Heidi Bivens Is Hollywood's Sartorial Savant

Heidi Bivens fell into an Amazon shopping wormhole recently. She came across a lace, Victorian dickey that she had once upon a time saved for Euphoria’s resident dreamy art girl, Jules Vaughn, played by Hunter Schafer. It was just cosplay-adjacent enough to prompt Bivens to click through to the shop itself, which happened to be stocked with tons of Jules-core threads. As the HBO show’s costume designer, Bivens loves finding the perfect piece in the most random place—it makes the characters’ personal style seem real in a way that goes beyond accuracy. “People curate their life and wardrobe over time,” she says over the phone from New York’s Hudson Valley. “And that's part of [costume design], bringing ideas through that filter of just trying to piece together [your style] over time.”
