Charles Wainwright has the trench coat that's very Humphrey Bogart Casablanca, and Gwendolyn has her short, cropped driving coat,” says Guzzi. And everybody had a very specific coat silhouette. So everybody's got layers to help set that mood and that film noir vibe. “This is a gloomy, foggy, cool northern California coastal town. Even Hanover’s lab coat is a slightly different shade of blue because he, as a character, wouldn't want to quite be in the same shade that the nurse's uniform is, because he runs the hospital and has a very egocentric view of himself.” They additionally distinguished Mildred’s look by adding a pin on her collar lapel to signify her time in World War II with the Army Nurse Corps.Ĭapes and statement outerwear are recurring themes throughout the show. “Picking different shades also sort of helped distinguish a hierarchy - lighter colors for the orderlies and the training nurses, versus the more saturated colors of the nurse dress itself. “We didn't want just monochromatic everything in the exact same shades, so you do get a little bit of color texture with different tones of blue-green,” says Guzzi. While Mildred and head nurse Betsy Bucket (Judy Davis) wear the long-sleeved, belted, buttoned dresses, the orderlies wear a shirt and pants in two different shades of green, while trainee nurses don a lighter-colored apron over short-sleeved styles - all in slightly different variations of the hue for visual interest.
