New Girl Costume Designer: All the Details on CeCe’s Wedding Dress

Congratulations, CeCe! Hannah Simone’s character got hitched on last night’s second season finale of New Girl, which meant costume designer Deb McGuire had to make the clothes look and feel authentic for a traditional Indian wedding. To do so, she purchased a lehenga, a traditional Indian wedding gown, in the Little India section of Los Angeles, Artesia, one of her go-to spots for two decades. “When I heard we were doing an Indian wedding for our final episode I planned a shopping day with my crew, including lunch at my favorite Indian vegetarian restaurant,” McGuire told us. “The red wedding sari that Cece wears was the first of four that we picked out. When she put it on, it took our breath away. We didn’t even attempt to consider the others!” The challenge was picking an equally beautiful sari for Jess (Zooey Deschanel) to make sure she stood out among the other guests clad in jewel-tone looks. “The blue trimmed in pink was perfection, especially because I could envision it looking smashing against the orange decor,” McGuire said. “The visual, indeed, made  me gasp with delight. Color is powerful!” To learn more about Zooey Deschanel’s New Girl fashion, visit possessionista.com.

Costume Designer Insider: How Jess Day’s Prom Dress on New Girl Was Made

May 3, 2013 @ 9:30 am

Aw, Jess! We couldn’t help but smile when we saw Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel) in this week’s prom flashback episode of New Girl  wearing a confection with a triple threat of fabrics—tulle, rosettes, and sequins. Costume designer Deb McGuire told InStyle.com this throwback was supposed to garner just that kind of reaction. “What could be more wonderful than to think of what a Jess prom dress might have been?” McGuire said. Calling her inspiration “Snow White on acid,” McGuire customized a turquoise dress by draping it with layers of tulle. Then, she topped it with flowers and birds to add “pure whimsy.” How perfectly Jess! Find out what else Deschanel wore on Possessionista.com.

Found It via Possessionista.com! Jess’s “Classy and Cute” Kate Spade Dress

Mar 27, 2013 @ 12:00 pm

Last night on New Girl, our April cover girl Zooey Deschanel wore this super chic dress to accompany her roommate (and love interest) Nick to his father’s funeral. And we found it! “This scene with Schmidt needed something cute and classy,” said costume designer Deb McGuire of the Kate Spade New York frock. “The rhinestone collar on the Kate Spade dress was too much for the scene so I replaced it with a nude colored collar and grosgrain ribbon belt. It worked!” Jess’s dress is currently sold out onlinebut we found a similar style by the brand, available for $448 on nordstrom.com. Find out what else Deschanel wore on Possessionista.com.
