john dee pajamas
In the Netflix adaptation, John Dee (David Thewlis) wears a black jacket, blue-and-white striped pajamas, and slippers. This is a huge difference from the comics as he’s completely naked except for his jacket, which is left bare most of the time.
This is a very effective change from the comics. In addition to being less distracting than when John was semi-naked, he’s dressed more casually in a way that makes him even more intimidating. His plaid pajamas, jacket, and slippers look incredibly humble and innocent, making everyone even more shocked when he does anything sinister — as in “24/7”.
Jed’s superhero costume
In a dream that Gott (Ann Ogbomer) created for Jed (Eddie Karanja), fleeing an abusive home life, he becomes the superhero Sandman, wearing a yellow and red Superhero suit. This has a complicated relationship with the original sand Man Graphic novel, but works well in the new setting of the show.

Jed’s new setting wearing a Sandman cape and superhero suit allows him to gain powers while being abused. This change shows that Gott wants to help Jed feel like the hero of his own story.
lust catsuit
In the scene where Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) confronts Desire (Mason Alexander Parker) cowboy bebop), they wear tight black jumpsuits with deep necklines, low tails, large feather collars, and black cat ears. It is directly related to the original graphic novel, in which Lust wears an almost identical suit in the intro.
While the pajamas in the Netflix series are very similar to those in the graphic novels, the main difference is that the one Alexander Parker is wearing is much more impressive. The comic book outfit has a smaller collar and doesn’t have the deep V-neckline like the Netflix version. The overly flashy nature of Netflix clothing emphasizes Lust’s hedonistic lifestyle and lustful personality. The cat ears look almost like devil’s horns, befitting their villainous roles in the first season.
Barbie Princess Dress Dress
Although there are only a few brief scenes on screen this season, Princess Barbie’s dress (her alternate self in the land of dreams) is very close to the one she wore in a short time in the movie. doll house and more often in your game.

They also wear veils, but the veils are black instead of white as in the graphic novels. This color swap is very reminiscent of Zelda and the many spiders Chantal has collected. This is also related to their ambiguous relationship. No one in the inn knew if they were sisters, mother and son, or lovers.
charming corinth
Corinth (LoganBoyd Holbrook on Netflix is a bit more formal than his graphic novel version. However, both prefer white and/or beige clothes.
In graphic novels, he can be more casual (like wearing a muscle shirt and jeans to a cereal conference), while Corinthians in the Netflix series is always dressed up and well-dressed. This brings out his charming side and makes him seem more believable. The cream and off-white he wears are also in stark contrast to the black-clad Morpheus, who is more contemplative but also in tune with kindness.

Lucifer’s Red Cloak
Lucifer (Gwendolyn Christie) has some very regal outfits with solid colors. One of their most notable pieces is the red satin cape they wore at the end of season one when planning their revenge on the Murphys.
Lucifer in the graphic novel was heavily inspired by David Bowie (visually at least). The Netflix series, while visually distinct, pays homage to Lucifer in the graphic novel through Christie’s seductive and androgynous costumes. The Red Cloak, Lucifer’s final outfit in season one, featured a vibrant hellish red, making their declaration of vengeance against Morpheus all the more powerful.

The overcoat is also a visual reference to her graphic novel counterpart, John Constantine, while remaining more specific to her avatar and looking rougher – befitting the working status. for her royal family.
Johanna’s light coat creates a strong visual contrast between her and Morpheus, who is always dressed in black. The finer silhouette she wears here contrasts with memories of Newcastle, early in her mystery detective career, where she looked less serious and more casual.
Madame Johanna Constantine I .’s gown and dress
Although Johanna Constantine only appeared a few times this season the sound of her wingsShe appeared majestically in a gorgeous hooded gown and red and white embroidered noble dress.

Lady Johanna wore a cloak that made her look mysterious and dangerous, befitting a seasoned adventurer and member of the nobility like her.
