Hunter Schafer Talks Fashion and Defying "Cisgendered Standards" of Beauty on Euphoria

While we're all still waiting for the second season of Euphoria to drop, Hunter Schafer and costume designer Heidi Bivens teamed up for a video to discuss the stories behind our favorite looks. In the conversation, the pair discussed the close collaboration between Heidi and the actors, as well as the process for sourcing clothing, which Heidi says was at least 50 percent vintage for the women cast. Hunter, who was actually preparing to go to fashion school before snagging her role on the HBO series, often worked with Heidi to customize and perfect her character Jules's style.

Heidi explained that she saw Euphoria, which was recently nominated for an Emmy for its outstanding contemporary costumes, as an important opportunity to "portray young people in a way that hadn't been seen before," and worked closely with Hunter, Zendaya, and Alexa Demie to curate their characters' looks in a real way. More specifically, she discussed collaborating with Hunter to find intimate garments that the transgender actress felt comfortable wearing.

"There's a lot of power in seeing a young trans girl not trying to conform to a cisgendered standard in that way."

"I think it's so special to take into account the actor's opinion, at least with a show like this, where some actors have bodies that aren't necessarily the 'norm,'" Hunter said. "And also particularly because we were going to be seeing Jules in her underwear, and I had been thinking about whether or not I wanted to be tucked for some of the shots. . . There's a lot of power in seeing a young trans girl not trying to conform to a cisgendered standard in that way."

The costume designer added that when she was sourcing clothing for season one of the show, she could only find one designer who was making "the kind of intimate garments [she] wanted," but while prepping for season two, she felt it was much easier to gather the items she needed. "So we're evolving as humans," she said. Watch their conversation in full above and look back on the first season's incredible style moments.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
