"Magoutas told IndieWire that all that Fogel, who co-created the show with David Iserson and directed half of the eight episodes in Season 1, needed to say about Bea (Emilia Clarke) was: "She wears L.L. Bean duck boots." Indeed, while Bea does have some '70s-tastic outfits - including a concert-ready white coat and wide-legged pants that, of course, get into some very bloody mayhem at the end of the show - Magoutas and her team mostly keep Bea timelessly preppy, and it illustrates that the character put all her insecurities and self-esteem into being a certain type of capital-G Good."
""They approach the look in their departments really similarly, which is to say really psychologically, which I find really interesting," Fogel told IndieWire on a recent episode of the Filmmaker Toolkit Podcast. "With Anastasia, talking to her about a character is like talking about who that person is, who they think they are in the world, what they think they're projecting with their style, and what they're actually projecting that they're not aware of. It's a really deep dive into who each character is.""
Susanna Fogel, Anastasia Magoutas, and Sara K. White collaborated on multiple projects including The Wilds, Winner, The Flight Attendant, and A Small Light. The team developed a concise creative shorthand while working on Ponies by prioritizing psychological character details to shape costume and production choices. Bea's wardrobe emphasizes timeless preppy elements, anchored by L.L. Bean duck boots, while selectively adopting '70s pieces to reflect insecurity and a desire to be Good. Twila's punk-rock look incorporated serendipitous finds such as red cowboy boots from Etsy. Departments align on what characters think they project versus what they actually reveal.
