With a cast consisting of Seth Green and Anthony Stewart Head, Buffy had a run of seven successful seasons from 1997 to 2003.
“Buffy’s costumes were an integral part of who she was and what she was going through at that time,” Sarah Michelle explained in the new retrospective.
“When you first meet her, she’s this traditional, essential Valley girl, a California girl who doesn’t want the weight of her world on her shoulders, and she dresses accordingly.”
Sarah Michelle continued, “But as she accepted power and responsibility, her outfits kind of progressed with that.”

Sarah Michelle had a “vision” of the huge black hat she would wear in the scene, “not quite Breakfast At Tiffany’s, but like ginormous and they don’t, they’re not very common, and we so called it ‘the hat church’ and we had to go to a shop specializing in Easter Sunday type outfits.’
Upon arrival, she discovered that “all the hats were blue and pink and it really felt like we had been all over LA looking for the perfect black hat for this scene.”
