Costume Designer Dan Lawson on Recreating 'My Fair Lady' Outfits
For the Halloween episode of 'Elsbeth', costume designer Dan Lawson had the task of recreating iconic outfits from 'My Fair Lady'.
Carrie Preston's character, Elsbeth, celebrated Halloweek by donning a different Eliza Doolittle look every day, inspired by the 1964 movie starring Audrey Hepburn.
- Guest star Annaleigh Ashford played a suburban housewife in the episode.
- The episode featured a murder in Sleepy Hollow on Halloween night.
- Elsbeth's costumes were inspired by the 1956 Lerner and Loewe stage musical, based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 stage play 'Pygmalion'.
There was a lot that went into it — from the dresses to the hats to making sure everything was precise.
Elspeth went all out for its Halloween episode, with Dan Lawson speaking to PopCulture.com about the experience.
