Wagon Wheel Watusi! This week, we’re shimmying into Burlesque (2010), the bedazzled fever dream of a movie musical starring Cher and Christina Aguilera. It’s all rhinestones and ringmaster vibes, and we’re here for every glittering second. Costume design legend Michael Kaplan (Blade Runner, Fight Club, Flashdance) found inspiration everywhere—from sherbet dessert to Magritte and Man Ray—for these stunning costumes.   We break down Cher’s Bob Mackie tuxedo-glam, Xtina’s transformation from small-town waitress to burlesque bombshell, and that dreamy off-the-shoulder green silk gown that deserves a spot in the Green Dress Hall of Fame (move over, Atonement!). Marie swoons over surrealist hand-motif bodysuits while Blaire confesses her love for a silver chunky heel and opera gloves. We also dive into the film's Pussycat Dolls origins and why this movie feels like a chaotic cabaret dream you never want to wake up from. Plus, Marie's Lafufu update, Practical Magic 2 chismes, and more. Show us how you burlesque! Ref

"I got more legs than a bucket of chicken!" For this episode, we’ve got big looks, big hearts, and even BIGGER hats: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar! It’s been 30 years since this glittery road trip comedy debuted, and we’re celebrating the unforgettable drag stylings brought to life by costume designer legend Marlene Stewart (Coyote Ugly, The Holiday, Madonna music videos). Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo don drag as Miss Vita Boheme, Noxeema Jackson, and Chi-Chi Rodriguez—three queens (ahem, two queens and one drag princess!) on a cross-country journey filled with makeovers, marabou, and midwestern magic. We break down the trio’s signature styles, discuss RuPaul’s cameo moment as Rachel Tensions, and the Clueless-level volume of costume changes. We also talk about our recent obsessions, including Blaire’s glass fruit ASMR and Marie’s bald Lafufu. [SCREAMS] Tune in now!

We’re baaaaack! After a mini-hiatus, we’re kicking things off with some brain candy: Another Simple Favor! The sequel to A Simple Favor has everything we love: mystery, murder, and a wardrobe so extra you could watch the movie on mute and still be entertained. Blake Lively returns as Emily, serving high camp, insane hats, oversized tailoring, and looks that scream Murder Mommy Mob Wife, all courtesy of costume designer Renée Ehrlich Kalfus (A Simple Favor, Hidden Figures, Friends With Benefits). Anna Kendrick’s Stephanie may have a few cute ‘fits, but let’s be real: this is ol’ blondie’s runway. We break down the couture-level costumes, discuss how Blake’s real-life stylist-free choices influence her character’s wardrobe, and compare it all to the chaotic looks in It Ends With Us (double pants trigger warning). You won’t find any litig**tion speak here, but you WILL find us spiraling into tangents on Marie’s totally healthy Babygirl obsession, our new segment (?) "Dakota Unchained," Party Girl’s 30th annivers

Bottoms week continues! In this long-lost episode from the Makeover Montage vault, Marie sits down with the film’s makeup artist Natalie Johnson for a deep dive into the bold, hilarious, and blood-soaked aesthetic of the breakout teen comedy. Natalie shares how ‘90s teen classics like Bring It On, Jawbreaker, Never Been Kissed, and She’s All That inspired the film’s hyper-stylized yet realistic high school looks, and how Fight Club served as a makeup reference for those epic fight scenes. From skincare prep to bruising techniques, Natalie gives us a behind-the-scenes look at crafting both beauty and carnage on set. Plus, she opens up about her journey from MAC Cosmetics to movie sets, her love for horror, and why collaboration with actors like Rachel Sennott and Havana Rose Liu made Bottoms such a treat!

“Could the ugly, untalented gays please report to the principal's office?” It's PRIDE MONTH and we’re celebrating with a chaotic queer cult-classic in the making: Bottoms! Marie is joined by writer and friend of the pod Krista Burton to dive into this hilariously h**ny, gloriously campy lesbian fight club film that stars Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott. Costume designer Eunice Jera Lee loaded the film with fun throwbacks and brilliant references to The Craft, Clueless, and Ferris Bueller. We break down PJ’s suspender-core crisis, best-friend necklaces, and Chanel-coded revenge ‘fits, while discussing our mutual Ruby Cruz thirst, Kristen Stewart stanning, and more. Tune in now!

Imagine if your too-good-to-be-true boo was actually an android?! In this episode, Marie talks to Companion costume designer Vanessa Porter about her work on the sci-fi rom-com thriller, which stars Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid as a couple on a getaway with friends at a remote cabin—until hell breaks loose when one of the guests is revealed to be a companion robot! Vanessa breaks down how Iris’s (Sophie Thatcher) French New Wave-inspired wardrobe of pastel cardigans, gingham rompers, and Reformation-worthy sundresses isn’t just style goals, it’s a commentary on control, fantasy, and good ol’ toxic masculinity. They also discuss how dressing a character who doesn’t pick her own outfits flips the script on traditional costuming, and how each carefully coordinated look reflects her creator’s fantasy more than Iris herself. Plus: the cult-favorite necklace Marie’s adding to cart, which classic brand is a Tradwife staple, and how to design a Stepford Wifey outfit with just the right amount of blood splatter. Tun

It's time to party like it's 1999! For this special NYE bonus episode, we're thrilled to welcome costume designer Katina Danabassis to the pod to discuss her work in the new A24 horror-comedy Y2K! Katina takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the turn of the millennium, where cyber-optimism and late 90s/2000s style ruled. From the shiny, chrome-infused looks to the iconic brands that defined the era (Abercrombie! Tommy Hilfiger!), Katina's costumes for Y2K perfectly capture the essence of this moment in time. She tells us how she meticulously sourced vintage pieces, collaborated with the cast, and infused personal touches to make the fashion in Y2K feel authentic. She also tells us about designing the costumes in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Past Lives, what it's like working with Zendaya, and why "Go" is such an important movie. Whether you're a former JNCO-wearing raver, a nu-metal freak, or simply someone who loves a heavy dose of 90s/2000s nostalgia, this episode is a must for your ears!  Follow Katina on

Drum roll, please! For our final installment of our annual Dunstcember programming, we’re (finally) diving into Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! Directed by the brill Charlie Kaufman, this mind-bending movie explores the idea of erasing memories of a failed relationship. Kate Winslet SHINES as the quirky and chaotic Clementine, with her ever-changing hair colors and eclectic vintage-inspired wardrobe. Costume designer Melissa Toth did an amazing job capturing Clementine's effortless, thrifted cool-girl aesthetic, right down to that signature orange hoodie.  The film is STACKED with familiar and favorite faces, from preciouso Elijah Wood to cutie Mark Ruffalo—and Jim Carrey is so depression-hot in this one. While our beloved Kiki Dunst isn’t the lead, she is a major part of the plot. This film is a true cinematic masterpiece, with its nonlinear storytelling, beautiful cinematography, and surreal dream sequences. We break down all the best fashion moments, from Clementine's cozy winter looks to her shocki

Our dear Makeover Mavens...(lol), we're deep in Dunstcember, and this week, Blaire is bringing her true crime pick: All Good Things. Those of you who watched The Jinx and followed the weird story of New York real estate heir and convicted murderer Robert Durst may be familiar with this film. It is "loosely based" on Durst and stars our sweet Kirsten Dunst and our beloved Ryan Gosling! There are a lot of '70s looks in this, which Kirsten can pull off like no other. Costumes were designed by the legendary Michael Clancy who did our fave film Party Girl! We discuss Sarah Michell Gellar's recent week in media and learn the origin of Blaire's motto, uttered by Kristen Wiig in this film, "Eat your salad."  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on: Instagram at @makeovermontagepodcast TikTok at @makeovermontagepodcast YouTube at @makeovermontage Follow Marie on Instagram and Blaire on Instagram Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!  To request a movie for us to cover, DM us on

"Obviously doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl." Dunstcember Week 2 is here, so get ready to dive into the dark, dreamy world of The Virgin Suicides with your favorite costume design-loving mistresses! This week, we're exploring Sofia Coppola's stunning directorial debut, a movie that has become a cult classic and a major influence on fashion and pop culture. From the Lisbon sisters' Gunne Sax prom dresses to Lux's iconic 'Trip' underwear moment, the costumes in this film are straight-up legendary! Costume designer Nancy Steiner created looks that are both repressed and aspirational; this film has inspired everyone from Rodarte to Marc Jacobs and our dear Rookie Magazine! (Shoutout Tavi)! Grab your Josh Hartnett-style bell bottoms and your Candies sandals and have a listen, it's gonna be a wild ride...

DUNSTCEMBER HAS ARRIVED! We're kicking things off with one of the lower-tier (said lovingly) Shakespeare-inspired teen comedies: Get Over It! Not to be confused with A Midsummer Night's Rave...this loosely-based, A Midsummer Night's Dream adaptation stars Ben Foster as a high school senior trying to win back his ex-girlfriend by joining the school play. The film is stacked with more familiar faces like Sisqo, Mila Kunis, Shane West, and Martin Short (who is basically playing a young version of Oliver from Only Murders?!). Costume designer Mary Jane Fort, who also did Mean Girls and Bring It On, put Kirsten Dunst and co. in platform flip flops and graphic tanks galore. Vitamin C also makes an appearance.

We’re diving into the 1992 film Batman Returns, which is over-the-top and comic book-y in the best way that only director Tim Burton could do. Costume designers Bob Ringwood and Mary E. Vogt teamed up for this one, with Vogt overseeing Catwoman’s iconic look. We discuss Selina Kyle’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) transformation from bookish executive assistant to her DIY latex suit and the other wild costumes in the film. Other topics include Michael Keaton’s hotness, Marie watching True Blood for the first time, and...we’re gearing up for Dunstcember!

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.  HOMEWORK: Leave a message telling us about the one outfit in a movie that you think a

TikTok thrifting queen and sustainable style icon Macy Eleni joins the pod to talk about one of her favorite films — 2003’s View from the Top, a lesser-known, underrated film from the early aughts, rom-com era. Gwyneth Paltrow is Donna, a small-town girl with big hair and an even bigger ambition to be a Chanel lipstick-wearing, first-class international flight attendant! Costume designer Mary Zophres (La La Land, Babylon, Ghost World) put Paltrow, Christina Applegate, Kelly Preston, and Candice Bergen in Moschino, D&G, Betsey Johnson, Versace, Escada, and DVF from the era, and every look is DIVINE! And the flight attendant uniforms range from sassy to sophisticated. This is a true, overlooked fashion movie that we are unearthing TODAY! We also discuss our love for Brittany Murphy, Gwyneth's "rich face," the power of pawn shop finds, and, of course, Macy's new book, Second Chances! Plus, so much more.  Mentions and links: https://floodmagazine.com/128953/rearview-mirror-view-from-the-top/ Virginia Fontain

We bid farewell to October by having Halloween Queens’ Natalie Burris back on the pod to dissect the late ‘90s fashions of Urban Legend! This post-Scream slasher is stacked with the hottest stars of the era, with the killer terrorizing college kids by referencing Urban Legends. A super fun concept with great costume design by Mary Claire Hannan (The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Jackie Brown, Red Eye, Four Rooms!). We love the autumn-esque, Gilmore Girls vibe of Alicia Witti's final girl's turtlenecks, Danielle Harris as the goth roommate in all of her Hot Topic deliciousness, and Tara Reid's sexy looks as the campus radio host/sex advice columnist. Questions we have: was Sasha's (Tara Reid) Halloween costume somehow based on Tiffany from Bride of Chucky (it may have been filming at the same time?!), and was Niecy Nash's character in Scream Queens inspired by Loretta Devine in this film? Other discussions include Marie's JNCOs, The Substance (and Natalie’s incredible Halloween costume as The Star), the lack of go

"All I know about trilogies is that in the third one, all bets are off.” It may be the most controversial and hated of the franchise, but we love the campy, extremely meta Scream 3!  Costume designer Abigail Murray gives us some super fun, highly underrated looks in the "Ghostface Goes Hollywood" third installment of the film series. We get into Sidney’s (Neve Campbell) relaxed final girl style and accessory ode to her dead ex, Parker Posey as the hilarious, stylish, cool-girl Jennifer Jolie, and, of course, Gale’s (Courtney Cox) bangs! We also spill the tea on Marie’s witchy Practical Magic birthday dinner, so be warned. PS. Don’t forget to leave a review! There may be a surprise you can find out about this episode...

There is evil out there, and I'm gonna kick its ass! We’ve got a late ‘90s Halloween movie for y’all — Idle Hands! The one has a rare issue; there wasn’t a costume designer credit, but a kickass wardrobe department still put the cast in fun 'fits. We get into the [Devon] Sawassance and discuss his underrated, incredible performance in this movie. Hello, that hand acting? Oscar-worthy. We love you, Devon! We also discuss Seth Green as a ‘90s style icon, vintage bowling shirts, hesher style, and…Pornstar clothing (memba them?).

Miss Lisa (Kathryn Newton) is an angsty teen who has a meet-cute with a reanimated corpse (Cole Sprouse) and goes on a murdering spree to put his dismembered body back together. Brilliantly costumed by Meagan McLaughlin (Happy Death Day, Mike, 10 Cloverfield Lane), Lisa’s sartorial evolution goes from quiet, angsty teen to IDGAF goth girlie (greatly inspired by Winona Ryder in Heathers). We’re adding alllll the Blossom hats, slutty pirate dresses, Cathy comic tees, and rainbow rosaries to our carts!
