Schitt's Creek swept the Emmys last year with Catherine O'Hara taking home the award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series with her portrayal of the eccentric Moira Rose. Throughout the six seasons of the Pop TV show, Moira Rose's monochromatic black and white outfits have been a fan-favorite staple. Her wild looks also are the perfect at-home DIY Halloween costume for the upcoming holiday!
Moira Rose had so many episodes of her self-invented iconic styles with a variety of wigs to go along with them. In season two's "Finding David," David (Daniel Levy) runs away from Schitt's Creek and attempts to take refuge on an Amish family's farm, which prompts the Roses to take their first family road trip, which of course requires a LEWK from Moira. The former soap opera star rocked a textured black dress that was Lanvin for H&M and found on eBay by the show's costume designer Debra Hanson. She accessorized with bizarrely patterned fishnets, fingerless Chanel leather gloves, insanely high patent leather heels, and a Little Girl design hat that Hanson decked out with feathers and jewels. Hanson added that Moira rocked MAC's Dubonnet—darker than her usual Ruby Woo lip. Iconic, glamorous and so easy to recreate on a budget!
Another fan-fave look from Moira wasSchitt's Creek's season five "Life Is a Cabaret" finale episode, when she directs a small-town production of Cabaretand ends up having to put on her best Liza Minelli when her star, Stevie, goes missing! Like your last-minute Halloween costume, Moira had to pull together what she had to play the part of Sally Bowles. "Moira's really trying to survive in the moment. What's great is that Moira's not thinking, 'Let's put a perfect Cabaret look together.' It's, What could Moira pull off in 10 minutes?" Catherine O'Hara said of this scene in an interview withVanity Fair. She ends up wearing one of Moira's "bed vests" with a broach, high-waisted sparkling pinstripe black pants, a black, chin-length wig, spidery fake eyelashes, and a black top hat. It was, as it turns out, the first time that O'Hara had exposed her arms and shoulders in any of the show's costumes thus far.
And for her day-to-day looks, Moira Rose was always layering her black and white high-end items, which you can easily DIY! Recall when the Rose matriarch layered a black-and-white asymmetrical Proenza Schouler tunic over a bodysuit and paired it with slim leather pants that seamlessly transitioned to black leather booties. She accessorized with her gaudy, large necklaces — one a black choker and the other laying perfectly on with neck with some added sparkle. To fully achieve a Moira Rose costume, don't forget a massive pair of black sunnies and a leather black bag!
