How the Funny and Feminist Fashion in 'Palm Royale' Further the Storytelling

Emmy-winning designer Alix Friedberg sourced 50-60% original vintage pieces to reflect character arcs and feminist themes in Palm Royale Season 2, premiering this week.

  • On its Season 2 premiere week, the Apple TV series Palm Royale features Emmy-winning costume designer Alix Friedberg coordinating 'thousands' of looks to reflect jet-setting style.
  • Alix Friedberg says about 50–60% of the bright costumes are original designer garments sourced from vintage vendors, with the team building or duplicating pieces when originals are unavailable.
  • Dinah's wardrobe features original Oscar de la Renta pieces described as near-perfect for the character, while Evelyn wears an original emerald green Halston jersey; Friedberg cites Bill Blass and Oleg Cassini as notable designers.
  • The show uses costumes to sharpen comic beats and character traits, with Evelyn's stoic delivery amplified by seven wigs and Douglas's decline shown through threadbare Hawaiian shirts.
  • Costume choices underscore this season's feminist throughlines as Dinah moves into pantsuits symbolizing independence, while Norma's turban evolves into a central emblem signaling her arrival and readiness to rule.
