How designer Marg Horwell transforms Sarah Snook in ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray' through quick costume changes (exclusive images)
"She had a lot of physical offers, which is so great as a designer to be able to respond to," Marg Horwell tells Gold Derby about working with Sarah Snook on The Picture of Dorian Gray. Horwell is the costume designer and scenic designer of the hit play, and impressively, received two Tony nominations for her work — one for each discipline. Snook portrays all 26 characters in this iteration of Oscar Wilde's classic tale of obsession and vanity. As cameras swirl around the actress, she flits between personas before the audience's eyes. Horwell's visuals become an essential tool, not only in delineating each figure in the story, but detailing Dorian's descent. In our recent interview, the designer discusses allowing the audiences to witness the magic of Snook's many quick changes. "I think it's about making the best version of seeing something you're not meant to see," says Horwell. More from GoldDerby 'The Last of Us' director Kate Herron on bringing the Ellie and Dina relationship to the show: 'It was a privilege' 'Sunset Boulevard': Will Andrew Lloyd Webber break a 30-year Tony drought? How Zoe Saldaña helped shape Pixar's upcoming film 'Elio' Photo by Marg Horwell Sarah Snook is playing 26 different roles in this play. She constantly switches back and forth in a scene, and sometimes acts opposite filmed versions of herself. With such a vast array of characters, where was your starting point for the costumes? Marg Horwell: We built it like building blocks a bit, so it felt less enormous when we first started out. Kip [Williams] was writing the adaptation while we were designing, it was kind of moving at the same time. So when we would hit points where there were many, many characters, we would be handpicking who the most prominent characters would be. So he was crafting that as we were going along. It feels like a gradual thing now, but I guess we started with who she would be on stage and how that would move, and then furnished around her with everybody else. I think the biggest scene, she's opposite six versions of herself. So yeah, they're big. Only doing one character at a time, they do feel quite intimate and small, but actually when you see them all together, it does feel like a very big scene. Photo by Marg Horwell The costuming is essential for delineating characters. Especially since Snook completes most costume changes in front of the audience. How did you craft outfits that can do a rapid quick change on stage? I think the key to how it works in the production is that it starts very simple. Sarah changes her voice and looks at a different camera and then adds small props. She's smoking when she's Lord Henry, she's holding a paintbrush when she's Basil. It's a conversation between two people and it's just that subtle shift of her posture and her voice. And it's a tiny bit of design where actually you do start to hear them before you see them, and then we build them gradually. We do meet Lord Henry on camera first and see him fully dressed and imagined as a filmed character, and then we build him live on stage. So it's to me, the most thrilling thing because it's exposing the theatrical devices that you don't ever really get to see. It's the things we usually hide. So you have cameras circling Sarah, so she can always be speaking, nothing goes over her head. Things have to attach at the back. Facial hair goes on in between words. Wigs, you get one shot at because the microphone has to still work without getting bumped by anybody. So it works like more choreography. It ends up being a team of people learning a dance, learning how to communicate really well with each other, and it lands with music, so it feels very satisfying when you watch it. Photo by Marg Horwell The production takes visual cues from different time periods. How did the elements of past and present come together for you? It's something that I'm really interested in a lot of my work. If we're making work now, and we're not trying to make a museum piece or a true historically accurate piece, then it is something that should draw on all aspects, including things that are relevant now. This piece especially, because it is about someone who doesn't age and someone who in our production starts in the late 1800s, and we never really say where we end. I think as more contemporary influences enter the production, that means that I have license to draw from anything from the last hundred years of fashion or any kind of prominent, especially androgynous or queer figures from history. I love historical fashion, but I love looking at all kinds of influences. There are lots of great new romantics influences, a lot of androgynous fashion and musicians from late '80s and early '90s who were really pushing the envelope and starting to experiment with who they were publicly. It's a pretty subversive, exciting, experimental time. So that's all packed into that story for me in a great way. I think that really speaks to the journey of someone who has no consequences and can try anything and then falls in love with excess. Photo by Marg Horwell Dorian's white, Ziggy Stardust-esque jacket feels like a prime example of that androgyny. Flowers bloom from the sleeves, and those flowers become a major motif in your scenic design. What inspired that choice? I think it's the second chapter in the book, where Oscar Wilde describes a garden. He has written these whole chapters where he will describe fabric for paragraphs and paragraphs, or jewels and how they might glint in the sun. And this garden is so beautifully described. I love artificial things on stage. We know it's theater, we know it's something pretending to be real, and in a story like this that lends itself to artifice and manufactured identity very well. So I like that there's fake flowers all the way through, and I like that they are almost improbable in the way that they present themselves. So we start very simply with one flower and then that motif starts to take over. It starts to grow out of the set, starts to grow out of the furniture, and eventually is growing out of Dorian's costume and up around his neck. I think there's also something about when flowers start to turn, and there's something so cloying and overwhelming about that when they're so perfumed and heady that it's almost about to tip over into being horrible. Dorian gets to a point where he is absolutely suffocated by his own excess and his own greed. In that country house scene, there's a lot of floral things, that from a distance look like big floral arrangements, but there's lots of junk in there as well. There's stuff from a party shop, there's lots of silly plastic fruit and fake burgers. A zombie hand is my favorite thing. It's at the top of one and it's a zombie hand that lights up. It's this full, cheap capitalist explosion that you just get glimpses of on camera. That's when it's at its peak. It travels the whole way through the show, through the set and the costume. And I think it's something that is a great thing that can evolve with character and then go from being very beautiful to being actually quite disconcerting and gross. That traveling motif really aids in the concept of Dorian Gray being this myth or fable. Yeah, I think that's right. It really is a fable at some point or a kind of mythology. Even within the story of someone with a reputation that is incredibly positive and then can become quite sordid and notorious. Just the way that can turn. You're now a two-time Tony nominee. It's rare to receive two nominations for the same show. What are you most looking forward to at the Tony Awards? It's a huge honor. It's kind of otherworldly. Like something you wish for or imagine could happen, and never actually really believed that it would happen. I'm in Australia at the moment and we're flying over for the ceremony. There's something about the Broadway community over there that is just something that I've never experienced before. I have felt really welcomed and just so thrilled to be part of it. The way that this city celebrates this industry is a very rare and incredibly special thing. So I feel like being in Radio City ... being there with everyone who's made work this year is the most exciting thing. All of those people who, you've seen them in shows, they have seen your show, and there is actually a really genuine dialogue happening with that community. It's remarkable to experience for the first time. That's what I'm most excited about … and probably really great snacks! This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman Seen Cuddling During Broadway Show
Kaia Gerber has a new love interest following her split from Austin Butler. The model was recently spotted with actor Lewis Pullman at a Broadway show, The Picture of Dorian Gray, starring Succession's Sarah Snook. An eyewitness told Page Six, 'They are definitely together. Kaia sat resting her head on Lewis's shoulder throughout the performance.' Before their Broadway relationship debut, Gerber was seen at Pullman's birthday celebration in Los Angeles in January, sparking the first rumors of a budding romance. 'They've been spending time together the last few weeks,' a source told People. 'They're a cute couple and very low-key,' the insider added. In the photos, Gerber is seen closely holding onto Pullman's arm. Neither Gerber nor Pullman has officially confirmed their relationship. So, who is Lewis Pullman? Here's everything to know about the actor and his reported connection to Gerber. Pullman comes from a creative family. Pullman, 32, is the son of actor Bill Pullman and contemporary dancer and choreographer Tamara Hurwitz. His father is well-known for his roles in films like Independence Day, While You Were Sleeping, and Spaceballs. Though Pullman grew up living in both Los Angeles and Montana, his family largely kept him away from the entertainment industry. Pullman has opened up about how his father tried to keep his work as an actor away from their family's life at home, and how he didn't watch much TV growing up. Instead, his family focused on music and the arts, with Pullman eventually discovering acting in high school. 'My dad kept his career very separate so that we could have a somewhat normal upbringing,' Pullman said in a January 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. 'There was always an element of mystery behind his career. We were a very creative family, everyone is in the arts to some degree, but we weren't allowed to watch TV.' In a September 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Pullman joked, 'None of us can do our taxes worth shit, but we can put on a nice, decent performance.' Pullman has steadily built a strong career in the entertainment industry. He gained widespread recognition for his role as Robert Floyd in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), alongside Tom Cruise. The success of the film was major for Pullman's career, but he had already made a name for himself in previous projects such as Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) and The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018). More recently, he starred in the Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ series Lessons in Chemistry, playing Calvin Evans, a highly intelligent but timid chemist, opposite Brie Larson. His performance secured him his first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie in 2024, as well as his first Critics Choice nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television in 2024. 'It was such a good working experience. I didn't come home feeling like I was dragging any sort of demons with me. It was a very warm and loving experience for me that I was excited to keep going,' he said of his role as Calvin in an August 2024 interview with The Wrap. Pullman has also starred in the Western sci-fi series Outer Range and is set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the superhero Sentry in Thunderbolts this year. He appeared in the 2024 thriller Skincare, too. In an August 2024 video interview with MovieWeb, he described his character, Jordan, as 'a Russian doll of all sorts of different reveals.' 'I just was really drawn to this idea of a person who is sort of a drifter. There's a lot you can't tell whether it's true or not. And there are parts where he's very successful at his game that he's running. And then there are parts that he's not so successful. But I think it was interesting to try and identify,' he added. In 2023, Pullman spoke with People about his early decision to become an actor and how his father's advice helped him through it—although he wanted to 'do it his own way' at first. 'Once I decided that's what I wanted to do, my dad was never like, 'You've got to do it,' or 'You shouldn't do this,'' Pullman said. 'He was just like 'Give it a shot. Whatever kaleidoscope you want to look at life through, if it feels good, do it.'' 'He knows what gets me excited, what makes me nervous, what scares me,' Pullman added. 'And then he also has so much experience in the business and with the craft. So all of his advice is catered towards me. I don't know where I'd be at without it.' Outside of acting, Pullman is a drummer for the band Atta Boy. The indie group has been together for over a decade, releasing multiple albums. In 2020, the band members regrouped for the first time in eight years. 'We were curious to get back together and see what our sound was because it had been eight years since we were in the same room together,' Pullman said in an interview with AudioFemme. 'My personal goal was to refine what our sound was and reintegrate and just kind of challenge ourselves to push each other into new realms.' Before being linked to Gerber, Pullman was in a relationship with Delilah star Rainey Qualley, the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell and Margaret Qualley's sister. The two reportedly dated from 2020 to 2023, making one of their first public appearances as a couple at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in May 2022. However, by late 2023, they had seemingly separated, per PopSugar. Pullman and Qualley's parents were also co-stars in the past. 'And then actually we realized when we had started dating our parents had done a movie together, and we watched it together one night,' Qualley said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Pullman won an award for Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking, Ensemble Cast, for his role in Them That Follow alongside his co-stars Kaitlyn Dever, Olivia Colman, Walton Goggins, Thomas Mann, and Jim Gaffigan. Pullman attended his first Academy Awards in 2023 following the success of Top Gun: Maverick, as it became 2022's 'biggest-grossing film.' 'I'm a little excited, but also terrified,' he admitted to GQ UK ahead of the event. He stepped out in a custom Thom Browne tuxedo, finished with grosgrain edge detailing and a Kentucky bow tie, a nod to his Montana roots. 'I want my clothes to reflect where I come from. I don't want to feel like I'm just a mannequin,' he added. Pullman presented the award for Excellence in Contemporary Television at the 2023 Costume Designer Guild Awards alongside his Top Gun: Maverick co-stars, Greg Tarzan Davis and Monica Barbaro. He stepped out in a Saint Laurent suit for the show. Unlike many other Hollywood actors, Pullman prefers to keep a low profile. He doesn't appear to have a public Instagram account and seldom addresses his dating history during interviews. In a January 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the interviewer said to him, 'This is why you need social media—to announce things like this,' when talking about Pullman's podcast idea. In his interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Pullman shared that he wanted to start a podcast with his Top Gun: Maverick co-stars Danny Ramirez and Greg Tarzan Davis. 'We wanted to call it Knowledge Heist but that title was taken,' he said. 'Basically, we all have a really strong rapport but are very different guys, so the idea was to sit down together with great minds we've had the chance to meet over the years and steal all their golden nuggets of wisdom. It's like Smartless, but less smart. And less funny.'
