Plus, costume designer Emma Fryer breaks down Nicholas Hoult's royal 'rock 'n' roll' leopard prints and pearls.
Last October — or a lifetime ago — Showtime's "Catherine the Great" explored the height of the Empress of Russia's reign, as portrayed by Helen Mirren, in period-authentic, 18th century imperial dress. Now, "The Great" depicts a very different, but also quite steamy, imagining of the powerful monarch's rise, this time played by Elle Fanning.
In the premiere, an optimistic, rosy-cheeked Catherine arrives from her native Prussia to marry Emperor Peter, a petty, uncultured and overly-indulged dilettante . "When she first comes to this palace, she's this idealist young girl arriving in Russia for an arranged marriage and she has all these hopes," says Fryer. "She's quite whimsical at the beginning."
"When she meets Leo — when she's given Leo — the color palette changes," says Fryer. As the young Empress warms to the idea of a sanctioned side-piece, she and anatomically-gifted Leo begin dressing in similar tones of greens and yellows , as couples tend to do. Fryer maintained 18th century silhouettes on Peter, but heightened his look with a mixture of "animalistic" prints and 21st century textures and fabrics.
