Lately, it seems no one can get enough of Joanne's wardrobe from the Netflix series Nobody Wants This. Played by actor Kristen Bell, Joanne is a Los Angeles sex podcaster who finds herself swooning over the unlikeliest of men: a "hot rabbi" named Noah, played valiantly by The O.C. veteran Adam Brody. The series is a tale of two people coming together later in life with careers and stable identities of their own, but it's also a story of two worlds colliding to dramatic effect.
Nobody Wants This takes inspiration from series creator Erin Foster’s conversion experience after falling in love with her now-husband Simon Tikhman. And early on, costume designer Negar Ali Kline decided the color palette for Joanne and her family members would be a mix of "poppy colors and pastels" to contrast the rich jewel tones that Noah and his family seem to favor. That was done intentionally, Kline explains, to make a distinction between their two worlds. (As their lives begin to intertwine in later episodes, however, you'll notice Noah wearing brighter colors.)
