Selena Gomez‘s character Mabel in Hulu’s hit show,
Only Murders in the Building, has a distinctively
cool style that’s all her own. She loves a good turtleneck, cozy
knit, and especially, a standout outerwear moment.
The show’s costume designer, Dana Covarrubias, tells InStyle, that the costumes really help
tell each character’s story. “With Mabel, we started out with her
in these crazy bright, really fun coats,” Covarrubias said. “But
then, toward of the end of the season, we got much more into
classic silhouettes. The journey was that she was going from being
who she was before and transitioning into the world that Charles
and Oliver are in. We incorporated more traditional detective
style, like plaids and the classic trench silhouettes.”
Covarrubias said Mabel’s outfit had another purpose too. “We
spent a lot of time thinking about how each person uses their
clothing as a tool, sort of within the mystery itself. Selena’s
character uses her clothing as a type of armor and she sort of
protects herself from other people with her clothing.”
In honor of the first few episodes of season 2 dropping on Hulu
we’re looking back at Mabel’s best outfits from season 1, and the
few that we’ve seen so far in season 2. (If you want a refresher of
where the murder podcast trio left off — read our
