It's hard not to see Joni Mitchell any time Daisy steps on a stage. A lot of her wardrobe looks like it would be right at home on Mitchell in the 1970s, and that was definitely Wingate's intention.
Stevie Nicks is known for her flowy, dreamy stage looks. When Daisy steps out wearing the gold Halston dress for The Six's big show, it's like seeing Nicks herself. Wingate tells PEOPLE that Nicks was certainly a primary source of inspiration for the show's main character, including when it came to this iconic look. "It's really dramatic. It was a ...
Many of Daisy's casual looks — especially when she's rocking up in denim cutoffs and gauzy shirts — harken back to Linda Ronstadt. Wingate used several pictures of the popular singer in her own casual-wear as inspo for Keough's wardrobe.
Wingate had plenty of inspiration for Daisy's coats, including Cher, who's worn a number of fabulous fur coats over the years. The costume designer picked up all kinds of coats for Keough while putting together her wardrobe. "I had a huge closet, and my office was so full," she says. "The bathroom in my office at Paramount was called the Fur Room, ...
Wingate tells PEOPLE that the primary inspiration for Billy's character's look was "early Springsteen" when he was "super, super cool." "[Sam Claflin] had the least interesting closet," she adds. "I always felt bad. I'd be like, 'Here's another leather jacket.' Everyone else had so much, and Billy came out in his denim shirt and denim jacket."
Wingate had several inspirations for Camila Dunne (Camila Morrone), because the character had such an evolution over the course of the show. Two of her primary sources of inspiration were Ali MacGraw and Bianca Jagger, but Sharon Tate was a stopping point along Camila's storyline.
Simply looking at Camila's character, you can easily picture Cher in the 1970s. Camila has long dark hair, and when she wears it straight, she's Cher. Many of her outfits harken back to the Cher of yesteryear — and Wingate had a few photos of Cher handy when creating the character's wardrobe.
Wingate had a lot of inspiration for Karen Sirko [Suki Waterhouse], who was often a bit androgynous but still edgy and sexy. All those vests that Karen wears are a direct reference to Patti Smith, who also was known to rock a vest on stage.
Suzi Quatro was also another point of reference for Karen's character (among other rockers), because "every character had their own specific thing" and Karen's was her edginess and love of structure. She also rocked a leather jacket like the true star she (and Quatro) was.
