Bubble Skirts and Fishnet Arm Slings in Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

Feed me, Seymour! We’re diving into Little Shop of Horrors, the 1986 musical comedy about a sentient plant that’s hungry for human blood. This pick comes courtesy of Blaire, a self-proclaimed "musical hater" with one major exception: this cult classic. Marit Allen (Eyes Wide Shut, Brokeback Mountain, The Witches) was the costume designer behind these fun '80s-does-50s/60s' looks, and we quickly see similarities between some costumes in this and another movie she designed, Mermaids.

From Audrey’s leopard print wiggle dress to Seymour’s dork-chic plaids, we have a grand old time dissecting these campy costumes. Other topics include childhood crushes on Rick Moranis, Steve Guttenberg, and Bill Murray; Megan Thee Stallion's looks in the "Bigger In Texas" music video; Georgina Trevino's my cunty purse; whether or not we're watching Wicked, "Adele Dazeem," and more unhinged tomfoolery from your favorite costume design-loving duo.
