Baby Billy’s Oyster Shell
“There’ll Come a PayDay” The Righteous Gemstones season 3
The best outcomes happen through experimentation and collaboration. The designer was so trusting with her vision - what started as a Liberace-inspired cape morphed into a sculpted, light-as air oyster shell that floats magically from the actor’s back, framing his torso in an iridescent halo that bobs and sways with the melody.
”But Baby Billy's oyster costume - I mean, come on. That's going to be one of my favorite costumes. I'm like, ‘Bury me in the oyster shell and we are good to go.’” - Christina Flannery, costume designer, Screen Rant
“I have to give a big shout-out to Kelly Rose, who brought this shell to life. [ . . .] I love this costume. It’s one of my favorite costumes I’ve ever designed in general, and it’s going to be hard to top this for myself.” - Christina Flannery, The Art of Costume
