viral photos of Oscar Isaac<\/a> on the set of Scenes from a Marriage in 2021? That was Bellizzi. This year proved to be a major milestone for her, though: She was nominated for her first Oscar for her work on Marty Supreme, and though she didn\u2019t take home the trophy, she was one of the best-dressed nominees in attendance, wearing a vintage look from Christian Dior\u2019s spring-summer 1999 show and custom Pandora jewelry. Below, she talks to The Cut about what inspires her style and where she looks for inspiration.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re calling hours after the Oscars. What was it like to be in that room? Were you nervous?<\/p>\n
We had the BAFTAs a few weeks ago, which was nice, because I had something to go off of where I knew a little bit what to expect. But the Academy is on a different level. It\u2019s like turning it up 30 notches. I was so nervous, but once you get there, you\u2019re like, Okay, I\u2019m fine. It did feel a bit surreal because you grow up watching it on TV, and this is the first time I\u2019ve been there in person. The best part, and maybe most girls feel this way, was getting ready. I got ready with Odessa A\u2019zion before, and that was really special, because she and I got really close on the film. It\u2019s tough when you\u2019re at these events. You\u2019re seeing all these people, saying \u201chi,\u201d but it\u2019s nice to have a minute with someone you care about before.<\/p>\n
Tell me about your look.<\/p>\n
\u200bI was on the fence about what to wear. I\u2019m such a vintage girl, so I was like, Either I wear vintage or wear a young designer. I saw the dress posted months ago, before all of this. I remember sending it to my friends, like, \u201cThis is my dream dress,\u201d but it was so expensive and then I forgot about it. Months later, I was like, I\u2019m just gonna try it on. And then I put it on, and it was one of those magical moments where I was like, Fuck, it\u2019s perfect. What am I going to do now? For me, the dress and the jewelry go hand in hand. I have a lot of piercings, and accessories are very important to me. It feels like part of me \u2014 it\u2019s like an armor or something \u2014 and it was really incredible to work with Pandora on this because it felt like me but elevated. You just have to follow your intuition, and that\u2019s kind of even when dressing characters in film. It\u2019s that gut feeling of what intuitively feels right.<\/p>\n
What originally inspired you to become a costume designer?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s funny, because I never really aspired to be a costume designer. I just kind of did it. I was styling a lot, but I never really felt connected to doing fashion shoots in the same way that I feel connected to characters in film. As soon as I started working in film, it was the most informative, incredible experience I\u2019ve ever had. I feel like the universe sometimes has plans for you, and you just have to go again with that gut feeling, like, I like where this is going. I\u2019m going to keep doing it because I enjoy it. It was about doing something I enjoyed and realizing I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n
Is there someone who has served as a muse for your work? <\/p>\n
It varies with every project, and it also depends on the character. I\u2019ve always prided myself on menswear and working with guys. Odessa and Gwyneth on Marty Supreme were my muses just as much as Marty, and they were all so different.<\/p>\n
\u200bHow do you put your signature on costume design?<\/p>\n
\u200bThere is some sort of, like, Miyako thing, and I can\u2019t really pinpoint it, but people are always telling me about it. Maybe it\u2019s the combination of details and silhouettes, but it\u2019s subconscious. I know what\u2019s going on in the world, and I have this cultural Zeitgeist of what is going on in the world, and I pride myself on studying people. I\u2019m not a traditional costume designer \u2014 my approach is very different. My work is deeply rooted in reality.<\/p>\n
Is there a place you go to get inspired or creatively rejuvenated?<\/p>\n
My No. 1, which is why I\u2019ll never move away from New York, is New York. I love the people of New York City, and I think there\u2019s something really special with the energy of the city that I feel really connected to; it grounds me. I\u2019m such a midtown girl. It\u2019s my new favorite place. I love the people. That\u2019s the real New York to me. It\u2019s my favorite place to people watch. It\u2019s where people come to commute; that\u2019s where people need to be. Then there are tourists, so there\u2019s like this combination, but there\u2019s real life, real people. Lower Manhattan is a fake world. It\u2019s like everyone pretending to be fashion people, and that\u2019s not what inspires me. What inspires me is real people who have interesting faces and cool styles. My dream is to be walking through midtown.<\/p>\n
\ufeffWhat do you do when you\u2019re in a creative rut?
\u200b
I take myself on a date once a week, and it has to be alone. I like to go to a museum or look at art, see a film, or go to a bookstore. Do something for yourself that you enjoy that will help you remember and appreciate art. When you\u2019re creatively down in your spirit, you have to do those things to remember why you\u2019re here.<\/p>\n
