Castle is an ABC show starring Nathan Fillion as novelist Richard Castle and Stana Katic as NYPD Detective Kate Beckett. It's about a writer of mystery novels who basically joins the NYPD. If you've never seen it, it is far more similar to Bones than other crime shows as it tends to look at everything through a slightly humourous lens. And Nathan Fillion is hot as well as Canadian...which always helps.
This doesn't have spoilers in it, but if you'd rather not know any information before you see it, then stop reading! It is very picture heavy too.
They had a "film noir" style episode last night which I thought was pretty well done. Castle was 'narrating' the flashback bits, so they do tend to be on the cheesier side of life but again in a humourous, not bothersome way. The styling was really well done on the supporting characters, and pretty well done on the main characters.
Alexis was definitely the best dressed of the show:
Her hair was *fabulous* in this bit.
This dress is sheer on top with a peplum! The waist band is a V shape as well.
The skirt of this suit matched the plaid on the collar and cuffs; again, her hair was really nice.
Martha looked lovely I thought. This suit had studs all over.
I loved that everyone was in floor length gowns - either I don't notice or this detail of night clubs in the 40s is often missed (people are usually in day length dresses.)
Both of Lanie's gowns were floor length. I loved the Billie Holiday influence!
This dress of Kate's was probably going to for the Rita Hayworth in 'Gilda' look.
A couple more of her glamours look.
Castle didn't have anything too exciting going on, just suits and hats...and high waisted pants! I have an obsession with guys bums in high waisted pants. Sorry, haha. The worst is Gene Kelly in the white pants in Singin' In The Rain...
Esposito got the best looks of the mens department. The tie was the only really good 40s tie, aside from one Ryan wears I couldn't get a full image of.
His suit! On the right. Esposito is Cuban and his suit looks like he robbed Ricki Ricardo. I love it!
I love the red hat on this extra as well.
And this chartreuse gown is divine. The applique is exquisitely beaded and I adore her rust coloured gloves.
The episode definitely had some fashion highlights. Absolutely nothing stood out as glaringly inaccurate that I saw.
