Rembert stated, “Someone flew all the way across the world, probably like six or seven days ago but it is so intricate. It took so much manpower to create in two weeks. It is made of leather. We put embroidery on top of it, super intricate embroidery. The heel is still a high heel because Mary can run in heels. So I was confident about her wearing heels because she was performing on a rooftop. Jason said when they saw the costume in person, there were like WOW!
