” costume designer Sharon Long faced one of her biggest challenges in the show’s third season: Creating outfits that would work as well underwater as they would on land.
The third season of the Hulu series begins with Catherine and Peter in love. As adventures of a lavish, grand and decadent royal court continue to play out and themes of feminism and power weave through, Long opted for richer fabrics to show Catherine’s sense of empowerment. In episode 6, Peter meets his untimely death after plunging through a frozen lake, and Long had to work on a costume he could “drown” in. Peter is wearing a cloaked uniform. Her biggest concern was once Hoult entered the water, the cloak would float up and obscure him for the cameras. Her solution was to make slight adjustments.
The other water challenge was air bubbles. “I didn’t realize you had to make sure there was no air inside the costume because otherwise there would be bubbles coming from it and obscuring him,” Long says. Elizabeth’s metallic outfit presented another challenge.
