Production designer Tony Burrough and costume designer Caroline Harris conceived a color palette that subtly becomes richer as William's fortunes grow. Harris' period costumes, most particularly the gowns Shannyn Sossamon wears as the noble Jocelyn, would today inspire envy on both Rodeo Drive and Melrose Avenue.
Sossamon's elaborate costumes include an off-white bell-shaped coat cut from handmade felt and hand-embroidered with Jocelyn's heraldry in gold thread, gold bullion and hand-painted pearls; a handcrafted period hat with a straw crown and a brim edged in gold thread; and a century-old yellow embroidered Chinese silk dress, among others. The fashions embody the hip, modern edge of this timeless tale of ambition, unbreakable drive and the invincible spirit of youth.
In developing a look for the male band of medieval misfits, "Brian and I were inspired a great deal by the look of the Rolling Stones on their 1972 tour," explains Harris.
