Costume designer Jennifer Starzyk also discusses collaborating closely with the leads and passing the titular duo's fashion legacy onto their daughters.
Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Theodore "Ted" Logan have been ride or die best friends — like, literally, they went to hell in 1991's "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" — for 30 years. No doubt the two would be in a pandemic bubble together, alongside their daughters, Thea and Billie , and former medieval princess spouses
The team initially brainstormed "a lot of zany ideas," but then decided the more "wacky" costumes would make the most sense and impact for the alterna-versions of Bill and Ted. So they landed on more comfortable hero looks for the duo as they embark on their new adventure.
Reeves also referenced the natty suiting style of Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne. But, ultimately, "there was a comfort zone he wanted to land on, and he was very specific about the color and the fit," says Starzyk, who just came off custom-designing lots of '70s-era suiting for David Fincher's "Mindhunter.
"Alex's costume is very true to Bill," Starzyk says, crediting him for his color combo suggestion of a yellow plaid shirt over a blue T-shirt, which he wanted to decorate with a logo. Inspired by an image of a "three-headed sailor in a vintage skater sticker book," the costume designer asked Los Angeles-based graphic artist Dave Kloc to create a Wyld Stallyns interpretation of double-stallion-headed man.
The next generation, Billie and Thea — last seen as babies taking the stage with their dads in "Bogus Journey" — take a cue from their fathers with their own close bond, uncanny Logan and Preston mannerisms and playfully timeless styles. Billie's shorts look remains consistent starting with black biker shorts from Urban Outfitters, paired with a beaded lapel blazer by Amiri and accessorized with a jaunty vintage beret. To jump through time — and the afterlife — to help their dads, Ted's offspring wears a "meshy tie-dyed top" from Urban Outfitters, R13 long black asymmetrical shorts, vegan Dr. Martens combat boots and a vintage concho belt.
