West End Alternate Costumes: Naomi Alade and Hannah Lowther

We’ve now officially seen Naomi Alade and Hannah Lowther’s debuts in alt costumes!! As discussed previously, this cast is wearing re-purposed alternate costumes originally made for past queens.

Naomi is wearing what was originally Paisley Billings’ top, peplum, and pants. The top has some modifications, including shortening the length for Naomi.

Hannah is wearing what was originally Danielle Rose’s top and peplum. Both the top and peplum have some modifications, including shortening the top for Hannah and adjusting the split in the center of the peplum.

She is likely wearing Danielle’s pants, but it’s harder to prove that and possible she’s wearing another pair instead.

Gabriella Stylianou will get her own post.

I was right!!!

Since both of Erin’s tracks are split between Milly and Lorren, this should mean that the 24/25 cast is using the scrambled alt cover system!

With this, Lorren’s Boleyn redebut, Izzy’s Cleves debut and 5th queen, Hannah getting another Boleyn show, and HCD’s last 2024 show (she said so on a live), it’s been a very exciting day for SwAlts!

Six WE Possible 3 Cover Costume Scenarios

With the latest announcement that Six West End has started rehearsing their alts on their third covers as of this week, here’s my take on what the costume scenario may look like:

A major assumption I have is with the knowledge that Hannah Lowther will be covering Boleyn, I think it’s safe to assume that Gabriella will be covering one of Hannah’s 1st covers and Naomi will be covering one of Gabriella’s (to avoid overlap, but let’s be real it’s Six and sometimes logic is lovingly thrown out the window).

So by this logic, Gabriella would be covering Howard or Parr and Naomi would be covering Aragon or Seymour fr

If they pick up an additional cover, it’s anyone’s guess if they’ll also cover the same alt’s other first cover or not (I.e., Hannah covering B/C, Naomi’s first covers, or A/B or B/S, one of Naomi’s and one of Gabriella’s) as both have happened in the past.

Scenario 1: Alts only ever learn one additional cover and receive principal costumes:

L-R: Hannah Lowther as Boleyn, Gabriella Stylianou as Howard, Gabriella Stylianou as Parr, Naomi Alade as Aragon, Naomi Alade as Seymour

While this is definitely a possibility and aligns with their push for standardization of costumes, I feel like if they’re going to commission 3 new costumes to be made, they may as well bite the bullet and put the effort toward alternate costumes to act as an insurance policy toward any emergency scenario that may arise

Scenario 2: Alts will receive an alternate costume:

Hannah Lowther as Boleyn

Gabriella Stylianou as Howard

Gabriella Stylianou as Parr

Naomi Alade as Aragon

Naomi Alade as Seymour

This feels the most likely scenario to me, but it does go against their recent push for costume standardization. Whether or not they learn any additional roles, providing one additional costume that allows them to potentially go on for a role they don’t cover in an emergency (which we all know Six is famous for)

Scenario 3: Alts will wear band costumes for any role other than their 1st cover

L-R: Hannah Lowther as Boleyn, Gabriella Stylianou as Howard, Gabriella Stylianou as Parr, Naomi Alade as Aragon, Naomi Alade as Seymour

I think we can all agree this is the least-ideal of the options, but it is the most cost-efficient. Like scenario 2, this allows them to go on for a role they don’t cover in an emergency, but let’s be honest this is the less fun version of Scenario 2.

I have a couple other scenarios in my head and will update as further needed, but these are the main three directions I see them going with one additional cover

Costume Updates: 2023 West End Cast Change

A few notes before I start: - Kayleigh McKnight (Seymour) is currently injured. Gabriella Stylianou (alt A/S) is temporarily performing in her place, including in the preview footage. - As a general rule of thumb, Six has slowly been standardizing the costumes for both US and UK. Most of that has been changes to the UK system/style to make them more in line with the US changes initially made for Broadway (a few changes have made their way to the US from the UK though). There's been a steady rollout of updates over the period post-lockdowns, but with this cast change most of the major holdouts have been changed at once. I'll get to that in a moment. - Obviously it's very early in the run and we haven't seen all the costumes yet, particularly for alts. I'll continue to update as we do.

Costumes (credits below) - Nikki Bentley's Aragon costume has had a few construction changes to be more in line with the US costumes. No major design differences, though. Not sure on maker yet. - Thảo Therése Nguyễn has the darker green which has been standardized for the last few UK casts. Not sure on maker yet. - Gabriella was previously with Norwegian Cruise Lines as part of Bliss 2.0, but as expected she did get a new costume. Her corset is in the US style/design rather than the UK style (info here, here). I'm not sure who made it and very much wondering if the corset only could be a US-make, but don't have enough information yet to know if that could be the case. I'm also waiting to see what Kayleigh's looks like. - Reca Oakley (Cleves) is another former NCL queen, but as expected she also did get a new costume. It was made by Paul Aspinall. - Inez Budd's Howard skirt has been changed to the US-style construction. This has smaller panels (rather than the old NCL/UK style; post here). However, unlike the US skirts, the vertical stud lines still go all the way to the bottom hem. Per usual, it was made by Ella Dancewear. - Janiq Charles is a standard Parr style, made by Ashleigh Cherry Costumes per usual. - Otherwise, the costumes seem to be in line with all recent UK standardization. - The alts' costumes should match the changes made for these principals.

Wigs/HMU - Nikki Bentley has an auburn tone with a side part and doesn't seem to have bleached/ombre highlights. Curled bob, a little longer than some we've seen in the past. It's a full wig. - Thảo has dark roots with a silvery-toned bleached wig. It's a long wig rather than some of the recent bobs. It's a full wig. - Gabriella has a side part and darker, honey blonde tone. It's pretty mid-range for Seymour wigs but is shorter than some of the recent UK. It's a full wig. - Janiq Charles has the curls pulled over to the side. It's a full wig. - Otherwise, the principal wigs are pretty standard. - No pictures of Naomi Alade in costume yet, but I am expecting her to have braids for all or most of her roles. - We've also seen quite a bit of the makeup so far, which I'll make a post about in the coming days.

Boots @lightleckrereins already made posts about a lot of this (here, here) but for easy access: - The cast seems to be standardized to a shorter heel than prior casts, like the shorter heel Chlöe Hart and Natalie Pilkington both got later in the 22-23 UK Tour run. - They've introduced the double height boots that the US productions have had for a few years now (explanation of the difference here). However, they're still sticking to the regular UK-style boot body with crystals rather than switching to the US-style lattice and studs. Right now it looks like Nikki Bentley (Aragon) and Janiq Charles (Parr) have the double height, while Reca Oakley (Cleves) has the regular Cleves thigh highs and everyone else seems to have regular single height. Of course, that post includes Gabriella Stylianou rather than Kayleigh McKnight so no good look at Kayleigh or other alts yet. - All the boots seem to have interchangeable straps. We first saw these with the US and then UK alts - it allows them to have one pair of boots with a monochrome silver heel and then just trade out their straps depending on which costume they're wearing. This is the first time we've seen that for principals; Sofia talked more about why this change might be happening in the post I linked at the start of this section.

Alt costumes - We've seen a silver alt costume in progress that should be for Meg Dixon-Brasil. (Made by Paul Aspinall per usual) - We've also seen part of a pink alt costume. It could feasibly be either Natalie Pilkington's or it could be one for Hannah Lowther. Judging from Hannah's makeup, she does seem to have their standard makeup pieces for pink alt. - Naomi Alade has orange palette and glitter, so she presumably has the orange alt costume. - We still don't know what costume Natalie Pilkington will have. She has her old principal Seymour/Parr and pink alt system from the 2022-23 UK Tour, and during the 2021-22 UK Tour she had a black alt costume that was a mishmash of old and new pieces. I'm expecting that she'll wear a black alt costume (either entirely or mostly new), but it's possible that she reuses her old pink alt instead (it has been a while since she's worn black alt and most of it was already old). I talked in more depth about some of those possibilities here.

-------------------------- First row for each queen: junka_0.0 Second row for each queen: elliexboleyn (Nikki and Reca), cassie.zhao_ (Thảo), mattstacel (Gabriella, Janiq), Georgia.ccooper (Inez), Boots: crystalledbyjane
