Levy had extracted some final-season drama by having David choose Stevie to be his maid of honor, in lieu of sister Alexis. But at the last minute, in a touching surprise, David tells Alexis that he wants her to walk him down the aisle. Knowing that Alexis would subconsciously hijack this opportunity to make the wedding, well, a little bit Alexis—even in her evolved state—Levy plotted for the character to wear a bridal gown.
“It was just so in line with her character,” said Levy. “But also the double entendre and the callback of [season one, episode three] ‘Don’t Worry, It’s His Sister.’ So, a really fun thing to reference the fact that at the very last episode, they walk down the aisle with people potentially thinking they’re husband and wife.”
Moira’s Last Look
When it comes to over-the-top wigs and clothing, Moira has always delivered—choosing the most hilariously anachronistic lewks for her small-town adventures. (See: Moira’s black studded leather gloves and Tim Burton–inspired hat for Amish Country.) So while Levy paid special attention to several costumes in the wedding—Stevie’s tux, Alexis’s wedding dress, and David’s Thom Browne suit—he and O’Hara knew that Moira’s officiant costume had to exceed major expectations.
“That was one of my biggest anxieties,” said Levy, “‘How can we possibly top some of the more iconic looks that Moira has shown over the years? How can we do something that is so breathtaking, and yet at the same time not selfish? Because part of the challenge of clothing Moira in that episode was that you didn’t ever want the audience to think, That’s funny, but why would she do that on her son’s wedding day?”
O’Hara said that when she first heard Moira would be officiating, the unlikely inspiration immediately came to her: “I just, in that moment said, ‘Oh, I think I should look like the pope. What about a mitre that the pope wears?’”
Said Levy, “As soon as Catherine said, ‘What if we did a pope’s hat?’ it just all clicked into place. I sourced the gown…and I just had this dream vision of really long hair that looked like it could exist in a Botticelli painting, like it could be some kind of religious-based painting. It felt timeless, but it also felt very her. And it was something that I don’t think we had ever seen before.”
The wig ended up posing one of the finale’s most difficult creative challenges. O’Hara’s wig wizard, Ana Sorys, spent weeks trying to assemble a halo of hair at the bottom of the mitre for comfort and cosmetic reasons. (O’Hara believes that her long face is better offset with a hat with a brim.) After weeks of attempting to realize O’Hara’s meticulous vision, Sorys was finally able to assemble a “hair doughnut,” as Murphy described it, by wrapping blonde hair around a tube and affixing it with the same glue Sorys used on her kitchen tiles. Sorys attached the blonde brim to some 64 inches of wig tresses she had crafted for Moira—and added pin curls to give the look softness.
The cast had a vague idea of what Moira’s officiant look would be. “But it wasn’t until Catherine walked on the set that everything became very clear,” said Murphy. “I remember everyone looked at her, and kind of drew in a breath. Then there was a silence and then someone started a slow clap. The whole set was clapping. It was the only reaction we could possibly think of.”
