Design Ideas For High School Musical 3

My friend Nikki over at Celeb Look recently had the opportunity to interview Caroline B. Marx, the costume designer for High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

Caroline talked about the ideas and concepts for the different costumes used in the movie, including a few for Zac Efron’s character, Troy Bolton, and Vanessa Hudgens’ character, Gabriella Montez.

About the guys’ prom attire, she says:

“Zac’s colors matched, very classic and clean. Very fitted with the skinny tie, which is really kind of cool.”

About her inspiration and thoughts for Zac’s character’s look, Caroline says:

Troy (Zac Efron) – “A James Dean/Young Elvis look, with a color palate of mostly blue and gray tones. Troy wears primarily slim-cut Diesel denim jeans and James Perse classic tees with Converse high-top sneakers or low-top Vans.”

For Vanessa Hudgens’ character, Gabriella Montez, Caroline’s thoughts were:

Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgen) – “A very innocent, girl-next-door feel. She starts in her quintessential white, blue, green and yellow floral dresses, sometimes with little cardigans. As time passes in the film, she becomes more self- aware and begins to take on a more ‘boho’ style of dress. In the film, Hudgens wears clothes by American Eagle, Free People, Velvet, Miss Sixty, and Dutch designer Tony Cohen.”
