22 Most Memorable Costumes From Timeless Season 1
7. Lucy’s 1940s Outfit
It is unfortunate viewers barely get a look at Lucy’s full ensemble without her coat on Timeless Season 1 Episode 4, “Party at Castle Varlar,” but what is visible looks pretty cute — especially the shoes. The less said about the period accurate (but still hideous) nude hose the better, though.
The coat also features nice detailing on the pockets and shoulders. I would not be upset if it were hanging in my closet right now.
8. Lucy’s 1836 Costume
Unfortunately, Timeless Season 1 Episode 5, “The Alamo,” is memorable for Lucy’s jacket and skirt being wrong for the time period.
What’s especially odd is the female background extras appear much closer to the correct look for the 1830s than Lucy. Although she is simply dressed, Lucy’s clothing should include more fullness in the sleeves and wider shoulders.
Maybe early in the episode, she mistakenly selects clothing from the wrong rack in the wardrobe room?
9. Wyatt and Garcia Flynn’s 1972 Suits
It is no secret the 1970s are a hit-and-miss fashion decade, especially where men’s clothing is concerned.
Take note, it is possible to make Matt Lanter and Goran Višnjić look marginally less attractive — just put them in truly terrible 1970s era suits like these on Timeless Season 1 Episode 6, “The Watergate Tape.”
It is criminal what those awful pants do to Matt Lanter’s lower half and the chunky ties…yuck. This is definitely a style best left in the past.
10. Lucy’s 1972 Outfit
Brightly colored coat, patterned dress, and knee-high boots — Lucy’s groovy outfit on Timeless Season 1 Episode 6, “The Watergate Tape,” would not look too out of place even today. Love the necklace and this hairstyle on her as well.
Next to her male teammates, she definitely comes out the 1970s a style winner!
11. Lucy’s 1754 Dress
It is a shame we do not see Lucy’s fitted-back dress from Timeless Season 1 Episode 7, “Stranded,” when it is clean because it looks quite pretty. The stripes on the dress, which were very popular for this era, are lovely, and the trim around the neckline is a nice touch.
Timeless also gets bonus points here because the dress actually fastens in the front, which is often a detail from this time period historical productions get wrong.
12. Lucy’s 1969 Dress and Kathryn Johnson’s Eyewear
Everything about Lucy’s outfit on Timeless Season 1 Episode 8, “Space Race,” is awesome. The dress is cute, and, though they are not visible on screen most of the time, the patterned tights are perfect. Her makeup and accessories are great too. If only my attempts at winged eyeliner could be as perfect.
Kathryn Johnson’s cat-eye shaped frames are also amazing, and they need to get on my face immediately! It is nice to see this episode prominently feature Johnson’s role in NASA’s success.
Plus, the team accidentally changing the past so that she becomes a hero feels less like a mistake and more like a historical correction.
