what we do in the shadows costumes

The costumes in "What We Do in the Shadows" are highly praised for their exquisite design and attention to detail. The shows Emmy award-winning costume designer, Laura Montgomery, has discussed the clubwear costumes seen at Nadjas nightclub and the vampires dive into totally normal human clubwear. Nadjas style is heavily influenced by the Victorian era, but the show is not a period piece, so none of her gowns are constrained by historical accuracy. Modern elements like a Chanel belt that appeared in season three often pop up, and the actress playing Nadja, Natasia Demetriou, is free to skip the nasty business of wearing a corset for hours on end. Nadjas costumes are usually made in rich, dark velvets with dramatic shoulders, billowing sleeves, and a full skirt, emphasizing her dominating presence. The craftsmanship that goes into Nadjas costumes is evident to even the casual viewer, and their effect on screen can take a moment to truly appreciate.
