If you're still looking for some costume inspiration for Halloween, then maybe these cool looks from Starz TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman's best-selling 2001 American Gods book will provide some ideas. In the supernatural drama an ex-con gets draw into a fantastical holy war between old and new gods, like 'Bilquis' the 'Queen of Sheba' an old goddess of love (played by Yetide Badaki), 'Technical Boy' the new god of technology (Bruce Langley), 'Mr. Nancy' the old Ghanian trickster god 'Anansi' now working as a tailor (Orlando Jones) and Gillian Anderson's new goddess 'Media', who channels famous celebrities like David Bowie as the mouthpiece of the New Gods. There are also characters like Emily Browning's Irish 'Essie MacGowan' who believes in mythical creatures like leprechauns.
Suttirat Anne Larlarb is Series Costume Designer on American Gods first season, with Assistant Costume Designers Laura Montgomery, Brenda Broer, Sabrina Zain, Anita Bacic and Costume Supervisor Quita Alfred.
This cool selection of fantastical costumes, plus cufflinks and rings worn the characters, were photographed on display at Downtown L.A.'s FIDM Museum on August 23, 2017, as part of the 11th Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design exhibition.
