Marcia Cross Instagram – This compliment really goes to the uber talented and equally divinely patient and classy @cate.adair who dressed all of us so brilliantly. It was an endless job and I am eternally grateful to her- and of course Karo, Amanda, Kathy and many more.

With her witty one-liners, meticulous style and comically stoic demeanor, it’s easy to see why “Desperate Housewives” Bree Van de Kamp (played by @reallymarcia) became a fan favorite among viewers when it debuted 20 years ago today.
Viewers first meet Bree, with her sleek red bob and perfectly tweezed eyebrows, as a stay-at-home wife and mother, a character heavily inspired by the mom of series creator Marc Cherry. Wardrobe-wise, Bree’s sports sweater sets and knee-length skirts (often teamed with a pearl necklace) were seemingly inspired by both former First Lady Nancy Reagan and “Sex and the City” (and @justlikethatmax’s) Charlotte York. However, it doesn’t take long for Bree’s Stepford Wives façade to unravel.
“I think perhaps Bree’s evolution was more noticed because she was so tightly wound when we first meet her,” costume designer @cate.adair told CNN over email. Not only is Cross playing a character, Bree is arguably playing one, too.
