SERENE IN McQUEEN

LOST in thought on holiday in Amsterdam with ( spoiler alert) Konstantin, the minder Villanelle left for dead in series one after being ordered to kill him, the assassin is again dressed in her designer best.

When off duty from her murderous profession, ‘it’s important she wears luxury’, Mitchell says.

‘She’s like a magpie — she collects beautiful things. This is my favourite outfit. I think it looks fantastic in the setting. I wanted her to “pop out” on that bridge.’ Her McQueen fuchsia jacket is paired with floral trousers by Italian brand Etro.

Here, Vi l l a n e l l e cheekily treats her former handler as her father, which ‘really winds Konstantin up’, says Mitchell.
