We're breaking down all of our favorite looks from Disney's new Cruella movie with friend of the pod, Shaun Prater! And it was tough, 'cause there are so many amazing outfits — 47 for Emma Stone, to be exact, and they are all thanks to costume designer Jenny Beavan (Mad Max: Fury Road). If you saw the movie, tune in now and let us know what you thought..and if you will be Disneybounding, which Blaire, our resident Disney fan, just learned about...

Lovecraft Country fans, assemble! The show’s costume designer, Dayna Pink, is our special guest on the pod today. Dayna talks to us about creating all of the vintage (and time traveling!) looks for the characters, her other work on films including Crazy, Stupid, Love., Bad Boys For Life, Bumblebee, and more. (She also costumed the upcoming Channing Tatum / Dog movie, which sounds like a dream if you ask us!) Tune in now!

Our final installment for Mona May MAY is Enchanted! Mona absolutely killed it with the magical gowns worn by Amy Adams as Princess Giselle in this animation turned live-action Disney fairytale. We talk about the brilliant evolution of each look she wears throughout the film, evil style icon Queen Narissa, and how we’re adding more whimsy to our wardrobes.  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

For Mona May-MAY, we're doing Vamps, the 2012 movie about two BFF "vegetarian" vampires (played by Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter) who spend their days, er, nights going to goth clubs in New York. It is a lesser-known film...but the reunion between director Amy Heckerling, Silverstone, and Mona May since Clueless! Other topics in this episode include the Netflix series Halston, Cruel Summer, a wild tangent where Marie gets four different white comedian men confused and how we went to Target and Starbucks for the first time in over a year.

Finally, it’s time for our Clueless episode! It took us THREE years to do this movie, but we were waiting for the right time, which is now, during Mona May MAY! We enlisted friends of the pod, Alyssa Morin and Rachel Sanoff, to return and talk all things Bronson Alcott High with us. In the episode, we discuss the underrated style icon Amber, a She’s the Man connection, the origin of the baby tee, an impassioned discussion on the incorrect depiction of the Valley in the movie / LA traffic that only people from LA would probably care about (sorry), and all the outfits we love, of course.

Get our your feather boas, because it's time for the second part of our interview with costume designer Mona May, who is behind the looks of Clueless and so many other faves! In the second installment of our interrogation with Mona, she talks to us about  importance of dressing secondary and background characters, kicking things off with a discussion about Jessica Alba and co.'s Barbie outfits in Never Been Kissed. She also talks about those DIVINE pastel satin looks the mean girls wore in Romy & Michele, the story behind Romy & Michele's famous reunion dresses, plus Zenon, Cheetah Girls, and House Bunny looks. We also discuss Mona May deep cuts like Just Say Julie and 3 Ninjas!

Happy Mona May-MAY! Order yourself a businesswoman special and get out your fluffy pen to take notes, because our queen, Clueless costume designer Mona May, has returned to the podcast to answer all of our questions! In this first installment of our two-part episode-slash-interrogation with Mona, she talks to us about the meaning behind Cher’s driving outfit, her homage to Pippi Longstocking, how she collaborates with hair and makeup to come up with the characters' looks, her love of chiffon, and so much more. She even addresses the “movie outfit repeats” that we and listeners have noticed, like the red jacket seen in both Romy & Michele and Scream. Tune in now!

It’s finally here! The most popular listener request: My Cousin Vinny! We got so many requests for this movie over the years, we had to give it to the Fishies! This 1992 comedy stars Joe Pesci as a lawyer from Brooklyn who tries to help two “yutes” when they get accused for murder in tha South. We get why you wanted us to do this one. THE LOOKS ARE ALIVE! Marisa Tomei’s outfits are poppin’ in every scene. However, let's not sleep on Mista Gambini himself — he’s got some good ones too! Hello, gothic cowboy daddy! We discuss Her iconic floral jumpsuit, pink Sony Cybershot cameras, Britney Spears’s favorite cheesy grits...Pet Semetary 2 (again), and more. Costumes by Carol Wood.  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

We're celebrating our THIRD anniversary today with one of our all-time favorites, Freeway! The 1996 cult film stars Reese Witherspoon as a white trash Little Red Riding Hood who's trying to make it to her grandma's house when she goes head-to-head with a serial killer. It's trashy, violent, and incredibly offensive, but worth it to see Reese in the role of her life! The costumes (by Merrie Lawson) are scarce, but it's quality over quantity — they bring us right back to growing up as teens in SoCal. We discuss our love for Dickie's overalls (again), Sanrio wallets, seatbelt-belts, Eddie Furlong's Cameo, Blaire's piercing mishap, and the time Marie rolled over on top of John Stamos's Hollywood Walk of Fame star.  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

This month we’re celebrating Fishnet Flix’s third birthday (!), and to kick things off, we’ve got special guest Ali Segel, co-host of the Webcrawlers podcast! She’s here to talk about a real FF favorite: Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion! We’ve been saving this movie for a special moment and the time has come! We discuss everything from Coronavirus romance novels, the entrepreneurial, DIY spirit of Romy & Michele, Justin Theroux's fine ass, and, of course Mona May’s incredible costume work in the film.

Get your oversized patent leather belts out, because we’re going right back to 2009 with Confessions of a Shopaholic, starring Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood, a NYC journalist with a serious shopping problem. In this episode, Blaire comes in hot with the tea. Also, discussion about the beauty of over-accessorizing and rejecting that Coco Chanel quote, glove thoughts, and Chet Hanx...The wildly colorful costumes are by Patricia Field (Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada)!

Imagine a pair of jeans that automatically adapts to your shape...but actually wants to KILL you. That's the plot of Slaxx, a new horror movie about some literal killer...jeans. This isn't your typical Fishnet Flix film, meaning there aren't many outfits to talk about — but you know we love horror ova here, AND it's a movie about some murderous denim so we had to watch it!  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

We’ve got sumthin’ a little different this week. It’s a heavy, dark, revenge flick, but we PROMISE it’s a good one. The recently Oscar-nominated movie, Promising Young Woman, stars Carey Mulligan as Cassandra, a woman who goes out to a different bar or club each night, pretends to get completely knock-down, blackout drunk with the purpose of luring a “nice guy” to take her home. At first, you don’t think this is going to be a “costume movie,” but it's interesting how Cassandra dresses up in different “disguises'' whenever she's on the prowl — a sharp contrast to the pastel sweaters and dresses she wears during the daytime. Costumes are by Nancy Steiner who did Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides, and a ton more. Tune in now!

It’s a very special day here on Fishnet Flix! We hit tha big 100, babys! And we’re celebrating our 100th episode with a trip back to Zamunda with Coming 2 America, the sequel to the 1998 Eddie Murphy comedy. Costumes are by our queen, Ruth E. Carter (Black Panther, B.A.P.S.), so you know there’s not a bad look in sight. We talk about our fave outfits, all the gold and animal-themed jewelry we’re adding to cart, and how we’ve come a long way since we started the pod (particularly, Blaire’s online shopping habit). Warning: we end the episode with a spontaneous and extremely chaotic Mini Brands unboxing.  Episode mentions & notes Listen to our episode on the first Coming to America (1988) Ruth E. Carter interview with Fashionista The Makeup and Hair on Coming 2 America on Vogue  Kae by Karrueche Jewelry Line The Soothing Allure of Mini Brands UOMA Beauty The Royal Edit (Coming 2 America collection) For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod.  DM or email your movie requests at

Where were you when you first saw Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio lock eyeballs through the fish tank in Romeo + Juliet? Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 adaptation of the Shakespearean teenage tragedy is a hyper-stylized fever dream that we’re STILL obsessing over 25 years later. Costume designer Kym Barrett (The Matrix trilogy, Us, Aquaman) put Danes in those iconic angel wings while dressing the rival Montague and Capulet boy-gangs in a perfect contradiction of Hawaiian shirts and D&G. The movie, the costumes, and the soundtrack still hold up. Notes & Mentions: Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel doc on Netflix Fishnet Flix February Playlist

In this week’s episode, we cover a more modern rom-com with the most incredible costume design…Crazy Rich Asians! It is FILLED to the brim with head-to-toe iconique outfits, courtesy of Mary E. Vogt (Hocus Pocus, Batman Returns). We’re adding silk pajamas and hunky Henry Golding to our carts, okayrrr. Tune in now!

Today’s episode is on Waiting to Exhale, the Terry McMillan-novel-turned-1995 film starring the late, great Whitney Houston, alongside Angela Bassett, Lela Rochon, and Loretta Devine as four friends living in Phoenix Arizona, looking for love in alllll the wrong f***boys. It’s a movie filled with as many irresistible lines as there are costumes — from designer Judy L. Ruskin (Sleepless in Seattle, Bruce Almighty) that are somehow both timeless and deliciously ’90s at the same time. We won’t blame you if you start quoting the movie nonstop (esp. Bernadette's fire-setting monologue), or listen to the iconique soundtrack (which was produced by Babyface, and features Brandy, SWV, and, of course, Whitney) all week long. We also discuss whether or not we should give The Wedding Planner another chance...

We’re kicking off Valentine’s month with the moment we’ve all been waiting for, an episode on True Romance, the 1993 Tarantino-scripted, Tony Scott-directed film about a comic book nerd and a call girl who fall in love and go on the run. Yes, we see Gary Oldman with his locs, leopard print robe, and Jamaican patois, but Patricia Arquette rocks Every. Single. Damn. Look. as Alabama Worley. The cute, quirky, fun, and timeless costumes are by Susan Becker (The Lost Boys! Father of the Bride!). We also get into a lot of fun tidbits about the movie, try to guess Alabama’s zodiac sign, and uncover some exciting news about that heart jacket we talked about in our past episode on Jennifer’s Body.

You know we couldn’t end Keanuary without Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure! While this 1989 movie may not be known for its costumes (especially as it takes place over just one day) the Bill and Ted look is easily recognizable, fun, and dare we say, relevant? The cropped sweatshirt look is definitely in these days, hello, Bill S. Preston, Esquire. Costumes are by Jill M. Ohanneson (Six Feet Under, Revenge, Preacher). In this episode, we talk about how a fashion historian uses the brief Beethoven scene as a benchmark for all Regency-era movies and debate whether or not teens still use binders. Also, Blaire realizes she’s never seen the 1993 erotic thriller, Sliver.
