Cameron Diaz’s quiet luxury wardrobe in the holiday was way ahead of its time, customers say
Marlene Stewart shares with PEOPLE fun behind-the-scenes stories from dressing Diaz, Jude Law and Kate Winslet.
Since The Holiday was released in November 2006, the film’s costumes have stood the test of time.
Sure, you might remember the Nancy Meyers film for Graham’s charisma, Iris’ too-high expectations for her ex or Amanda’s hilarious attempt at driving a British car.
But, there’s nothing that catches our eye more than the outfits.
Created by award-winning costume designer Marlene Stewart (whose résumé includes a breadth of film’s like Coyote Ugly and Top Gun: Maverick and a few of Madonna’s music video ensembles), the looks are so classic that they’re a conversation piece every holiday season.
Turns out, they were actually made to be that timeless.
“The whole palette is very simple. There’s not a lot of prints. It’s very subtle. It’s beautiful to look at against the background. And what was really important is that the visuals were all very soothing,” Stewart tells PEOPLE.
In this exclusive interview, the costumer shares behind-the-scenes stories on The Holiday wardrobe that you’ll want to keep top of mind when you sit down for your 50th rewatch.
