Tony Caraveo “Musidorus”

Musidorus’ design takes inspiration from a mix between a rustic shepherd and a 70’s hippie. He wears neutral tones befitting his station, with ripped skinny jeans and a studded belt to modernize him. He embodies rustic romanticism with his open peasant shirt and fringe vest.

Tony Caraveo “Cleophila”

In an attempt to win over Princess Philoclea, Musidorus transforms into the Amazonian Warrior ‘Cleophila’. Cleophila takes inspiration from the leather and silver armor of the Amazon with a fitted breastplate overtop a padded bra to convince the princess’ family and a classic paneled skirt. The ensemble is fitted with a large velcro opening in the back for his twenty-second quick change, the fastest in the show.

Carolyn Scherbinske “Mopsa”

The faithful handmaiden of Princess Pamela and daughter of the king’s advisor, Mopsa takes inspiration from the music of the show and the punk aesthetic of the all-girl rock group. She wears a red utilikilt and grey tank, inspired by silhouettes of modern queer women. She is outfitted with two appliques, a broken heart across her chest and a spiral snake on her back, an allusion to her true parentage which is revealed in the finale.

Levi Redmill “Dametas”

Right hand to the king, Dametas takes on a hopeless romantic aesthetic with his soft blue shirt and red silk scarf. An ‘aging Romeo’, Dametas longs for his ex-wife Mira and troubles over his growing daughter, Mopsa. Of course, he is not immune to the punk aesthetics of the show and underneath his open doublet sports striking leather pants and tall black boots.

Rachael Spencer “Philoclea”

Philoclea is a princess of Arcadia, considered plain next to her sister Pamela. Philoclea’s secret admiration for shepherd Musidorus is expressed in her flower crown and soft green silk of her gown. She wears a classic ‘Juliet’ silhouette, her gold trim and purple accents alluding to her royal status. She stands in contrast to her corseted mother and sister with her loose flowing skirts and soft gradient.

Tony Caraveo “Golden Stag”

After rising from the dead - sorry spoilers - Cleophila returns on the back of a golden stag. Their look is a combination of the Greek/Amazonian aesthetic with a golden chiton and himation, but with Musidorus’ hair and androgynous silhouette. This final look is Musidorus embracing both his masculine and feminine appearances and merging them into one identity that knows no gender.
