Been watching Frankenstein – three sittings, long. But what a beauty. I’d expect nothing less of Guillermo Del Toro, of course, but costume designer Kate Hawley truly has my life-long loyalty.

Mia Goth wears an enthralling array of butterfly-wing, beetle-shell, mossy, mouldy colours and textures. I looked into her green marbled jacket and it is indeed marbled velvet, inspired both by the damp of Frankenstein’s tower and the end papers of Elizabeth’s books. Every look is a glorious reflection of her own fascinations: she’s a scientist in her own right and loves insects above all.

Now, I’m a woman with a simple aesthetic, and it is: the greenest green you’ve ever seen. I often say my favourite colour is green velvet because that’s the best purveyor of green’s qualities. The sheen of green. How often am I telling people my favourite colour as a 36-year-old woman? Astoundingly often.

Elizabeth’s colour palette is perfection throughout. Muted brights – carmine, peacock, chartreuse, violet – have captained my brain for as long as I can remember and they feel like ecstasy to me.

I gasped, ‘Oh! The green jacket!’ and Phil replied, ‘Probably kill you though’. This is because I am so obsessed with green that I have often talked about Scheele, inventor of the gloriously toxic copper arsenite that killed people who also liked green in the 18th and 19th centuries. Don’t lick green wallpaper.
