Question

Read the following scenario:

A stage play is in production about an aging movie starlet who is trying to regain some of her lost fame in one final feature film. The character is proud and haughty, but also extremely vulnerable. Once the epitome of fashion and glamour, she is now on the outside of the “it” crowd looking in. Which of the following might a costume designer do to help the audiences see this character’s qualities?

A. Dress the character in up-to-date, contemporary fashions that would allow her to blend in with the new set of actresses.
B. Dress the character in outdated high fashions that would have been state-of-the-art when the character was in her prime.
C. Dress the character in muted blues and purples to convey a sense of loneliness and melancholy.

The character wants to be like how she used to be, when she was very famous and young. So she would wear bold and expensive clothes of her time to make people believe she is still within this "it crowd" even if this is not true.
