In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE,Deatherage detailed how he put together the extravagant costumefor one of music’s biggest pop stars.
“It’s been such a gift, honestly, to create such cool, complex things and then let so many people see them,” Deatherage told PEOPLE of crafting Roan’s look.
The burlesque-inspired getup Roan wore in the promo was originally slated for a performance at a music festival. However, Deatherage admitted that the plan for the outfit evolved as it came together.
“As we kept building and the look kept evolving and getting cooler and more complex, it was apparent that this look needed to be seen in a more stationary moment, rather than jumping around on stage,” Deatherage says. “Because the last thing we wanted to do is prohibit Chappell from being able to be Chappell on stage — prohibit the magic.”
