The fifth episode of FX’s Pose was perhaps its most poignant so far, with Blanca dealing with the death of her mother and Elektra reckoning with the realization she’s not the empathetic house mother she ought to be.
But don’t worry: All those feelings didn’t get in the way of Pose delivering some of its most decadent, stunning looks thus far, courtesy of costume designer Lou Eyrich. Here are the 10 best looks from episode five of Pose, including Pray Tell’s killer headgear and Elektra’s somehow chic alternative to a hospital gown.
