She has no idea that Nick comes from an unspeakable amount of wealth.
That movie was very influential on this film because of the colors.
On Chus advice, Vogt also reached out to Kwan to further understand the background of the Young family.
They are really old money, Vogt says.
Peik Lin Gohs family are new money.
They just made their money and are really enjoying [it].
Theyre just flinging it around, wanting to show it [off].
The Young family is used to having money, and they are quiet about it.
They dress in a more elegant way.
Their house looks more like a museum, and its all very understated.
Ahead, Vogt breaks down eight of the films key looks.
That was a Valentino dress that we bought in Kuala Lumpur, Vogt says.
Its very suited to Eleanors character.
It had a cape in the back that gave it a regal look.
Eleanor floats in the imperial frock with authority as she courteously engages with Rachel and directs the events staff.
Michelle didnt want to be really stern and stiff, Vogt adds.
She wanted to show that she cared about her family and she was protecting her son.
So for her entire wardrobe, Vogt blended ease with architectural structure, and tradition with simplicity.
Like that burgundy gown, she explains.
The design is very vertical, straight to the ground with the straight-across neckline.
But its a very soft, silk chiffon fabric.
It [flows].
Im not sure what the stones were in that brooch.
But they were real.
We had to have guards for the jewelry.
Vogt explains that director Chu wanted aCinderella-like moment for Rachel.
I looked at a lot of pictures of Constance.
I kept going back to light blue.
In the end, it was Wu who brought the full-skirted Marchesa dress with fabric rosettes to the table.
What I like about that dress is that its light blue and white too.
Its like an ombre.
Its very light and airy, and it looks like a cloud, Vogt says.
Most couture houses will lend [dresses] only for a couple days, because they are booked.
They have other appointments all over the world.
Vogt also purposely contrasted Rachels garment with Eleanors: an intricately beaded Elie Saab dress with a matching coat.
But Eleanors dress was much more structured.
It had a stiff neck that had embroidered flowers in blue on it.
Rachels dress is more ethereal.
The dress and the glasses were both Christian Dior, explains Vogt.
[Gemma] is like someone from another planet, shes just so elegant.
She doesnt even think theres anything special about her.
Shes just such a down-to-earth person but has this amazing ethereal quality.
[The Dior dress] is four or five inches below the knee.
She just walks so beautifully [in it], and that full-ish skirt really showed her off.
It was the first time we see her, so it really tells you who she is.
Peik Lin Goh (Nora Lum a.k.a.
Awkwafina)
What great rom-com is complete without a quirky female sidekick?
InCrazy Rich Asians, Awkwafina does the honors as Peik Lin Goh.
[That set is by] Stella McCartney, Vogt says with a chuckle.
Noras got an amazing, giant personality, Vogt says.
Shes just like the sun and very witty herself.
It just made sense that she would have these clothes that represent her.
I thought, This is a great opportunity.
We dont have anyone in the film like her.
Vogt recalls that director Chu wanted her to have different hair color in every scene.
But then the hairstylist gave her the blonde wig and everyone just fell in love with it.
She looked like a little doll.
I would love to have a Peik Lin doll.
The centerpiece garment for the wedding of the decade was designed by Vogt herself.
The wedding dress is actually a sheer jumpsuit with thousands of Swarovski crystals on it.
Then, the skirt is on top of it, Vogt explains.
It really has a little bit of a dancer feel to it.
Oh my gosh, says Vogt.
Everything about him is just perfect.
Jon really wanted aGreat Gatsbylook.
Hes like, I want it to be like Gatsby coming out of the mansion.
So obviously, [we went for] a white linen suit.
You cant get more Gatsby than that.
Vogt used a tailor shop in Kuala Lumpur called Wardrobe, which has been custom-making clothes since the 1920s.
They custom made three of his suits, she continues.
It was really a beautiful cut.
Because Dolce makes very strong shoulders and very small waists, which is what [Golding] looks like.
Hes got a very athletic build.
It is actually from Max Mara of all places.
It was Max Mara in Singapore it may be something that they just made for the Singapore market.
I thought it was so beautiful because it had a modern feel to it.
And it also had the Asian embroider, [with] the flower design.
It was something she would wear, because she was more traditional than anyone else.
[Michelle] lent us that brooch and it was all little diamonds.
It was absolutely gorgeous.
It is Versace, says Vogt.
We thought that Versace look went [well] with the house and all the gold and pattern.
I had a fitting with him, and he is just so much fun.
At first I said, Well, I wonder.
I hope this isnt too broad for him.
But, he was like, No, no!
I can work with this!
Luckily, hes a comedian.
He has a real sense of humor, so he really enjoyed it.
