Margot is seen as the typical plain and simple character. Her costume will reflect this by being as minimal as possible with detail, but revealing certain aspects of her personality. She can't afford expensive clothing, so the main staple of her outfits will be her khaki parka, as the film is set in winter and she will be wearing this most of the time. Other features will be simple T-shirts and and jeans, always in dark or neutral colours with no patterns or intricate detailing. This will emphasise how naive and transparent she is at the start of the film; perhaps later in the film her costumes will evolve due the the drastic changes Eva causes in her personality. This costume for the opening will also contrast well with Eva's flamboyant style. She will also almost always wearing old,black boots. The factors combined will give her character a precise continuity through her aesthetic on the opening scenes and further in the film.
Eva:
Eva's character is much more flamboyant and in a way, self aware than Margot. She feels the need to assert herself over others because of her own insecurities, and this is projected through her costume. During the dream sequence, emphasis will be on the detailing of the clothing i.e. patterns, intricate detailing and bold colours. There will be no main focus of the character as in Margot, showing the erratic and changeable nature of her character. It may also suggest how she tries to distract people through her looks and sycophantic tendencies, whilst hiding her true dark, manipulative personality.
