In The Perfect Couple, Netflix’s latest hit, Nicole Kidman takes on the role of Greer Garrison Winbury, a high-society matriarch living in the rarified world of Nantucket’s elite. While the plot draws you into a gripping murder mystery, it's Kidman’s wardrobe that quietly commands attention—an epitome of understated elegance that mirrors the character's untouchable poise.

Greer embodies the "coastal grandmother" trend, but hers is far from casual. Her wardrobe is a masterclass in quiet luxury, with an elevated twist that whispers of wealth and exclusivity. Think flowing silk blouses, crisp linen trousers, and breezy floral dresses—all in a palette of soft pastels, creams, and oceanic hues that blend effortlessly into the coastal landscape. This is a woman whose clothes—carefully curated by costume designer Signe Sejlund—speak volumes. Sejlund, known for her work on The Undoing, dresses Greer in garments that suggest a life where stains, wrinkles, and imperfections simply don’t exist.

Designers like Victoria Beckham, Saint Laurent, and Ralph Lauren dominate Greer’s wardrobe, with standout pieces like the magenta Roland Mouret dress—a bold choice for her book launch, and a symbolic power move within the story. This striking contrast to her otherwise subdued palette gives the character depth, hinting at the tension between her serene exterior and the drama beneath.

The tie-neck blouse has practically become Greer’s signature, most notably the Victoria Beckham design that sold out after its on-screen debut. Whether paired with tailored linen trousers or a simple cashmere cardigan, it’s an effortlessly elegant look that could easily step off the screen and into reality. Swap the tailored trousers for jeans, and suddenly Greer’s polished Nantucket vibe is adaptable to a more everyday, urban chic—proof that even the most refined looks can be made accessible with the right styling.

But Greer’s wardrobe is about more than fashion—it’s about wearing wealth with the ease of someone who never has to think twice about dry-clean-only fabrics. Sejlund’s deliberate choice of cream-coloured silk and delicate linens was designed to show how little Greer needs to concern herself with life’s practicalities. Her clothes are more than just luxury—they are a subtle nod to her life of privilege.

What makes Greer’s wardrobe so captivating is its duality. While the looks are inherently luxurious and high-end, there’s an inherent versatility, a sense that these pieces can transcend Nantucket’s elite and fit into a more grounded, everyday wardrobe. It’s coastal couture at its finest—steeped in effortless sophistication, yet surprisingly adaptable if you dare to take the plunge.
