Emmy magazine Carol Cutshall interview
“It was such a drastic change going into season two,” says Cutshall of the drama, returning May 12 to AMC and AMC+. “We went from the height of glamour, which we last saw during a Mardi Gras party, to the polar opposite in the premiere. When you look at Louis and Claudia in their shearling coats in Romania and the amount of mud and blood on them, those looks are built for surviving and searching and starting over.”
But glamour returns to their lives as the pair forge ahead in Paris. In short order, they are welcomed into a theatrical coven of thespians operating out of the Théâtre des Vampires. Seduced by their habit of living loudly and proudly — at least at night — Louis relaxes into his post-Lestat life, taking up photography and exploring his sexuality in subtle ways.
“The look I landed on for him was that of artists and café society, and French workwear with a little bit of a blue-collar look,” Cutshall says. “It’s not the finery that we are used to for Louis, but his fastidiousness in how he wears it — tucked and belted — is still there.”
There is a visual hierarchy among these old-world vampires. Louis wears the costume of the common man, placing him below the coven’s creative director, Armand (Assad Zaman), the so-called love of his life who was unmasked as an ancient vampire in season one. When they meet, Armand is dressed in warm colors and loosely draped outfits with open collars, fearlessly baring the neck — a vulnerable point for humans and vampires alike.
“We want to break away from the disguise he had in season one, because he is the mega predator,” Cutshall says. “He’s not threatened by anyone. So, in everything he does and wears, he can be like an animal who is not afraid to lie on their back and bare their belly.”
Claudia, meanwhile, sees kindred spirits in the coven’s distinctive personalities. She has grown intellectually beyond her eternally teenage shell and now uses vibrant clothes — like the dress she wears for their first theater outing — to grasp at an intangible womanhood. That signature dress and cape were scripted as lavender and white, but Cutshall dyed the fabric an orchid color and added a gray crosshatched cape that glows onscreen; the ensemble stands out against the make-do fashion of a post-war world.
“For Claudia to have this pristine dress made for her, and because she is seeing who she is for the first time, she needs to be the freshest flower there,” Cutshall says.
