WHAT’S NEXT FOR VILLANELLE’S WARDROBE?

The next series of Killing Eve hasn’t yet hit BBC iplayer, but excitement about the clothes is already building. After the first turned Molly Goddard’s tulle dress into an internet sensation – and the second included outfits from Rosie Assoulin, Alexander Mcqueen and Chloé – it’s no wonder that anticipation for what Villanelle might wear next is at an all-time high.

One impactful shot of Jodie Comer on set has surfaced – and what she’s wearing is typical of Villanelle’s rule-bending approach to getting dressed. The jacket in question – a cropped, checked and fuzz-covered design in a punchy shade of green – is by Charlotte Knowles. The duo behind the London-based brand, Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault, were stunned when they saw the photo. ‘We had no idea,’ says Charlotte, who suspects that Killing Eve’s costume designer must have bought the jacket from Dover Street Market. ‘We were freaking out,’ admits Alex, who appreciates how much Villanelle chimes with the Charlotte Knowles aesethetic. ‘She is basically our woman,’ he says, ‘because she’s so dangerous and controls every situation.’

The jacket doesn’t exactly hint at what’s going to happen to Villanelle – except that she’s definitely not going incognito – but it does signal a return to form for TV’S most stylish assassin. ‘We want [our woman] to look so dangerous that she almost becomes this animal that you don’t want to approach,’ says Alex. Mission accomplished.
