![]() "She'd let me do my thing, which is extraordinary for someone of her caliber to just trust a relative stranger, with fishnets and a feather hat. ![]() And I felt like who better than Lizzo to wear that," he says. It was just one of those iconic visuals that we have from the time. ![]() "The moment that I knew we had Lizzo, I had this dream of putting her into fishnet body stocking, and I wanted to find a way to incorporate that marabou hat, which Pamela Anderson had worn at the VMAs. Mitchell similarly had a vision for Lizzo who, while only appearing briefly in the film, makes an impression in one particularly striking look made of a fishnet bodysuit and a pink marabou hat. And, she actually gave me some really great tips and tricks from her time spent in the club, that we then used not only on her character but for the other girls as well." Mitchell says that he not only appreciated Cardi's willingness to trust him, but also the advice she had for him: "She lived this life, and so it was very easy to have a conversation with her about what is authentic, that she remembered about that time in her life. So, I got her in, we laced it up, and she was sold." And so I figured, she had the confidence to pull it off, she's certainly got the body to pull it off. I'm so inspired by her freedom with her body, her ability to do so many different looks. And so I was just like, 'You know, if not now, when?' So, I pulled out the corset, I showed it to her, and she was like, 'Oh bitch.' And she started laughing with me. " And then, it was about three o'clock in the morning, it was one of my very last changes, it was with Cardi. And I kept holding it back, I didn't really know why," he says. I knew that it would be an important moment, once it was time to use it. "The corset was something that I got very, very early on in the film. And so to do that, she's invested in her costumes and she's created an act, whereas, the other girls there were just dancing."Īnother incredible look in the club came from Cardi B, who appeared in one memorable scene wearing just rhinestone pasties, paired with a corset around her stomach, fishnets, and sky-high silver booties. She's got to get the whole room involved, and she's got to make every dollar she can. And I took cues from that to understand that this is somebody who understands that this. "I wanted there to be a little bit of a heightened theatricality to the costume," he says. Responsible for envisioning that look? Costume designer Mitchell Travers, who says that he referenced looks from '00s-era Rachel Zoe and Victoria Beckham, "and a little bit of Jennifer because, you know, she was creating a lot of the trends that were happening at the time and she still is today." After Lopez mentioned to Travers that she wore a lot of silver jewelry at the time, he was inspired to have the sparkly bodysuit custom made for her. Likewise, '00s music hits "Gimme More" by Britney Spears and "Love in This Club" by Usher (who makes a cameo in the film) soundtrack some of the film's stripping scenes, the first of which comes in the form of a gasp-inducing performance from Lopez in an extremely revealing fringed bodysuit with a G-string. These-and more-are on display in Hustlers, the based-on-a-true-story film starring Constance Wu (Destiny), Jennifer Lopez (Ramona), Keke Palmer (Mercedes), and Lili Reinhart (Annabelle) as strippers who turn to drugging wealthy men and stealing their credit cards as a way to make money during the financial crisis. The late '00s were a sometimes tragic time for fashion-UGG boots, Juicy Couture tracksuits, Von Dutch hats, and Bebe shirts were just some of the era's household names.
