Costume designer Alex Bovaird has worked on all three seasons of HBO 's hit series.

She works hand in hand with creator Mike White to build a visual language through the characters’ clothing.

The White Lotus is set in Thailand , with each installment set in a different location.

The costume designer worked closely with Parker Posey to capture that elitist coastal Southern vibe.

The party scenes came naturally to Bovaird .

She tried to sneak in a tribute to fan-favorite Tanya , played by Jennifer Coolidge , who died in Season 2 .

“There’s probably more of me in Chloe than anyone else,” she said.
