Dressing as someone else
Screenfits earns a commission on some links below, at no cost to you. We choose the garments first and find where to buy them second — never the other way round.
Soft knits and pastel florals, then — abruptly — a copy of somebody else's entire wardrobe.
Heidi Bivens made Cassie's second-season shift deliberate and legible: "I knew that we needed to really drive it home. It was gonna be a scene at school where Maddy would be there, and I just thought, 'OK, well, it would be great if we really made it obvious that she's trying to dress like Maddy.'" Bivens on the underlying logic: "Cassie's always yearning for this love from others… She is looking to others for approval, looking to others for inspiration for her style."

The season-one version is the more wearable one: pastel knits, small floral prints, soft cardigans, ribbons, a slightly retro silhouette. Everything soft-focus and nothing structural. Keep the palette pale — butter yellow, powder blue, blush, cream. It's the opposite of the show's usual saturation, which is why it reads as her. Hair accessories do a lot: a ribbon, a clip, a soft headband. Cheap, and very specific to the character. And if you want the season-two version, it's simply the Maddy formula — cut-outs, tight fits, dark neutrals — which is the joke. Wearing them side by side is the whole story.
Soft-girl pastels with a sharpened edge — floral dresses, hair ribbons and knit sets, then the leather mini and cut-outs when it all goes sideways.
Season one is ribbons and pastels; season two is 4am beauty routines and vinyl. Pick an era — mixing them confuses the story.
Anything grungy or oversized. Cassie is polished even in crisis — especially in crisis.
