BILL (2015)

Really early on, in the scripts, when we were talking with the various studios, I said whatever gets cut, anything can get lost...I'm open to negotiation on absolutely everything, apart from the line in your bum. That stays in a I get to say it.

For our two men we have a lot of leather, or whatever they used, a minimum of two belts, (seriously don’t stare too long at Lope, you’ll realise how big it is)

Juan has black studded leather coat that looks like its been torn and woven back together a few times with black leather cords.

And then for Gabriel, two outfits are shown, there’s the wider shots which had a plainer black button up doublet* and fluffy pair of black shorts, there is some small intricate pattern in black thread on her shoulders, the edges of her doublet are only slightly flared. As well as white lace around the collar and end of the sleeves. And finally a pair of leather gloves.

Once she blends amongst the women she changes, her doublet is replaced, she looses her gloves. The collar is extended up to match the ladies, the lace as well. Beads and jewels are woven in, the shoulders are even more puffed and even have a design on them.

The sleeves look layered and for an extra bonus there is a bit of fabric that sits behind her arms that imitates the long sleeves, she picks them up to move next to Juan.

You can see the extra bit of fabric on her other side for a brief moment when she steps back next to Juan.

I can’t say for sure, because there isn’t a shot of their lower halves after this but I think Gabriel is still wearing the shorts she had at the start, I say this only because the actor moves so easily and it doesn’t appear that they're weighed down by the dress.

But that isn’t the end for the lovely outfit, because the doublet/dress makes another appearance later in the film at Bills first attempt at a play.

Fixed it 😁

This is after King Philip asks 'Who would like to kill a Queen?' And while Lope and Juan are totally on board, Gabriel does not look excited at all.
