Phoebe Bridgers | Behind The Looks | Who What Wear

Hey Who What Wear! I'm Phoebe Bridgers and I'm gonna take you Behind the Looks

So, Motion Sickness was more of a costume because it's a character

I thought it was funny for an androgynous person to dress up a lot to go sing karaoke in a dive bar and who only rode a scooter and wore a helmet

I had the concept for that video way before I wrote the song. I mean, not even slightly. I'm going through a lot of the same places as Elliot's Miss Misery video, so it's referencing that, too

He wears a white suit. I love Phoebe Waller it was awesome working with her for the music video We got in an argument about whether or not I was going to wear a skeleton costume for that video I ended up going with her instinct and I so glad because it looks really cool in black and white

Nobody can tell but that turtleneck that I'm wearing at the end is actually like a bright red turtleneck

and I'm usually so allergic to colors so she was like, dude, it's in black and white

Like it's gonna look black. You're fine. Phoebe and the stylist Aoife, before I got there, had collected all these different costumes

different costumes so I picked, we picked our favorite bellhop and then they gave me the woman tag

I was kind of just along for the ride but it was really fun to be dressed by people you trust

I've always loved blondes in gray. I think it just is such a weird look. I was at St. Vincent

DePaul which is a thrift store here I found the suit for like 10 bucks and then I spent like a

hundred dollars tailoring it and I feel like that's my my like new secret with buying clothes

it just it doesn really matter what it is if you like it somebody talented can fit it to your body so now I have tons of suits that I got for really cheap that I just tailor to me We had to do the tiny desk from home so we had to come up with a concept that was funny or interesting And I thought the Oval Office was the coolest

We actually tried to get, like, a real Oval Office because it's Los Angeles, but everything was shut down

Like, there were no sets that would allow us in, so we had to green screen. But I knew exactly what I'd wear for that because I feel like I have, like, a slightly Hillary Clinton vibe in it

My friend Olaf is an insanely talented photographer and musician. He's from Sweden

He came to town and he took me into the desert. He found this cool place like a couple hours away

I drove us out. It was just for fun. Like we didn't even know what we'd use them for

And then we saw this one photo of the crazy mountains behind me and rock formations

I was wearing like a white dress and I remember thinking I wish there was something kind of more interesting about this

I had been a skeleton for Halloween that year with my band, and so we repeated the whole photo shoot

in the skeleton costume. I made us drive out again and yeah and then we saw it and we like that definitely the cover We literally drove there at like 4 o in the morning so I was pretty delusional How many skeleton costumes do I have

As far as like different skeleton costumes, I probably have like 10 at this point

Once again, Phoebe Bridgers. There's this designer, Amber Doyle, out of New York

and when I was supposed to go on tour at the beginning of the year of last year. She was going to make these immaculate suits for everybody

They weren't even going to be skeleton suits. They were just going to be kind of sparkly and matching for the band

When I found out I was playing Cyber Night Live, I was like, we should do some epic skeleton costumes

So she's made a bunch of way more souped up skeleton costumes

and they're reflective material so that when lights shine on them, they look really cool

And then Gucci made a beautiful gown with ribs on it that I'm very excited about

I'm never taking it off
