To all of those kittens who have bemoaned the samey-sameness and luxury goods modeling that passes for modern celebrity style, we offer you a little challenge. Miss Vicki Krieps is not here to be normal and she understands that the occasion of a premiere of an Ed Gein bio-series probably doesn’t call for elegant branding. No, it calls for this:

Personally, we can’t say we find the ensemble, with or without the coat, all that pretty, but that’s largely because the colors are so harsh. The design, however, is lovely and flatters her. It really all comes down to whether you think the colors and the use of various textiles actually work to produce a fashionable moment. We like it, but we’re not sure if that’s due to the inherent quality of the ensemble or if we’re just responding to the boldness of it. Or maybe because it reminds us so much of ’90s red carpet style, back when things were a little riskier and more expressive. Let’s hear your take.

ABOUT THE SERIES:
Serial killer. Grave robber. Psycho. In the frozen fields of 1950s rural Wisconsin, a friendly, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein lived quietly on a decaying farm – hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare. Driven by isolation, psychosis, and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein’s perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades. From Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein’s macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn’t just influence a genre — he became the blueprint for modern horror.

Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s groundbreaking anthology series returns with its third, most harrowing installment yet. Monster: The Ed Gein Story tells the story of how one simple man in Plainfield, Wisconsin became history’s most singular ghoul. He revealed to the world the most horrific truth of all — that monsters aren’t born, they’re made…by us.
