In this episode of The Costume House with Spencer Williams, the doors open wide for a true legend of costume design—Jenny Beavan.

The conversation begins with The Choral, Jenny’s latest collaboration with director Nicholas Hytner, where she discusses crafting costumes that balance character, history, and emotional precision. But when you sit down with an icon, the conversation doesn’t stop there. Spencer and Jenny also reflect on her extraordinary career, revisiting some of her most beloved and influential work including the Mad Max films, Cruella, A Room with a View, Ever After: A Cinderella Story, and more.

Thoughtful, funny, and deeply inspiring, this episode is both a masterclass in costume storytelling and a celebration of a designer whose work continues to shape how we see film, character, and style.
