Costume design breakdown of Bewitched (2005) starring Nicole Kidman, Will Ferrell, and Shirley MacLaine — directed by Nora Ephron and costume design by Mary Zophres.

We're wrapping up Freaky Witch Month with the sweetest sorceress in suburbia: Bewitched (2005)! Nicole Kidman stars as Isabel Bigelow, a real-life witch trying to live a normal life, opposite Will Ferrell's egomaniac TV actor in Nora Ephron's meta rom-com remake of the '60s classic. Costume designer Mary Zophres (La La Land, The Big Lebowski) serves up vintage-meets-Y2K whimsy with cardigans, pastel skirts, and preppy capri pants that turn Kidman into the anti–Practical Magic witch — sweet, soft, and suburban.

But the real style icon is Shirley MacLaine as Iris/Endora — a walking Technicolor spell in chiffon, feathers, and finger-loop capes! She's an old-Hollywood witchcore vision draped in 20 yards of fabric and pure chaos, the kind of diva smoke show only Shirley could pull off.

In this episode, we chat about:

Mary Zophres's flirty, feminine, and timeless designs

Nicole Kidman's demure 2000s-meets-1960s wardrobe evolution

Shirley MacLaine's over-the-top "murder robes" and real-life witchy vibes

This week, we're diving into the gloriously gross horror of Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell (2009), the ultimate cautionary tale about ambition, where one wrong decision will get you promoted to HELL! Costume designer Isis Mussenden (The Chronicles of Narnia, American Psycho) dresses loan officer Christine (Alison Lohman) in prim pencil skirts and promotion-ready blouses along with Mrs. Ganush's witchcore chic of scarves and handkerchiefs. Plus, we talk early-2000s horror aesthetics, animatronic goats, and why Christine's downfall might just be the most stylish damnation ever put on screen.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Isis Mussenden's inspirations and early-2000s horror palette

• Christine's corporate-to-cursed costume evolution

• Mrs. Ganush's grotesque glam and "witch weapon" styling

• The symbolism of that cursed button

• Our "Add to Cart" picks: cursed accessories edition

Bonus tangents include:

• Marie's old life working in a bank and her own finance fashion choices (minus the curses)

• Charmed and Buffy — the Halliwell Sisters get their shoutout

• Marie's crazy purse collection and "purse of the day" ...and more!

Freaky witch month continues! Smear some red lipstick and snap some twigs because we're worshipping at the altar of Gladys, Amy Madigan's instantly iconic nightmare auntie in Weapons (2025). Costume designer Trish Summerville outfits her like a 1970s thrift witch in oversized tinted glasses, plastic baubles, and the kind of chaotic color-clashing that can give you anxiety (in a good way). We unpack her intense microbangs and ritual props, praise her brooch game, and discuss why she deserves a prequel. Then, we get into conspiracy theories about her Madonna Inn-print carpet bag! We also discuss Marie's visit to the Showgirls Museum in Vegas. Tune in now!
