The "Poker Face" Costume Designer Scanned Thrift Stores to Create Accessible Looks for Natasha Lyonne's Charlie

Desert meets 70s and western. That's how "Poker Face" costume designer Trayce Gigi Field describes the vibe of Peacock's thriller series starring Natasha Lyonne.

Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, a casino employee who has a knack for solving crimes as she runs across the country. Field knew the first thing she needed to do was create a look that deviated from Lyonne's previous series, "Russian Doll." First rule: No black.

"We wanted a different color palette, so I created mood boards, and some of these things like the butter brown YSL jacket made it into the series,” Field says.

Charlie is a character who lives off the beaten track and "probably shops in thrift stores", says Field . Additionally, she wanted to ground Charlie in reality and as someone who keeps his clothes in the car. "Natasha loved the black rickrack vest, so we repeated it," she says. "You'll see the same jeans, T-shirt and even jacket, and because she's a real person. She wears the same things all the time."

Their conversations about Charlie's outfits continued throughout filming: "We talked about what his character is doing and what the right bits would be for that particular scene or episode."

To craft each outfit, Field collected pieces from Urban Outfitters, antique malls , thrift stores and a few small brands. "I always try to find exclusive clothes, but not too exclusive because you want people to be able to access them," she says. "I also liked the little brands, because maybe they're not too mass-produced, and that kept them special and fresh like our characters."

As for Charlie's trucker hat, Field says it was the perfect accessory for the character . “It protects her face from the sun and keeps her incognito. I feel like she got it at a gas station,” she says. As for where Field found it? Amazon — made by Zipper Stevie Nicks and Debbie Harry were among the music icons on Field's vision boards to help infuse a 70s vibe into Charlie's outfits, as evidenced by his vintage tees and cropped shorts. /p>

Another rock star, Joan Jett, inspired Chloë Sevigny's character, Ruby Ruin, the singer main metal band Doxxxology, which appears in episode 4.

"Chloë is a fashion icon, and you can put her in anything", says Field. "I was going for rock reality - leather, a studded belt and a choker." The look was completed with Alexander McQueen pumps.

Cherry Jones, who appears as Laura in Episode 8, was inspired by the Disney villainess Cruella de Vil. To create the look, Field worked with hair department head Marcel Dagenais, who presented her with a white wig. "I said let's go," Field recalled. "I wanted his clothes - vintage Max Mara and Carolina Herrera - to feel mean with that 'The Devil Wears Prada' sense."
