Selena Gomez's Mabel Mora says it herself in Season 5 Episode 3 of Only Murders In the Building: "I'm in a really good spot right now." The same could be said of the podcaster-turned-detective's closet, which delivered a plot twist of its own following last season's finale.
If you've watched the Emmy-winning series since 2021, you likely associate Mabel's outfits with brightly-colored coats, chunky boots, and prints aplenty. Season 5 opens up on a hardly-recognizable Mabel in all-black attire, instantly evoking brow-furrowing expressions from O.G. fans. Yes, she's mourning the mysterious loss of the Arconia's doorman, Lester. Even so, it marks a minimalist shift for the character. Costume designer Dana Covarrubias says it was a "conscious" one.
