The creators of the series work together with the stylists to ensure that the visual image of the characters of the detective series matches the characteristics of the role as much as possible. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the clothes you see on screen are what real law enforcement officers would wear in real life.
The everyday work of investigators requires functional and comfortable clothing. After all, their daily lives are spent at crime scenes where there is blood and dirt, as well as interviewing witnesses and victims, which means frequent travel by car.
The transformation of Castle’s muse
The popular series The Castle Method, which airs weekdays at 10 p.m. on Fox Life, stars Kate Beckett as Stan Katic. She is of New York a police detective who solves murders with her colleagues. She is also the muse of popular writer Richard Castle.
In the first season, Kate’s hairstyle was short shoulder-length hair dyed red. Beckett wore business-style suits with white shirts. Her make-up was also minimal – eyeliner and a bit of mascara. From the outside, it could be said that external appearance was not very important to Beckett.
At the beginning of the second season, Kate’s hair had become longer and dyed brown with a few lighter strands with the help of stylists. Her dressing style had also become a bit more relaxed, but she still stuck to her favorite business suits.
In the third season, the actress’s hair was a little darker, and the make-up was also more in line with the new hair color. The detective’s style of dressing remained almost unchanged.

In the fourth season, Kate finally got a character that she kept until the last episodes. Long hair styled in waves for bleached locks. There had also been an obvious change in her wardrobe. The detective started wearing raincoats, leather jackets and stylish blazers. The eye makeup became even brighter, highlighting her beautiful eyes.
Interestingly, in the fifth and sixth seasons, the stylists experimented a little with Beckett’s hair color, making it lighter. Kate’s dressing style became even more feminine and brightly colored clothes also appeared in her wardrobe. Viewers could see detectives on the screens in tunics and satin blouses, as well as dresses and free-style t-shirts, combined with tight jeans and other, so far unusual clothes.
The last two seasons have been an example of Beckett’s cultivated style – long, curly hair, bright leather jackets and original half coats, as well as tight jeans. In the eighth season, viewers could see Kate more often with a hairstyle unusual for her style – hair received at the salon.
Many viewers of “The Castle Method” have noticed that in almost all episodes, Kate wears shoes with very high heels. In real life, a policewoman would hardly be able to chase criminals, but the screen heroine, I must say, did it very well!
One of the explanations for this choice of shoes is that the actress’s partner Nathan Fillion, who played Castle, is quite tall – around 190 centimeters, while Katic, who played Beckett, is 175 centimeters tall. Only thanks to the high heels and the visually reduced height difference, both heroes looked harmonious in the frame.
By the way, Beckett’s character is so popular and loved that she is repeatedly included in various charts of the series. Her character, Kate Beckett, is included in the TOP50 favorite TV female characters on the culture portal “AfterEllen.com”. On the other hand, the prestigious magazine “Radio Times” included her in the list of the best strong female characters. Meanwhile, “TV Guide” magazine believes that she deserves a place among the sexiest crime fighters.
It should also be noted that the actress Stan Katic, who plays Beckett, has been nominated and won several awards for her acting performance. For example, in 2009 she won the “Satellite Awards” in the nomination “Best Actress in a Dramatic Series”, and in 2012 she won the “Prism” Award for the best portrayal in a dramatic episode.
The Evolution of the Brennan Style of Temperance
“Skeleton of Crime,” a weekday series on FOX, stars anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Her choice of clothing is pretty much a reflection of what her character is going through in that particular time period.
In the first season, her style was aptly described by a colleague, calling it “eco-warrior” clothing. Temperance, played by Emily Deschanel, preferred baggy jeans or black trousers, which she complemented with t-shirts or business shirts with long sleeves. Sometimes she could also be seen in “bohemian” style long skirts and knitted tops.
Her half-length hair always looked natural, while her makeup was kept in neutral tones. It all suited her character perfectly – Brennan would be ready to fly to Africa at any moment to sift through the sand for three months looking for bones. With this style of dressing, she could also fit in on any American college campus.
In the second season, nothing much changed in terms of style, only the clothes became a little more fitted. The hair still remained wavy and looked untouched by the hairdresser. Makeup also remained fairly neutral, but eyeliner and mascara gradually became staples of her visual image. The exception was the amusing situation where Brennan let Booth dress her.

In seasons three and four, Temperance’s hair became straighter and she was often seen in figure-flattering pantsuits. The makeup, especially in the fourth season, became more expressive and “glamorous”.
In the fifth season of the series, her dressing style showed a striking change. Temperance had gone from a typical scientist to an elegant and stylish woman. The anthropologist was often seen in feminine dresses and blouses, which significantly highlighted her cleavage. But in the next, sixth season, Brennan was back in business suits and button-down shirts. Her style remained formal and utilitarian.
In the following seasons, stylists experimented with the visual image of the main character – she was seen both in dresses and pantsuits. But there is one thing that remained constant throughout the seasons – Temperance was unimaginable without necklaces. In the first seasons, they were especially noticeable against the background of modest clothes, but over the years they became more and more elegant!
For the role of Brennan, Emily Deschanel was repeatedly nominated for “People Choice Awards”, “Teen Choice Awards” and other prestigious awards.
