‘The White Lotus’: Portia’s Clothing Intended to Be Unappealing

The second season of The White Lotus is now complete, and a third is on the way. Following the season finale, some fans believe Portia deserves to be in a committed relationship with Albie. Others keep making remarks about her choice of attire in the meanwhile. The clothing might look strange, but Portia’s costumes could be more exciting and interesting. The reaction of the audience might not come as a surprise to the creators. The character’s attire was planned, according to the show’s costume designer.

Portia’s remarkable attire from the second season

As Tanya’s teenage assistant, Portia debuted in Season 2 and immediately caught viewers’ interest with her fashion sense. Each costume is distinctive, yet some are more distinctive than others. She appears in one episode sporting a short-sleeved rugby jersey that is cropped. The character with green, elastic-waisted slacks wears the shirt. Fans also discussed a bikini top as an outfit. At one point, Portia is wearing a white pair of shorts, a crocheted bolero, and a zebra-print bikini top. Of course, she also sports various looks that distinguish her from the rest.

tbh… I wasn't sure if this was Portia's idea of a disguise or if she just regularly shops for accessories at airport gift shops #WhiteLotus pic.twitter.com/znVEMgDg94

Some spectators still recall Portia’s bright outfit or a vest with swans on it. Due to the absence of a dress code for her employment, she combines and matches her clothing. Fans debate whether her wardrobe choices are good or terrible, though. Fans may all agree that it is challenging to sum up Portia’s overall style despite the disagreement. Her attire does, however, depict the character as a member of Generation Z who uses social media frequently. The choice of attire was deliberate.

Portia’s fashion choices are intentionally poor

The New York Times said that Portia’s disorganized appearance was intentional on the part of costume designer Alex Bovaird. She saw the “haphazard yet inadvertently cool manner” certain Instagram influencers put their clothes together. Bovaird also drew inspiration from TV contestants and companies on Instagram. Of fact, she intended to give the character’s look a little off-putting appearance. As a result, it’s possible that others may see Portia as having too many accessories or inappropriate shoes. She’s meant to be “a little bit of a disaster.”

Portia’s untidy appearance is indicative of her status as a young person who is continuously using TikTok. She also tends to make bad judgments and is not very wealthy. As a result, her outfit communicates this information to the audience. Bovaird occasionally thinks Portia is cute, and she bought the outfits from stores like Urban Outfitters and House of Sunny. The apparel was from the 1990s and 2000s even though the style screams Gen Z. Bovaird was able to draw attention to a generational gap by using old attire.

Fans have critiqued Portia’s character in addition to her clothes. Portia complains often about her job during Season 2. Although she has to worry about avoiding her boss’s husband, the general public finds her work to be not too bad. Some of her followers, according to GQ, believe that she does nothing and that her work is simple. Not to add that she works at a luxurious resort in Italy. Portia could occasionally come out as gullible or self-centered. The person who plays the part, though, views her in a different light.

Haley Lu Richardson argues that Portia is a relatable assistant in an interview. She resembles Tanya while also appearing to be a younger Tanya. Maybe what turned fans against Portia was that she was practically a miniature of her boss. She could, however, advance if she shows up for Season 3.
