Season 3 features vibrant party scenes in Bangkok

In a recent episode of HBO's "The White Lotus," viewers were taken inside a monastery with characters Piper and Lochlan Ratliff. This scene showcased their journey away from family troubles through meditation. Costume designer Alex Bovaird faced unique challenges dressing actors as monks, as they wore sacred orange robes that could only be handled in specific ways. Meanwhile, other characters like Chloe, Chelsea, and Saxon recapped their wild yacht party. Bovaird loves creating outfits for party scenes, where she aims to depict a glamorous atmosphere. She noted that unlike real life, where people might wear casual clothes, the show enhances the energy with stylish garments. Preparing for these scenes requires significant effort, especially when dressing extras. Bovaird explained that a lot of pre-fitting occurs to ensure everyone looks great, which helps the main cast feel immersed in their characters. Looking ahead, Bovaird hinted at an exciting upcoming party scene in Bangkok featuring standout outfits. She also mentioned a scene at a strip club, noting the fun yet tricky task of choosing the right clothing. Bovaird believes that costumes play a vital role in storytelling, making the visuals more engaging. She feels honored to contribute to the show and be part of its cultural impact. "The White Lotus" airs Sundays and is available for streaming on Max.
