Judging from the wave of collabs that have already dropped (and sold out), White Lotus Thailand is shaping up as this season’s fashion inspiration.
While the legendary Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) and her larger-than-life floral maxi dresses are — spoiler alert — sadly missing from season three, the Southeast Asia-set installment’s hotel guests are already style icons in their own right. Costume designer Alex Bovaird has been responsible for the Emmy-winning HBO/Max series’ wardrobes since season one, and she tells The Hollywood Reporter that her favorites so far are the “girlie duos. Olivia and Paula [Sydney Sweeney and Brittany O’Grady] from season one, Mia and Lucia [Simona Tabasco and Beatrice Grannò] from season two and now Chloe and Chelsea in season three!”

Bovaird dressed White Lotus Thailand guests in labels from around the world: European fashion houses such as Valentino, Hermès, Lanvin and Jacquemus alongside Bangkok-based silk label Jim Thompson (the presumed late entrepreneur had a Hollywood-worthy story of his own), Hong Kong-based designer Marie France Van Damme (whose pieces can be shopped in L.A. at Peninsula Beverly Hills), Australia-based Zimmermann, Paris-based Mes Demoisselles and Corsica-based swimwear designer Tara Matthews.
“We mix our favorites that will always be suited to the White Lotus resort vibe — Valentino, Poupette St Barth, Lunaflo London,” Bovaird tells The Hollywood Reporter over email. “They fit the show so well because they are romantic and fun. Hermès has some insanely gorgeous resort clothes and bags, and I’ve always wanted to use David Webb jewelry — a little bit eccentric and old school glamour. Jim Thompson and Marie France were local finds, such perfect fabrics and silks for the tropics.”
Viewers saw a slew of stylish guests check into White Lotus Thailand in the first episode, including the the girl tripper trio made up of actress Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), burnt-out executive Laurie Duffy (Carrie Coon) and Texas socialite Kate Bohr (Leslie Bibb); and the Southern Ratliff clan consisting of Loraaaahzepam-loving matriarch Victoria (Parker Posey), financier father Timothy (Jason Isaacs), eldest finance-bro Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), Buddhist daughter Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) and slouchy youngest son Lochlan (Sam Nivola).
There’s also the free-spirited British bohemian Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) and her moody, Hawaiian shirt-loving boyfriend, Rick Hatchett (Walton Goggins); glamorous Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon), the Quebec-bred girlfriend of Gary/Greg (Jon Gries) and visiting White Lotus Hawaii spa manager Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell).
Bovaird tapped West Village-based artist Scooter LaForge to create hand-painted tees for Chelsea and Chloe’s party moments. The costume designer also teamed with H&M on a now-sold-out capsule collection inspired by the series, and the show has debuted collabs with Banana Republic, Brunch, Away, Abercrombie & Fitch and many other brands. The White Lotus Thailand cast also wear pieces from contemporary labels such as Johnny Was, My Beachy Side, Ciao Lucia and many others.
Fans of The White Lotus also get a peek of the staff’s off-duty looks. In addition to Belinda, the Southeast Asian resort’s staff includes health mentor Mook (Blackpink superstar Lisa, credited as Lalisa Manobal), security officer Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong), Russian expat Valentin (Arnas Fedaravičius), resort owner Sritala Hollinger (Patravadi Mejudhon) and hotel manager Fabian (Christian Friedel).
The season three finale of The White Lotus airs on Sunday at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on HBO and streams on Max.
But with one final episode left, Blackpink fans are left wondering if they’ll ever see Mook out of her khaki co-ords. “She’s mostly in her cute uniforms, but you’ll have to wait and see,” Bovaird reveals of her off-duty ensembles.
As for the season three guests at the top of her list? “Chloe’s Jacquemus custom fits are so striking and chic, and Chelsea is a boho queen,” says Bovaird. “I’m also obsessed with Rick’s shirts and floppy linen pants with leather sandals. Fabian [played by Christian Friedel] is a fashion star, a little overlooked I fear.”
For those heading to a tropical locale soon, Bovaird has a few words of advice after living in Thailand while working on The White Lotus. “Bathing suit tops instead of bras! So helpful and real,” she suggests. “Classic straw hats from Mon Panama, handmade sandals from a foot tracing (get them over in Thailand), viscose dresses, linen shirts and vintage aloha shirts. Thai fisherman-style pants and elephant pants — give into them!”
