Cardi B arguing with a club manager in rhinestone-encrusted pasties and a pink corset doesn't feel male gaze-y:
"We actually had to sew Jennifer into it," says costume designer Mitchell Travers of J. Lo's silver fringed bodysuit.My jaw was resting comfortably on the screening room floor during Jennifer Lopez's mind-blowing, and much-discussed, intro pole dance sequence as stripper-scam ringleader Ramona in "Hustlers."
"I wanted the audience to be like, 'That is going to fall off. That is going to fall off,'" he adds, while crediting his tailor Annette Lovece for achieving an engineering feat of countless criss-crossed straps staying in-place — and on Lopez — for her physically demanding performance. Well, almost. "We actually had to sew Jennifer into it. Two of her strings burst on her first take and, of course, costume designer nightmare," says Travers.
"I studied a lot of how dancers work in a club," explains Travers. "It's all about the seduction. It's not about the reveal. The reveal is almost not as good as the buildup, so I tried to translate that into the language of the clothes. They pull you in and they invite you into the world, in the same way they're trying to get you into the Champagne Room. The whole sequence is a lap dance.
Travers, who recently paid tribute to Joan Rivers and Ellen DeGeneres through Emma Thompson's pantsuits in "Late Night," also looked to Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim for Ramona's comprehensive fur journey — which includes a plush coat roomy enough to blanket herself and Destiny into during their first meeting. He sourced a mix of vintage and contemporary furs, which also stay true to fashion attitudes prior the faux movement of today.
Travers also designated Destiny as the character who immerses herself in some of the most regrettable 2000s trends, like a one-shoulder crop-top over an exposed bra, low-riders tucked into over-the-knee boots and a low-slung belly chain. "I looked to some of the cringe-y trends that were happening at that time and really celebrated some of the bad taste of that era," laughs Travers. "No one was in as deep as Constance was with me.
"All my designs for Swimona celebrate a bad rhinestone logo," laughs Travers, the real design maestro behind the fictional swimwear line. "Everything is just a little too much."
