From the costumes to the set, from the words of the script to the movements of the actors, everything on stage tells a story. Stage-Inspired Fashion adds a little drama to everyday style.

The national tour of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, starring Darren Criss and Lena Hall, just started in San Francisco! In celebration of this fantastic show, let’s get into some over-the-top fashion inspiration.

You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town.

Products: Romper, Jacket, Patch, Fishnets, Boots, Eyeshadow, Blush

To get Hedwig’s glam-rocker style, put on a satin romper, fishnets, and glittery gold boots. Rather than replicate her wildly decorated denim, customize your own denim jacket with pins and patches that are important to you. Finish the look with Hedwig’s iconic makeup: bright blue eyeshadow and bold pink blush.

Yitzhak

The love that had me in your grip
Was just a long, long grift.

Products: Shirt, Sweatshirt, Jacket, Jeans, Boots, Gloves

Hedwig forbids Yitzhak from doing drag while they’re together, so Yitzhak’s look for most of the show is very masculine. For a Yitzhak-inspired outfit, layer a leather jacket over a black hoodie and a white button-down shirt. Add loose boyfriend jeans, chunky combat boots, and fingerless gloves.

Transformations

And you’re shining like the brightest stars,
A transmission on the midnight radio.

Products: Shirt, Shorts, Jacket, Boots, Eyeliner

By the end of the show, Hedwig and Yitzhak look like completely different people. Hedwig has taken off her flashy costume and stands onstage in a pair of black leather shorts; Yitzhak, returning to drag at last, puts on an even flashier costume. Combine their respective finale looks with a black tank top, Hedwig’s leather shorts and silver makeup, and Yitzhak’s over-the-knee boots and outrageous sequins.
