Pearl

Pearl (2022) / X (2022)

The lore

A 1918 Texas farm girl who dreams of stardom, and whose repressed rage boils over into murder; decades later she returns as the elderly killer in X.

The look

  • Blue 1910s farm dress
  • Blonde braided pin curls
  • Pitchfork or axe

Behind the screams

Pearl was shot in secret in New Zealand during the making of X. Its famously long, unbroken closing smile has become a cinema meme.
