When Kristen Wiig steps out of a vintage Rolls-Royce in the opening scene of season two of Palm Royale<\/em>, she is sporting a tall, yellow, fringed hat, gold platform sandals and sunny bell-bottoms, with fabric petals that sway with every determined step.<\/p>\n

It is the first clue that the costumes on the female-driven comedy are taking centre stage.<\/p>\n

The Apple TV+ show made a splash in its first season with the starry cast, high production values and ubiquitous grasshopper cocktails.<\/p>\n

Wiig<\/span>\u2019s character, Maxine, tries to break into the high society of Palm Beach, Florida, in 1969 and bumps heads with co-stars Carol Burnett, Allison Janney<\/span>, Leslie Bibb and Laura Dern<\/span>. But also playing a starring role are the vintage designer frocks that reflect each character.<\/div>\n

For season two, Emmy-winning costume designer Alix Friedberg says she and her team coordinated \u201cthousands\u201d of looks that reflected the characters\u2019 jet-setting style. She says 50 to 60 per cent of the brightly coloured and graphic-print costumes are original vintage designer pieces, sourced by shoppers and costume designers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe looks are so iconic. Sometimes Kristen will walk in in something, and it brings tears to my eyes,\u201d says Kaia Gerber, who plays Mitzi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
