Broadway just got a major style upgrade thanks to designer Christian Cowan, who is shaking things up with his costumes for the new musical, Queen of Versailles. Opening on November 9, this much-awaited show promises not just dramatic performances, but also some of the most over-the-top outfits Broadway has ever seen.
Y2K Meets Rococo: A Costume Explosion
Cowan’s creative vision merges Y2K glitz with Rococo extravagance, delivering a visual feast that’s just as wild as the story itself. Think bold colors, outrageous silhouettes, and enough sparkle to make the audience reach for their sunglasses. If you thought Broadway costumes had peaked, think again. Christian Cowan is here to prove that more is definitely more.
Why We’re Obsessed
The show’s costumes aren’t just outfits—they’re a personality. Each design adds to the musical’s playful, campy vibe, making every scene a fashion moment. Whether you’re a theater lover or a fashion aficionado, you’ll want to see how Cowan reimagines Broadway glam. It’s a mashup you never knew you needed, but now absolutely can’t live without.
Honestly, the only thing missing is a disco ball in the audience. But with these costumes, who needs one?
