She has two key props in her Cesario look that are important to the play – the sword and the money purse. She grabs some manly pants and a cap (to hide her hair – because every woman who dresses as a man in Shakespeare can magically fool people just by hiding her hair). Then, when she changes into her identity to Cesario, she has to don a more masculine look. Hopefully, that map might give her a little insight as to where on earth Illyria is!
So, for that change, she’d need an outfit switch! For Viola’s feminine outfit we gave her a suitcase and a map, since she was traveling overseas. So, she pulls the classic Shakespeare woman runaway move (see Rosalind, Julia, and Imogen): she dresses up like a guy and changes her name to Cesario.
She believes she is the only survivor of the crash, and so she is forced to try to make a life for herself in this new environment.īut, of course, in those times, it wasn’t safe for a girl to try to fend for herself alone. Okay, yeah, this moodboard technically shows off two looks for the same character – but the rest of the characters in the show don’t know that until the end! In Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night, Viola is shipwrecked near a city called Illyria. Scroll through the four moodboards below to pick out which character’s outfit matches your aesthetic! Viola and Cesario, Twelfth Night These could be costumes for a stage production or just fun ways to picture the characters while reading – but, in any case, the outfits are true to the characters despite their modern look. So, we thought, why not take those aesthetic moodboards and create some outfits for modern-day versions of Shakespeare characters?
