Demi Moore<\/strong> won a Golden Globe for her role in The\u00a0Substance<\/strong><\/em><\/a>,<\/em> which is expected to receive several Oscar nods when the nominations are announced Jan. 23. And it turns out that both\u00a0Dua Lipa<\/strong> and\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> helped inspire the look of the film.<\/p>\n

In The Substance,<\/em>\u00a0Moore plays a 50-year-old movie star named Elisabeth who gets fired from her aerobics TV show due to her age. She then takes a drug called The Substance, which causes her body to generate a younger version of herself named Sue \u2014 played by Margaret Qualley<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 who then takes over the aerobics TV show.<\/p>\n

In an interview with NextBestPicture<\/strong><\/a>, Emmanuelle Youchnovski<\/strong>, the film’s costume designer, says she looked to both Bey and Dua when she\u00a0created the bodysuits Sue wears while hosting the show, wanting to give them a modern spin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You know the video clip of Beyonce\u2019s ‘Blow<\/strong><\/a>,’ where she had the colors, [do] you remember [that] one?” Youchnovski says. “I also took a lot of inspiration from Dua Lipa because she wears a lot of bodysuits<\/strong><\/a>, but the bodysuit, it\u2019s metallic, it\u2019s fuchsia, it\u2019s neon. I took all the things of our pop culture.”<\/p>\n

Youchnovski also says that Dua inspired the shapes of the bodysuits \u2014 specifically, she says she added cutouts<\/strong><\/a> to show “more skin” and make it “more Dua Lipa.”<\/p>\n

Following her Golden Globe win, Moore has also been nominated for a BAFTA \u2014 a “British Oscar” \u2014 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role.\u00a0<\/p>\n
