    I feel like Margot also has undying love for her family and carries it through her clothes. The tennis dress matches Richies ensemble to indicate their feelings for one another, also to blend in with both her brothers sports attire. The purse and shoes is attribute to her mother's real class and vanity. The fur coat represents she carries apart of her father and his liklieness of showing off her wealth like he does.

    I read somewhere that a large part of what prevents siblings from developing romantic feelings for one another is seeing each other being nursed and cared for by their parents while growing up. If that's true then it's not that unbelievable or weird that siblings adopted later in childhood, or step-siblings (like Cher and Josh in 'Clueless') fall in love.

    With the vast funds of the morbidly wealthy that these streaming services enjoy, you'd think they could find some good stories, screenplay writers, directors and pay for original music in their soundtracks. The Killer (Netflix) was an encouraging step in the right direction. Had a relationship, decades ago, in the 1980s. She introduced me to Patti Smith's Horses. I introduced her to Talking Heads' Remain in Light. Always used to wear those old fashioned slips when we were home at our apartment.
