– Costume designer Molly Rogers took responsibility for Aidan’s controversial outfit choice
– John Corbett requested the Belstaff jacket for his character, Aidan Shaw
– Rogers defends the jacket’s choice as being “very Aidan”
Molly Rogers, the costume designer for the “Sex and the City” reboot “And Just Like That,” recently spoke out about Aidan Shaw’s controversial outfit choice in the series, particularly the much-mocked Belstaff jacket. The responsibility for the choice, according to Rogers, lies with actor John Corbett himself.
Rogers noted that Corbett requested the Belstaff jacket for his character, Aidan Shaw, which led to the decision to use it in the show. Despite criticisms, she staunchly defended the jacket’s inclusion, stating that it was “very Aidan” and insisted that Corbett’s input was valuable.
Rogers shared that when they were dressing the characters for the reboot, they took into account different factors, such as time, age, and the characters’ development. Though she knew the outfits had to make sense, she also maintained that Corbett’s portrayal of Aidan required the Belstaff jacket.
