One of the most spectacular costumes in PRISCILLA is the Swarovski-studded body suit and headdress Felicia wears during the “bus top aria.” Award-winning design team Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner revealed that although the suit reads as pure silver, the shadows and body definition were created using violet, deep blue and hematite. So get out your glue gun and get to a Swarovski shop – you may not make it on top of a bus like PRISCILLA’s Nick Adams, but you’re sure to stop traffic in this dazzling costume!
