Costumes

Damien Bohun

Damien is the rich and influential Grandson of the original cloak owner; Zachery Bohun. Just like his Grandfather, he wears a top hat for effortless sophistication and a clear indication of status. But unlike Zachery, he wears a traditional Victorian overcoat and suit. It is all black and creates a dramatic silhouette which makes him distinctive from a crowd or in the distance. He stands out and is clearly recognisable as a rich and wealthy businessman.

Robin Finlay

Alternatively, Robin wears a navy waistcoat and black trousers. Although still smart, his look is fairly laid back; the suit does not match but still works as one. His shirt is an off-white colour and a thin cotton fabric. He has enough money, but could not be to be considered well-off; he dresses similarly to other men of his status (as can be seen in the pub scene). His tie has a paisley pattern and is a similar red to the cloak.

Helena

Helena wears a brown tweed jacket with black detail, a black corset, brown top, black high-low skirt, boots and footless tights. She wears a brooch and necklace; both antique in appearance. Helena has a very different look to her sister and prefers to take a more casual approach to life, which can be seen in their difference in style. Helena has a natural interest in fashion as well as having her own distinctive style - she has no desire to blend in, and although she dresses for herself rather than for the attention of men or to compete with other women (which she considers to be the reason that her sister dresses up), she is happy to have attention drawn to her. Although she is good at reading situations and empathising with people, she is rarely sentimental. She prefers to wear dark colours because she likes to approach her style with subtlety - she would never be caught wearing her sister's cloak.

William Fletcher

William's style is more laid back. William lives in a cottage just beside the woods and avoids visiting the town; not only because he enjoys his independence, but is secretly afraid of the villagers discovering the secret of his identity. His long coat is often worn by him as he regularly wanders around the woods during the night, even when there is no sign of a full moon. He wears a red shirt and navy trousers in a thick, durable fabric. He has very few items, makes very little money, and makes the most out of the items that he has. As he rarely visits the town, he feels no need to dress in the way that Robin does- in the film, he holds the lowest social status as he has no family, few connections, and would never be accepted if the town was to discover that he was a were-wolf (though rumours have been heard).

Scarlett

The red cloak is iconic in the Red Riding Hood storyline. Scarlett also wears a white mask during the chase scene (which is seen in her basket beforehand) - she carries this with her incase her Grandmother's assumptions are correct, and the Bohun's ever return. If she had to desert the cloak at any point, they could never be sure that she was the one connected to it. She also wears a smart black prom-style dress with silver gems. Scarlett is very concerned with her appearance and choses her clothing to match the cloak, which she wears for sentimental reasons. The black is sophisticated and stylish; but also allows her to blend in if she ever did need to keep her identity hidden.
