Nicole Kidman and her screaming outerwear in “The Undoing”

Comes on January 8 on Sky Atlantic, ma The Undoing – The Untold Truths is already culto fashion. Especially for a style detail: i coats worn by the protagonist Nicole Kidman in the role of Grace Fraser, in the series-event of HBO, psychological thriller that revolves around a murder and the theme of secrets and lies in the couple.
The choice of outerwear has to do with aesthetics, but also reflects the evolution of the character in the story. Each of the coats sported by Nicole Kidman, against the backdrop of a Manhattan between autumn and winter, was created by the Danish costume designer Signe Sejilund playing on the warm and intense colors that characterize the chromatic mix of the actress, designed with extreme elegance and in contrast with her hair wild.

And, at the same time, those coats also symbolically represent one protection in moments of fragility. As the olive green sheared fur, obtained from a heavy weave fabric, one of the most loved garments by fans, which with that hood “protects” the protagonist when she goes to jail to visit her husband.

The choice of shades and designs also aim to distance the character from the classic image of the very rich bourgeois of the exclusive Upper East Side of Manhattan. In contrast, there is indeed the more traditional style of the lawyer friend played by Lily Rabe, always in ultra-classic, chic garments in neutral and soft tones. Grace Fraser, on the other hand, reflects a greater complexity, not only thanks to her original coats, true “statement pieces”, but also to the timely use of gloves and accessories, such as the numerous and showy gold rings: details in harmony with each outerwear, from the long and red one with belt to the incredible floral pattern in silk. All looks, ça va sans dire, to be copied.

Of course, having been created by a costume designer these are not available for purchase, but for the Fall / Winter 2020-21 season you can find valid alternatives inspired by them: all in the gallery.
