It also had a lot of moving parts, which required a three-member team and almost 20 days worths of work combined. Deatherage — who also designed Roan’s swan ensemble forThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon —and Katie Maimi worked on sewing the bodice and dramatic dragonfly wings jutting out from the hips, while Deatherage’s boyfriend Christopher Minafo created the dramatic headwear. It took the trio around 500 hours to complete.
