The iconic wedding dress has more than nine layers of horse hair and tulle, as well as a 25-foot train.
, among others, was given the meta task of dressing a fictional pop star played by one of the most famous nonfictional pop stars of our time.
Beyond"blush and sparkle," the glittering fairytale gown brings some major drama."The drama of it was certainly part of the allure and part of what we gravitated to when we landed on it as a team," says Duncan."And the volume of it — so dramatic. The dress is comprised of over nine layers of horse hair and tulle and has a 25-foot train. The veil itself is something like 20 feet long.
Another challenge for Duncan was building an onstage wardrobe for Kat. Those pieces didn't just have to look good, they also had to keep up with Lopez's high-powered choreography and move with her."Those looks are all breathable dance fabrics," says Duncan."They're all performance looks." Offstage, Kat drops her flashy celebrity armor. There's a trend-free normalcy to her outfits — even though they're still perfectly tailored and lushly rendered in silks and cashmeres."In general, we wanted Jennifer's nonperformative, non-stagewear aesthetic to be really timeless," Duncan says."Old Hollywood, iconic, chic — so that if this movie is on in 10 years, you're watching it and not really caught up in the moment of the fashion.
Lopez has a personal tie with Kat's romantic look while chaperoning the high-school dance."That dress was born out of a conversation I had with Jennifer about what she wore to her semiformal or prom. She made [the dress] for herself!" says Duncan.
