I'm going to see what other articles I can find on it. As a complete fashion obsessive I find how they dress her really interesting.

Chiv's hat on the wedding outfit looked so cheap and plastic too. I was watching Matthew MacFadyen being interviewed and he said they all had these amazing cashmere coats, but they were cast asides they were only shot going to the car from the office and didn't need them as they were never shot walking anywhere.
 
I read something interesting about the Italian wedding clothes, and how the Roys were all dressed as if they were going on a cruise, whereas the genuinely upper-class Europeans were effortlessly chic in neutral linens. The Roys literally embody the adage that you can’t buy class.

I’d been wondering why such a wealthy woman would wear an ill-fitting horror like that blue halterneck thing, but thinking back to Kendall’s midlife crisis birthday jacket, it’s clever how they’re using clothes to show how uncomfortable and ill-fitting the Roys are in their own skin, and in the world more generally.

It might be interesting to watch the series back and see if Tom and Greg’s wardrobes improve inversely to the Roy kids clothes as their statuses wane/rise.

That does make sense but their mother is aristocracy (or of that vibe) so they would have that culture - although Brit blue blood maybe not famously stylish ( all a bit wellies and head scarfs)? And bar Kendal they are largely non flashy. But still perhaps influenced by their American upbringing I guess?

It‘s fascinating. I wouldn’t have pegged the Roy’s as nouvaeu riche - their mother is of money, Logan made his mone, yes.

I'm so dense I genuinely didn't get the whole Tom thing until looking at social media after watching it. I mean, surely no one *needed* to tell Logan that his kids would do that, he's always one step ahead anyway PLUS he's got Gerri advising. Going to have to go back and watch everything again from the start, Lord knows what else I've missed 😂

Don't worry. You're not the only one!
 
I’m obsessed!

We have just binged watched the whole 3 series. Didn’t even realise that was the final episode and completed missed Toms involvement 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 so glad I read here and caught up. Most of the business stuff passes me by to be honest.

Love Tom and Greg! Love to hate Roman! Love them all really, even though they are all completely terrible and flawed.

What on Earth will happen next series? All the sibs will make their own company together maybe?
 
I’ve finally watched the last 2 episodes of season 3 and OH MY GOD! They are perfection! Enjoyed them much more than the ones which are more boardroom based - they leave me a bit cold, I can’t keep up with all the business lingo.

So many stand out moments: Roman’s dick pic, Shiv’s awful outfits (think I developed sympathetic chaffing watching her waddle around in that white dress!), the Ken/Roman/Shiv scene, Tom and Greg’s little chat, the stunning backdrop and then that final scene - Sarah Snook did an incredible job portraying Shiv’s devastation. What will happen next season? I can’t wait!

Looks like Brian Cox aka Logan Roy wasn't a fan of the ending of Season 3 either:

Brian Cox admits dissatisfaction over Succession season three finale

Although Cox, 75, said that ultimately 'the ending was great' he revealed that there were other scenes that were cut that could have made for something different.

He's really opinionated. I like him as an actor but I wouldn't like to cross him in real life. He seems quite unpleasant.
