Behind the scenes with the costume designers of UncutGems, MisterMort and Miyako Bellizzi.
Back in September, paparazzi images of Adam Sandler surfaced. His look was a far cry from his usual overgrown dude-bro outfits of basketball shorts and baggy T-shirts. Instead, he was wearing a mustard-hued shirt with a black collar, a worn-in, slightly oversized leather jacket, and large dress pants that were hiked up just below his gut; his accessories included rimless glasses with lenses the size of teaspoons, a lone diamond earring, and a gold Star of David pinkie ring.
Howard’s genius wardrobe was created by costume designer and stylist Miyako Bellizzi, along with consultant and fashion mensch Mordechai Rubinstein. The two spent months researching what Howard would wear, hunkering down in the diamond district, interviewing dealers and visiting their homes to view their closets. According to Bellizzi, Howard’s character is a composite of three of these dealers.
While Howard doesn’t have the same suited-and-booted appeal as Jacob the Jeweler, he has his own ways of showing off his hard-earned moolah. The most important staple of the film is his Hugo Boss leather jacket, a piece that he wears for most of the film’s running time. “We found a few on eBay. It had to be the right one. It had to be worn in, it had to be oversized, we wanted it to be that he had for 10 or 20 years: he’s gained weight; he’s lost weight.
