Julia Garner said, “people- whatever they see, they believe“. She said so in reference to her character Anna Sorokin aka Anna Delvey, the protagonist of Netflix’s latest upcoming project Inventing Anna. When you’re playing the role of a renowned con-woman, you sure do need to look the part and the creators of Inventing Anna made sure of this. Watch the Emmy award-winning actress talk about the same here:

While we have seen costumes help redefine an entire film or show, it adds a lot more to Anna, her lifestyle, her ability to defraud people, and her biopic series.

Why are costumes so important in Inventing Anna?

If you’ve seen the video, you must have noticed the emphasis Julia Garner has laid on the costumes and wig she dons through the course of the Inventing Anna. We have seen how important this aspect of filmmaking is in movies and shows like The Great Gatsby, The Harder They Fall, and Emily in Paris. But, looking the part plays an extra important role in this upcoming Netflix Original series.

For those of our readers who are unaware of Anna’s origin, the protagonist is inspired by Anna Sorokin. Sorokin is a convicted fraudster who pretended to be a German heiress and found her way into the lives of the New York bourgeoisie. She scams banks, hotels, and some extremely wealthy people, all done merely by blending in just right.

How did fashion help Anna?

“The role that fashion plays in the series is very big,” Garner said. She continued, “fashion is very important to Anna” and no wonder! From all the extremely affluent people we’ve seen on television, we know that dressing up the right way is crucial. It helps people of the same background to blend in and not stand out. This is something Anna needed to do to succeed in her, well, career. And the creators of Inventing Anna made sure they brought this facet to life properly.

At the very first glance, Anna’s attire might look exaggerated, like Emily Cooper from Emily in Paris. But Garner explains how this is something that the creators did on purpose. The people around her and the viewers needed to believe that she is an eccentric heiress.

The one thing we have gathered from the way Garner speaks of her character is how well she understands the role she is playing. It is evident that the cast and crew of the Netflix series have put in a lot of research, analysis, and hard work into the creation of the show. Keeping this in mind, make sure your schedules have space for Inventing Anna on February 11, 2022, streaming only on Netflix!
