After becoming the must-see cultural phenomenon last year during the pandemic, Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit” dominated the Creative Arts Emmys this weekend with nine awards. Scott Frank’s Cold War-era limited series about orphan chess prodigy Beth (Anya Taylor-Joy) was honored across the board for casting, cinematography, period costumes, editing, period makeup (non-prosthetic), original dramatic score (Carlos Rafael Rivera), production design, sound editing, and sound mixing.
We’ll have to wait and see if this translates to “The Queen’s Gambit” winning Outstanding Limited Series at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards on September 19. Regardless, Frank assembled a talented team of craftspeople for conveying an almost surreal mood and atmosphere to Beth’s rite of passage.
But the big question for Tesoro was: What is too much chess? The answer: Play the faces more than the chess. And once viewers got their first glimpse of Beth, they were hooked and carried...

Gabriele Binder can’t tell you why she felt so drawn to “The Queen’s Gambit,” only that she’s glad she was. The costume designer responsible for crafting the most covetable wardrobe of the year admits that on its face, a chess-based tale set in the 1950s and ’60s shouldn’t have piqued her interest.
“I heard it and I immediately had goosebumps.”
Judging by the reaction that audiences and awards bodies have had in response to Scott Frank’s limited series — “The Queen’s Gambit” triumphed at the PGAs, DGAs, and SAGs, among many others — Binder wasn’t the only person who felt the latent magic lurking within the adaptation of Walter Tevis’ 1983 novel of the same name.
In the months since “The Queen’s Gambit” took Netflix and the winter awards season by storm, it’s probable that some details about the saga of fictional chess prodigy Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy...

Gabriele Binder was “so happy to be part of this group” that we assembled for our “Meet the Btl Experts” panel of Emmy-contending costume designers, who joined us to discuss their work, inspirations, challenges, and more. Binder is nominated for Best Period Costumes for “The Queen’s Gambit,” while Dayna Pink (“Lovecraft Country”) and Christopher Hargadon (“The Umbrella Academy”) vie for Best Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes and Zaldy (“RuPaul’s Drag Race”) hopes to win a juried award for Best Costumes for a Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Program. The four artists represent “absolutely different imaginations, different universes.” Watch our group discussion above, and watch each person’s individual chat by clicking on each name.
“You’re kind of born with it, and you carry it through your life, and it is kind of an honor that other people recognize it, especially nowadays,” Hargadon adds about working in costume design. And it’s not just a craft.

“I approach it from the chess itself,” says “The Queen’s Gambit” costume designer Gabriele Binder about how the game at the heart of the series influenced her work. She wanted to create “something structural, something geometrical, it’s black and white,” but in a “subtle” way that didn’t overemphasize the references. “She is chess, so we go with a very straight and very minimalist and also contrasting look to tell this story with the costumes.” We talked with Binder as part of our “Meet the Experts” panel with Emmy nominated costume designers. Watch our interview above.

This story about The Queen’s Gambit first appeared in the Limited Series & TV Movies issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
The Set-Up: American chess whiz Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy), rising like a phoenix from the ashes after battling lifelong drug and alcohol addiction, bucks up and heads to Russia for the match of her life. The tense showdown, which includes one dramatic adjournment, leads to (spoiler alert) her triumphant victory against Vasily Borgov (Marcin Dorociński) at the 1968 Moscow Invitational Chess Tournament.
Four behind-the-scenes experts involved with writer-director Scott Frank’s blockbuster Netflix limited series spoke to TheWrap about shooting the heart-racing battle of wills.
The Production Design

“This sequence looks a little different than the rest of the series. It’s very solemn and churchlike: lots of blacks, whites, grays. We had to illustrate visually that Beth was playing for dear life. There are no bright colors anymore,...

The release of “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix last year made us all want to live in the 1960s chess world Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) inhabited. Now, we’re learning a bit more about how costume designer Gabriele Binder conveyed a woman coming into her own identity through the costumes she wears.
As Binder and Taylor-Joy discuss, much of what Beth wears is her attempt to not just say who she is, but inhabit the changing world of femininity at the time. When Beth starts out in the orphanage, she’s swathed in grays and dirt browns that’s only enhanced by the same dull wardrobe Alma Wheatley (Marielle Heller) buys for her.
That all changes once Beth wins her first chess tournament, but because she has no idea what styles are in fashion her first purchase is direct off the mannequin. “She thinks if it’s on the mannequin it must be good,...

For some of the top costume designers in television and film, one thing has changed their jobs dramatically over the last two decades: the internet.
“How it can enhance your work just daily, your resources and your research. That’s been such a major game-changer that plays in the background of it all,” costume designer Jennifer Bryan (“Genius: Aretha”) tells Gold Derby during the Meet the Experts: Costume Designers panel. “It’s such a huge leapfrog enhancement that didn’t exist at the beginning of our careers and now we just embrace them.”
“It’s so fascinating,” costume designer Signe Sejlund (“The Undoing”) adds. “The world has become really small in a sense and the fact you can source a dress or buy a dress from a woman in Hungary and you are in New York and you can ship the things, that’s amazing. To find those little pieces all over the world.

Anya Taylor-Joy was so connected to Beth Harmon that after production on “The Queen’s Gambit” came to an end, she was given the chance to keep some of her character’s wardrobe.
“I was just overwhelmed by that kindness because I really wanted to keep a bit of Beth with me,” Taylor-Joy told Stephen Colbert during an interview earlier this year. “However, the show is so successful, those clothes are currently in a museum. So, I do not know when I will get my clothes back.”
Focused on the life of a child chess prodigy navigating her life as a young adult in the 1960s, “The Queen’s Gambit” set viewership records for Netflix while simultaneously reinvigorating chess for an entire generation.

“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Mulan” and “Promising Young Woman” have been named the best-dressed films of 2020 at the Costume Designers Guild Awards, which were presented in a virtual ceremony on Tuesday evening.

Netflix has confirmed “The Queen’s Gambit” is its biggest scripted limited series in history, launching to a record-breaking 62 million households over its first 28 days of release, the streamer claims. That opening number figure puts “The Queen’s Gambit” in the same league as some of Netflix’s biggest original movie debuts, including “The Kissing Booth 2” and “The Irishman.” The Scott Frank-created series starring Anya Taylor-Joy has also proven to be a hit overseas, cracking the streamer’s top 10 list in 92 countries and ranking number one in 63 countries, including the UK, Argentina, Israel, and South Africa. It’s also inspired sales of chessboards to skyrocket.
“I am both delighted and dazed by the response,” Frank said in a statement. “It’s just all way beyond what any of us could have imagined.” But speaking for my fellow producers and the entire cast and crew of the show, every one of whom...

In order to be a truly great chess player — not just a good one, but one of the greats — you need to possess a canny combination of concentration, acuity, and nerve. What seems like a simple board of 64 squares quickly becomes a battlefield; the key to winning the ensuing fight is being able to analyze and anticipate an opponent’s moves without your face betraying a single calculation. Chess is such a mentally punishing, esoteric game — which makes it extremely hard to portray onscreen with half the thrill it might have in reality, especially if the viewer doesn’t know all the rules. But “The Queen’s Gambit” manages to personalize the game and its players thanks to clever storytelling and, in Anya Taylor-Joy, a lead actor so magnetic that when she stares down the camera lens, her flinty glare threatens to cut right through it.
