"Morgan, played by Succession's Justine Lupe, steals every scene she's in. She is a brilliant physical comic, and her outfits are key. In the first episode, big sis Joanne (Kristen Bell) is adulting hard at her first couple's dinner party, but a pivotal moment comes when Morgan makes her entrance in a fluffy shearling jacket and hot pants. She is a preening, maddening, gorgeous cat-among-the-pigeons."
"What makes Morgan so compelling is that her vanity is a plot point. There is something so recognisable and heartbreaking about this smart woman who leads with her looks. The hair-flicking tic, the inappropriate stiletto boots for daywear, the Cher in Clueless mix of being charmingly off-the-wall yet infuriatingly self-obsessed. Joanne has a cute overthinky Diane Keaton thing going on with that little frown and her pleat trousers and rollnecks."
Television emerged as the year's most compelling source of fashion, with multiple series presenting wardrobes that define characters and drive scenes. Nobody Wants This season two centers Morgan, whose vanity and physical comedy are reinforced by bold looks such as a fluffy shearling jacket, hot pants, Wales Bonner track pants, argyle knits, oversized leather bombers and western-buckle belts. Morgan's styling contrasts Joanne's understated pleat trousers and rollnecks, highlighting personality through clothing. Wild Cherry deploys high-production, intentionally dated costumes to portray dark, privileged teenage queens and their mothers in a glamorous, scandal-tinged drama.
