Go behind the scenes of Elle Fanning’s uncanny makeover to play Michelle Carter in TheGirlFromPlainville.
The series’ costume designer, Mirren Gordon-Crozier, shares an exclusive look at the actress’s true-crime transformation.Elle Fanning with Colton Ryan on the set of ‘The Girl From Plainville.’ Photographs throughout by Mirren Gordon-Crozier.Michelle Carter, played by Elle Fanning, is seen mourning the death of her boyfriend, Conrad “Coco” Roy III. She sobs inconsolably, her body heaving while she cries. Two friends attempt to calm her, but it’s no use—she can’t stop convulsing with emotion.
“Michelle Carter and Coco Roy met in Florida in 2012 whilst visiting family members,” the costume designer says. “Michelle has a massive evolution throughout the series as she struggles with not only the case against her, but also with a severe eating disorder.

After hours upon hours of scrolling through the Internet, I finally found it on Poshmark late at night. The best part about finding this shirt is it allowed me to understand the character more based on what brand it was .
