One Battle After Another really does exemplify excellence in contemporary film costumes. I’m sure her Oscar nomination was mainly due to “coattails,” but I truly believe what Colleen Atwood pulled together for this movie was some of the best work of her decades-long career: Willa’s pink frilly skirt and motorcycle jacket combo, Lockjaw’s way-too-tight undershirt, Sergio’s sleek blue track jacket, Perfidia’s scorching hot revolutionary chic outfits, Bob’s iconically disheveled flannel robe/grey beanie/oversized sunglasses combo, and so many more… just outstanding costuming across-the-board.
