How Do You Dress a Nazi-Fighting Nun?

In real life and on TV, nuns are not a one-size fits all outfit group.

The traditional black uniform has been the go-to attire for on-screen sisters on TV shows from The Young Pope to American Horror Story. Not every character plays by the convent style guidelines, as Kristin Chenoweth’s eye-catching teal garb in Pushing Daisies and Alba Baptista’s battle-ready Warrior Nun showed. Now, Betty Gilpin joins this illustrious list of women wearing a habit in the brilliantly bonkers Mrs. Davis. There is a new blue nun in town.

When Mrs. Davis premiered at SXSW in Austin last month, nuns dressed in similar attire to that worn by the sisters of the (fictional) Our Lady of the Immaculate Valley convent were on hand to spread the word of the new Peacock genre-bending series from Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof. In the globe-spanning venture, Gilpin plays the blue habit-wearing Sister Simone, who goes from making jam in Reno to taking on a powerful AI system, Mrs. Davis. Simone is also tasked with hunting down the actual Holy Grail, crossing paths with Mrs. Davis’ acolytes, secret societies, school teachers, scientists, Nazis, and a blast from her past.
