ongoing through the whole show," costume designer Signe Sejlund explained to HarpersBazaar.com about the recurring length of the garments. "Nicole is so tall and very slim, and she can carry those long coats. It's so elegant and so classic. I wanted that silhouette to be a part of her identity."
Of all the coats she wears in the series, this custom green ensemble with a hood has sparked the most chatter and vocal division. Plus, it's as heavy as it is unique. As PopSugar reported, the costumer approximated its weight at around 15 pounds!
If this vivid number wasn't already enough of a showstopper, Sejlund actually made it even bolder. The costume designer ended up getting several of the same Max Mara coats to add more of that unique fabric to the bottom for a longer and wider look, PopSugar reported.
While Grace Fraser's outwear is fashionable, it's also thoughtful, including when it came to this plaid design worn at the couple's beach house in the second episode. As Sejlund explained to PopSugar, it was meant to be part of the wardrobe she kept at her beach house as people with vacation homes often do. "In your summer house," she told the website, "you have things that just live there."
In a departure from her darker outerwear, Kidman's character sports this floral Etro trench coat at the start of the fifth episode. The style choice reflects the spring season the characters would likely be in by the end of the series considering it started with snow on the ground.
This coat by The Row may appear black in some shots, but it's actually a dark teal. As for the unfussy style, Sejlund purposely picked it to fit the moment in the plot. "I thought that at that time, Grace needed something that was more simple," she explained to HarpersBazaar.com, "because this time, she really wants to disappear."
