unpacking euphoria’s tragically iconic Halloween costumes

[@artatmidnight]

Happy Halloween! 🎃Which costume is your favourite?? also please know that my tired, hoarse voice in this video is very on brand, because I did indeed record this close to midnight :)

[@EliSutarday]

Julesss and Cassie ngl, also nahhh you sound alright

[@user-vz7kr]

Most probably jules

[@dr.absurd]

Lexie's

[@divvyhuh]

lexies for sure lmao

[@StarAguluka]

Kat’s

[@Chloe_Moonbug]

“Nate’s costume makes sense because he literally is a criminal” made me laugh out loud lmao

[@lauren1779]

SAME

[@hel2727]

I laughed so hard when I saw his costume ngl 😂

[@trinaq]

The costume designers really deserve a raise for how well they thought out how the costumes reflected the personalities of each character.

[@artatmidnight]

a lot of the references were in the script actually! but the costume designer had to piece together the looks how the characters would. they did such a perfect job 🖤

[@jesserivera2043]

Lexy's costume was super symbolic of her desire to avoid being sexualized due to her observing what that did to others. I'm surprised there wasn't a mention about that, but aside from that this video was phenomenal

[@doesitmatterwhoiam8838]

In her play she expresses her disappointment in not getting big breasts like her sister, and she even laments that Cassie gets all the attention. To me, Lexi does the same thing her sister does, she complains about the amount of attention she's getting but dresses in a way that's only going to make it worse.

[@jesserivera2043]

@@doesitmatterwhoiam8838 I didn't even think about it that way. That is a very teen thing to do, to say you don't want something while secretly wanting it

[@restingsadface]

you can’t convince me the Halloween episode wasn’t one of the best constructed; the outfits, the visuals, the music, the SYMBOLISM 💖 it was all on point

[@artatmidnight]

such a good episode! i forgot to mention how good the music is too!! 🖤🖤

[@thecavalieryouth]

Agreed. The carnival episode is right up there, too.

[@thecavalieryouth]

@@artatmidnight season 1's soundtrack & score is some of the best music for visual media I've heard. Truly superior 😙🤌🏽

[@ozzyinphilly]

[@brysondemott1250]

I feel like Lexi is bob ross because she's an observer for most of the show, she watches everyone else live these crazy lives while she's mostly calm and boring

[@Melody-ig9nv]

I like to think it is cuz she’s also a creative. Like Bob Ross, she studied her environment and made art out of it in the form of her play. She’s also (for the most part) pure intentioned. She never really does anything to anyone with maliciousness (this can be argued with her humiliating her sister. But that’s a different story). She is a quite observer who uses her observations to give a creative perspective for people to view. I also saw somewhere that her costume could stem from her not wanting to be sexualised, and I do think that’s a massive motivator too

[@srijadas652]

Shes also down to earth​@Melody-ig9nv

[@mayln163]

The shots of Jules swimming in the pool are so beautiful.

[@trinaq]

I love that Cassie's costume reflects her hidden depths. She's the only one who really understands "True Romance", and that it was a Tarantino film, or the screenplay was, at least. She's not just a pretty face, and has brains as well.

[@artatmidnight]

i think she needs to use her noggin a little more when it comes to boys haha but i definitely agree that she is more than a pretty face & should be valued as such !

[@gracecairns9747]

yeah i would love to see her more in Quentin Tarantino movies.

[@SRLovesPandas1]

@@gracecairns9747 I remember she was in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

[@diamond2979]

@@artatmidnightas a girl that is book smart that has been boy crazy before, it’s delusion mixed with being dickmatized and starting a situationship in a very emotionally vulnerable state.

[@fancyhughes]

It makes some sense that Daniel is dressed as Ted Bundy. Bundy was known for being "handsome," "charming," and attracted the attention of many women (even during his public trial). Underneath the charming exterior, he hated women and as pointed out, murdered over 30 women. Whether or not Daniel is considered attractive by many women, he charms Cassie enough to draw her in and then viciously attack her (and exposing the misogyny underneath). The same can be somewhat said for his past relationship and hook-up with Kat. Aside from that, I think Cassie and Rue's costumes are my favorites. I was even inspired to be Marlene Dietrich for Halloween last year.

[@Ochako_Fangirl]

I really love watching videos that go into analysis in their costumes and colors. The plot itself never interested me that much, seeing how they'r mostly sexualized, but seeing the effort that was creatively put in to tell the viewers about each character and what might await them is super cool

[@artatmidnight]

the visuals are one of the best things about the show! Heidi Bivens (Costume Designer) and Donni Davy (Makeup artist) are such a stellar team 🖤

[@Ochako_Fangirl]

@@artatmidnight Frr I hope to see more work from the in the future, wether in Euphoria or other projects :D

[@HeiressOfLoganbeeren]

why am i crying at the Cassie analysis...... her story is heartbreaking

[@val-md7is]

cassie’s story is so sad and it’s so relatable to me. I could never hate her

[@Sing_A_Rebel_Song]

My favorite has to be Jules and Rue. Both are such beautiful and expressive costumes and I feel like they reflect their characters best

[@wolftownesque]

i’m almost positive it was Petra Collins who came up with those costume ideas. she’s an og tumblr girly.

[@KindredKeepsake]

That explanation on Rue's residual eye glitter make her so much more tragic as a character... Same for the other characters and their Halloween costumes. What a night to remember!

[@dextersteinbeiss6748]

I'm sad you left out Lexi! I was really looking forward to your analysis of her and her costume! Great video though! 🖤

[@Price_with_a_b]

She's Bob Ross right? I think that could signal her artistic nature (hence writing a play in season 2) but also her calm and reserved personality. Bob Ross also finds meaning through everything he draws and each painting is a slight alteration of the last so maybe that shows the meaning she's trying to find through herself and the frames of her life she's putting together to make one complete story. To me, Lexi's analysis of her own life and her own story emulates Bob Ross's analysis of life itself into the paintings he created (one frame at a time). From a general standpoint, Lexi has always felt seperated from the group and her deciding to be Bob Ross is very different to the costumes everyone else chose.

[@smaugkat]

Juliet was always the story of her becoming a woman and being seen as one instead of a child. It’s very perfect for Jules. She seems inspired by Juliet from the get go.

[@EliSutarday]

Ahhhh another incredibly constructed and stunning video... I think Euphoria sn1 was and is such a pillar in film and media... It's sad that the original costume designer won't be apart of season 3, but honestly I get it...I loveeeed your analysis on all the characters but especially Jules, Cassie Rue, Kat and Maddie...I feel like a majority of ppl love to hate on these characters without fully releasing how important these characters are in television ... Especially with Jules and Cassie... Yes alot of the things they do are f terrible, but we fail to acknowledge the realism and hurt in their situations... They simply act according to how they know how..and I wish ppl would have a little bit of empathy and love for these characters...who do outline very real people with similar situations....I love how you helped me understand the choice of clothes and accessories on each character...and the overall symbolism ..you never fail to WOW me...💥❤

[@artatmidnight]

aww thank you!! you are the best 🥰 i was so happy to finally talk about my love for S1 finally! i love how the characters are flawed, but you can also empathize with them, like you said. i wonder what S3 will be like - apparently it won't be released until 2025!

[@EliSutarday]

@@artatmidnight ❤❤ righhht but hopefully they use that time to bring back the magic from season 1

[@MichellaneousMe]

Season 1 of Euphoria was done so well, but the Halloween episode is my absolute favorite! I love how I was recommended this video for costumes. I truly love your content 🩷

[@diamond2979]

i’ve never seen true romance, now cassie’s costume makes so much more sense and daniel mentioning the sex scene makes me so much more sad (but it does make sense for his character, he’s a dog) that’s all he ever really thought about when he saw her :( she’s so much more than that and it shows in the costume she chose, she wants to be seen as more than her past.

[@zoc.6922]

I feel like Lexi is trying to “get away” from being sexy so she picked Bob Ross. Her being the observer and feeling unsexy and seeing the bad sides of it probably adds to that as well.
