![]() It’s interesting that the show hasn’t gone for the obvious choice with his character - instead of having Cal be the hardened psychopath raising a messy, troubled son, it’s flipped the roles. ![]() ![]() The same contradiction also haunts Cal, who falters with his latest motel hookup as he wonders if staying closeted has just made things worse for his sons. If adults intervening out of love for Maddy just leads to more abuse, how is she supposed to know the difference between the two? The contradiction is heightened in a memorable scene of a resistant Maddy being handcuffed to a table, stripped, and photographed for evidence by a trio of police officers. It’s already hard enough for a teen to obey authority of any kind, much less when it’s telling you that the thing you thought was love was actually abuse. Though the fallout of Nate’s abuse of Maddy is played for maximum melodrama, Maddy’s maelstrom of emotions always feels authentic. And Maddy would sooner relinquish her own safety than the story she’s been telling herself. But Nate’s abuse of Maddy at the carnival, and the lingering bruises on her neck, pose a genuine threat to that fantasy of control. It even allows girls to pretend it’s their choice, as if the 14-year-old Maddy could ever truly be “the one in control” of losing her virginity to a 40-year-old man. For a girl with no ambitions of her own, our culture still presents the alluring alternative of simply being something a man can “own and possess,” as Rue puts it. While I call extreme bullshit on Maddy taking her cues from Sharon Stone in Casino (a movie that even most of the adults I know have never seen), the overall point of her cold open still stands. Appropriately, the episode is named for the first collaboration between Jay and Bey - a romance that made itself in the image of the original ride-or-die duo but that has faltered in very real and human ways. She doesn’t actually mean it, of course, but she feels like she could - and for a teenager, is there any difference? “Bonnie and Clyde ’03” focuses on the stories the Euphoria teens tell themselves about their romantic lives, often in the face of deeply contradictory evidence. The original brand (I.AM.GIA.) has recently decided to restock the outfit.“He’d fucking kill for me and I’d fucking kill for him,” Maddy says of Nate at the climax of this week’s Euphoria. She’s spotted wearing a purple bra top and flare pants with a strappy cut out, also in purple. In the scene taking place in the carnival, Maddy wears one of fans’ favorite outfits of the season. A similar outfit can be recreated and bought in blue and white from Aliexpress. The outfit is from a Chanel runway, so very few were sold to the public. In the same episode, Maddy is walking in the mall with Kat Hernandez (Barbie Ferreira) wearing a knit cropped blue and orange cardigan with a matching knit mini skirt. To not pay a crazy amount to recreate this, you can buy a look-alike skirt from Poshmark and top from Etsy. The original outfit is made by Versace and in deadstock since it is considered “vintage”. On the episode “Made you look”, Maddy is wearing a yellow cropped zipper vest with a matching yellow mini skirt. You can buy this set (no longer sold on original website) on Shop Local for $45. While bowling with Nate, Maddy is seen wearing a two-piece black outfit with daisies embroidered on the cropped tank top and pants. This outfit can be bought from Editked for the cut out jeans, and the top can be found at Shein. ![]() In this episode, Maddy is wearing cut out jeans with a halter denim zip up top while walking down the halls at school. If you don’t want to pay the heavy price tag for this outfit, you can achieve this look with a similar set here from Shein. This outfit can be bought here from the handmade brand Akna. When leaving Nate Jacobs’ (Jacob Elodri) house, Maddy is wearing a cropped tracksuit with the phrase “baby girl” studded with Swarovski diamonds titled on the front and back.

Episode 8, Tracksuit Despite dark themes in the show, many fans turned their eyes more towards the aesthetic and style of fashion in the show. The popular show portrays teens going through struggles such as drug abuse and sexuality. The show portrays a euphoric vibe and costume designs focus on representing characters’ personalities, with bright-colored outfits, many pastels, with “out of the ordinary” makeup and outfits to go with. HBO’s “Euphoria”, starring Zendaya, has fans crazy over the style of character Maddy Perez (Alexa Demi) throughout the show.
