Scandal’s costume designer, Lyn Paolo (nominated for Outstanding Contemporary Television Series) revealed that we’re going to see a lot of changes to Olivia Pope’s wardrobe these next eight episodes. “There might be some darker colors coming,” she teased. “Fortunately what fashion is doing right now is great for us because there’s all these swing coats and the pleated backs to all these dresses. Stella McCartney and Dior have been go-to amazing designers for any lady who may be pregnant.” She also added that we’ll be “seeing some new Prada purses [to mask Kerry’s baby bump]! There’s also these amazing wedge shoes now for Olivia, so when Kerry has to run she doesn’t have to be in heels because that’s a safety concern.”
Dan Bucatinsky (James Novak) interrupted our interview to give Paolo a hug and kiss on the cheek. This cast has such admiration and love for the crew, evidenced by the fact that they ALL showed up to support Paolo even though only Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn were tapped to present. Later in the night, I stopped by theScandal table to say hi to one of my favorites, Bellamy Young (Mellie), who was looking absolutely stunning in red. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Thursday’s premiere! Bucatinsky told me the cast already got together over the weekend to watch this week’s episode as prep work for when they live-tweet.
And before I let Lyn Paolo out of my sight, I needed to know what has been her favorite outfit of Olivia Pope’s so far. “I really love the white Burberry trench coat. I literally had the set painted a different color because of it! Mellie was in purple, and Fitz is sitting on the sofa in between those two women. I just love that scene.”
And before we concluded our interview, Paolo made sure to tell me how much she loves Glamour and “all of your support.” Back at you!
