Miyako Bellizzi has been the stealth mastermind behind some of Hollywood’s most recent memorable looks—from Robert Pattinson’s Marc Ecko sweatshirts in Good Time to Adam Sandler’s leather blazer in Uncut Gems. The New York-based costume designer has had a long, fruitful creative collaboration with filmmakers and brothers Benny and Josh Safdie over the years, but broke out on her own with HBO’s remake of the 1973 Ingmar Bergman miniseries Scenes from a Marriage. Following the marriage of Jonathan (Oscar Isaac) and Mira (Jessica Chastain), Bellizzi’s work put Isaac into another category of hot daddy fodder: philosophy professor with tiny glasses, sumptuous knits, and New Balance sneakers (in a hot way).
Since then, Bellizzi has become one of the industry’s most sought-after costume designers. This year alone, she crafted the glamorous, South of France summering ensembles in Bonjour Tristesse and the three-piece suits of The History of Sound. She’s closing out the year with another collaboration with Josh Safdie, on his solo directorial debut, Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet as the titular Marty—a tornado of a young man in the 1950s determined to make his dreams of playing ping-pong professionally happen, no matter the cost.
