Are ‘The Idol’ outfits the best part of the show?

Okay folks, The Idol has officially landed. While the votes are still coming in on whether or not the hotly anticipated, terribly reviewed show is actually going to be any good (it is, unfortunately for self-decided geniuses Abel Tesfaye and Sam Levinson, not looking like it), what is not up for dispute is how incredibly hot the cast is. Lily-Rose Depp, Rachel Sennott, Jennie Ruby Jane, Troye Sivan, Dan Levy, Hari Nef, Moses Sumney, Da'Vine Joy Randolph – it's a feast for the eyes! And the wardrobe department reflects the seedy series perfectly.

Created by costume designer Natasha Newman-Thomas, the purpose of a lot of the outfits, especially Jocelyn's, are to distract from what's going on in that arguably unstable head of hers."There's an innate mystery to anyone you idolise," Newman-Thomas told E! News. "You see the façade and the persona, but there's a mystery to what goes on behind the scenes. It's meant for you to not see how hard it is."

"If you're a pop star on that level," she continued, "you have to wear clothes that are unattainable to keep that fantasy status. We wanted to get the point across that she's not a normal person."

There are silky lace robes and tiny, sheer dresses (a standout is Depp's baby blue Aya Muse dress, which is sold out everywhere), and of course, Chanel accessories. Troye Sivan's character wears a lot of collared jackets, while Rachel Sennott's is mostly looking worried in jeans. Tesfaye has already creeped us out in a trench coat that doesn't look weather-appropriate for any kind of LA conditions, and most of his entourage are not wearing any clothes at all come episode 2!

Several episodes in, and we are already coveting many of the outfits on The Idol. So, below we're rounding up all of our favourite looks and where to buy them, or alternatives, so far.
