‘Palm Royale’ Costume Designer Alix Friedberg on Crafting Kristen Wiig’s ‘Slightly Off’ 1960s Wardrobe


Alix Friedberg crafted dozens of looks for Kristen Wiig over the 10 episodes of "Palm Royale," with "60%" coming from "real vintage sourcing."

As she sits poolside eavesdropping on the Royale’s most prominent members, she wears a tangerine Lilly Pulitzer dress with a cotton scarf tied over her Brigitte Bardot wig. In dynamic scenes like the Havana Ball, Friedberg wants an outfit that allows the audience to “always find her in the room.” Along with the striking color and style, the movement of the dress was a significant factor in creating the look. Despite the thwarting efforts of her rival debutantes, Maxine arrives at the ball with an exclamation point, draped in a white zibeline gown adorned with silver beads and shells.
