On the first night in the Crawford home, Lowen discovers what seems to be Verity’s autobiography, hidden on a jump drive in a pack of cigarettes, and she dives into the manuscript. Fragments of the powerhouse author’s path to her incapacitating accident then unfold through Lowen’s POV, starting with Verity’s steamy first encounter with Jeremy. Cut to a champagne-drenched black-tie gala, where Verity—in a draped crimson Versace gown, signature red lip, and a bouncier version of her voluminous lob—immediately captivates Jeremy from across the room.
When Hathaway walked on set, “everyone was just like, ‘Wow,’” says Lugo. “[Her hair] had that sexy, Hollywood texture where it was moving around. In Lowen’s eyes, when she [imagines] Verity in that red dress, she’s just like, ‘This is gorgeous and perfect. She can do nothing wrong.’”
As Lowen prepares to start writing, Jeremy offers both an invitation to dinner at the local fine-dining Bavarian restaurant and carte blanche to Verity’s designer evening wear in the indisposed author’s walk-in closet. Lowen selects a slinky red Versace safety-pin slip dress, reminiscent of Verity’s earlier first-meet gown, and presumably blow-dries her long, dark brown hair and bangs into a sleeker, sultrier style.
