Rewind the tape —Episode 7 highlights
One of our favorite outfits is...
…the suit that Claudia wears to their meeting with Anderson.
This is the first —and so far only— time we see Claudia wear a suit. Combined with her hair, which she started to wear pulled up in episode six, and her grown woman’s purse, this is the closest she gets to shedding the facade of youth while in public —but, of course, Tom’s “little girl” reminds us that she can never fully access womanhood.
But she’s trying, and the suit symbolizes her new position in the family structure, the attempt to make herself into an equal: at the start of episode five she was still the daughter left home while her parents went to meet Anderson, now she not only attends the negotiations, but is an active participant, handing Tom the list that ends up defining his decision.
The palettes of their outfits seem heavily symbolic too: Claudia, in beige, brown and red, stands apart from Louis and Lestat’s blue suits, but Louis keeps “a little shelf” for her, a touch of red in his tie that matches her crimson shirt.
What's a favorite look of yours? Claudia's high-waist pants and cape from the New Year party? One of their Mardi Gras outfits? Armand's unsubtly vampiric coat?

Some ppl are saying that doesn't make sense to like Louis but defend Lestat but for me it makes even less sense to defend Claudia and Armand at the same time, man it's canonical that he killed and tortured her, why would you love the character who killed your favorite character?
They're all monsters.
Raping, killing, maiming monsters.
In the case of Louis and Armand that will be very hard to accept for some, I bet, though I think that Louis himself already says it best:
‘Yes,’ I said softly to him, ‘that is the crowning evil, that we can even go so far as to love each other, you and I. And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other.’
Also: love is nothing we choose. Sometimes it is helpless.
Sometimes ... it is a monster.

The damp climate on every painted sign, every stone facade. High windows, through which enameled bits of civilization glitter. Silhouettes emerging, wandering out to catch a silent flash of lightning.The silky warmth of summer rain.
Desperately alive... and desperately fragile.
~ IWTV, ep 7

Armand’s gorgeous titties aside I am so mf intrigued by this room that they’re in bcus I’m assuming it’s armand’s room at the theater, and with this in mind there is both a painting *in progress* on display there and allusive red curtains (VERY MARIUS’S ROOM IN VENICE), which like omg this combined with how the last name armand is going by in his theater days is literally marius makes me think my boy is firmly clinging to his past (if not stuck in it) and I’m so so excited by this character stuff at work here
