One Dress a Day Challenge
August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi
Star Wars: Andor (episode 7, "Announcement") / Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma
I had mixed feelings about the design work in this show overall, but I really liked Mon Mothma's costumes! This golden gown, which she wears for a party that she is hosting, is a particular standout. I love the asymmetrical cape/jacket, particularly the way it drapes in back; unfortunately, we only get a full-length back view in an out-of-focus shot. And the subtle texturing of the fabric on the main dress makes it look very luxurious.
The costume designer for this series was Michael Wilkinson. He commented: "She come from a wealthy family on Chandrila, but she is now stationed on Coruscant. The idea was to bring elements of clothing from her home. We came up with a set of colors and textures mostly drawn from other iterations of Mon Mothma. I really leaned into the pale neutral tones. I loved all of those slightly shimmery organic textures, hints of metals. But what I really was fascinated about for her costumes was the fact that she's playing a role. That sense of the public self, the private self."

Today is the day I realized the significance of Cassian's long, brown jacket worn in the Andor season finale. It's a blend of jackets worn by Maarva and Clem, but also has design elements unique to Cassian. This level of detail is one of the many reasons I adore this brilliant show. Bravo Michael Wilkinson 👏👏👏
The Andor family sure loves a brown duster 😍

Syirl Karn + Outfits in ANDOR Season 1
“For Syril, very early in the show he’s established as a person who really cares about his personal appearance when he’s in his uniform. There’s a comment that he’s specifically tailored his uniform to look the way he wants to look, he knows the power of clothing and how it affects how you feel about yourself. So he always brings this precision and fastidiousness to his clothing.”
- Michael Wilkinson, Andor costume designer

‘Andor’ Costume Designers Break Down Looks of Mon Mothma, Luthen Rael and Imperial Prisoners
For Diego Luna’s Cassian, Wilkinson draped him in warm, earthy tones with fabrics that were textural.
When audiences first meet him, he’s in “beautiful oilcloth from old leather jackets with iconic details such as a high neckline and a hood.” By the end, the silhouettes become leaner and streamlined.
“He has a beautiful tailored long-length linen coat that we made for him that moves beautifully for all the action sequences. It’s a grown-up silhouette.”
To outfit Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma, he looked at prominent people, including leading senators and United Nations members, keeping power dressing in mind. “I imagined to what extent the futuristic off-planet version of that would look like,” he says. “I leaned into the pale neutral tones.”
Her blue senate robe with a gold lining is “extremely architectural and quite austere,” Wilkinson says. “With her, there was a lot of adventurous tailoring and an exploration of silhouettes and layering that we did in her costumes, which reflect her switched-on sophisticated sense of aesthetics.”
Clothing for Mon Mothma’s more private moments “where the mask slips” hint at another side of her personality. Wilkinson relaxed her silhouette when Tay Kolma (Ben Miles) visits, for example, giving her outfit a flowing look.
“It almost feels like a dressing gown,” he says. “That private look contrasts quite a lot with her senator robes.”
He was able to explore a duality for Stellan Skarsgård’s Luthen Rael, an antiques dealer and the leader of a start-up rebellion looking to take down the Galactic Empire. “Luthen had this lovely layering of velvety textures and high-end fabrics,” he says.
The jewelry was custom-made, as Wilkinson was “inspired by rings made from brushed titanium and rare metals.”
When Rael is out providing support for a growing Rebel Alliance, he wears a linen poncho.
“He’s a man of action when he’s off, Wilkinson says. “We go from jewel tones to an earthy look with natural fabrics such as linen and cotton.”
The stark white costumes worn on the Narkina 5 Imperial Prison Complex proved to be a design challenge. Stark white, they needed to feel mass-produced and disposable.
“It was one costume worn by hundreds and seen over three episodes. I knew I wanted the outfits to be bright white with a strong graphic,” says Wilkinson. “So, I used a hot press to fuse the orange graphics onto this white paper-like fabric we found that had a high-tech feel.”

All the production design and costume design for Andor is impeccable, but for me the aesthetics of Mon Mothma’s home and her clothing are particularly pleasing. They fit both her and the facade she is playing so perfectly while also being so incredibly beautiful that I wish I could personally thank Luke Hull and Michael Wilkinson for the work they did on this show because they really did help make it the best Star Wars show yet.
