About the Costume

This beautiful orange/red sweater has been used at least three times over the years. It was first seen in 1997 on Lynn Whitfield as Roz Batiste in Eve’s Bayou. Ten years later, in 2007, it was worn by Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway in Mad Men. In 2020 it was seen on Jurnee Smollett as Letitia “Leti” Lewis in Lovecraft Country.

Interestingly enough, according to The Costume Designer’s Guild Instagram, Jurnee Smollet, who played Lynn Whitfield’s daughter in Eve’s Bayou, recognized its reuse when the costumer Dayna Pink selected it for her to wear in Lovecraft Country.

Pink says, “When I pulled the piece I had no idea what it was, and we were planning on trying it for inspiration, but we fell in love with it. Jurnee was the one who figured out [where it was from], and we were all floored by the amazing coincidence that it had come full circle. It reminds us that we hold pieces of history when we pull these clothes. They have each had a life and a journey, and we are keeping their stories alive!”
