Comer plays Villanelle, a Russian assassin with a penchant for murdering and a killer sense of style.
Feeling guilty for drooling over the outfits of a sociopathic psycho killer?
Don’t feel guilty so are we.
Shopping for extravagant clothing, of course.
“[Villanelle’s] got an innate sense of style, definitely,” Comer explained.
“I think she has very little rules.
She wears what she wants to wear.”
She adds that Villanelle’s outfit choices are often born from an overwhelmingly “materialistic” side of her.
“For the clothes, it was an expression of self.
She found so much joy in that.
[It’s] her outlet.
That’s what she likes to treat herself with and express herself with.”
Villanelle’s inclination to shop represents a great deal about her character.
First and foremost, it reveals that being in the business of assassinating pays well.
She tied the whole outfit together with, well, a tie.
This outfit is such a showstopper, we can’t imagine anything else topping it.
To the appointment, Villanelle wears a pink Molly Goddard tutu dress and a pair of Balenciaga combat boots.
But why this outfit, in particular?
“Villanelle, a hired assassin, prancing around in a glorified tutu.
Or perhaps it’s the combination of a sweet dress with edgy boots that makes it stand out.
If she was wearing strappy heels, I might not have thought twice about it.”
