</div></div></div><div class="label label-color px-label-bottom-right-warning">SEO Warning</div><div class="label label-color px-label-bottom-right">Layout Priority</div></div></div></blockquote><p>After the widespread success of the mega-blockbuster <a href=https://pastebn.online/story/entertainment/movies/2022/05/12/tom-cruise-top-gun-maverick-review/9733774002/ target=_blank><em>Top Gun: Maverick</em></a>, it feels like we’re at the beginning of an epic war film resurgence. Director J. D. Dillard’s <em>Devotion</em> is a <a href=https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/11/devotion-movie-review-jesse-brown-jonathan-majors-glen-powell target=_blank>powerful examination of the brotherhood</a> that exists in the military. Inspired by the true story of the nation’s first Black naval pilot, Jesse Brown (played by Jonathan Majors), and his wingman, Tom Hudner (Glen Powell), the film explores the complexity of friendship, race, masculinity and nationalism during the time of the Korean War. </p><p><span class=marker><a href="https://www.paramountplus.com/?cbsclick=1lMQDwWh9xyIUEo3iIVxL0UhUkAwEKT33X%3Apz00&vndid=50053&clickid=50053&sharedid=&ftag=PPM-09-10aag1f&dclid=COT3_IyowvwCFfTi9QIdD8kJgg" target=_blank>Stream Devotion on Paramount+</a></span></p><p><strong><em>So, what are we wearing? </em></strong><a href=http://eepurl.com/hRzW3j target=_blank><em>Subscribe to Reviewed’s weekly Style Check newsletter</em></a><em> to get the answers from stylish people.</em></p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner fluid bottom lazy class=spacer-large min-height=390 outstream></partner-banner><partner-inline util-module-path=elements/partner class=spacer-large placement=native-article_link sizes="[[300, 250], [3, 3]]" min-height=250 fluid outstream></partner-inline><p>Since debuting in theaters this past November (and now available to purchase on digital platform and streaming on <a href="https://www.paramountplus.com/?cbsclick=1lMQDwWh9xyIUEo3iIVxL0UhUkAwEKT33X%3Apz00&vndid=50053&clickid=50053&sharedid=&ftag=PPM-09-10aag1f&dclid=COT3_IyowvwCFfTi9QIdD8kJgg" target=_blank>Paramount+</a>), we haven't stopped thinking about the aviator style the film showcases. From utilitarian jumpsuits to <a href=https://reviewed.usatoday.com/style/features/bomber-jacket-history-military-wear-civilian target=_blank>bomber jackets</a>, <em>Devotion</em> shows us why military-inspired styles are timeless classics that don’t need updating. We spoke with <em>Devotion</em> costume designer Deirdra Govan about her experience outfitting this incredible film, and how to add a bit of classic aviator style to our own wardrobes.</p><h2>Recreating true-to-form naval pilot uniforms</h2><media-image image-set="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/552e9d5a-e60b-4055-8bfb-001319eae49c-20230109__devotioninline3.png bestCrop, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/552e9d5a-e60b-4055-8bfb-001319eae49c-20230109__devotioninline3.png?crop=2245,1684,x600,y0 4:3, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/552e9d5a-e60b-4055-8bfb-001319eae49c-20230109__devotioninline3.png?crop=1266,1688,x1050,y0 3:4, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/552e9d5a-e60b-4055-8bfb-001319eae49c-20230109__devotioninline3.png?crop=2987,1681,x12,y0 16:9" image-alt="Jonathan Majors as Jesse Brown in Sony Pictures’ ‘Devotion.’" credit="Reviewed / Eli Ade / Sony Pictures Entertainment" caption="Jonathan Majors as Jesse Brown in Sony Pictures’ ‘Devotion.’" orientation=horizontal class=spacer-large util-module-path=elements/media></media-image><p>As with any period film, costuming <em>Devotion</em> began with detailed fashion history research for Govan and her team, including examining what both civilians and military members alike were wearing in the 1950s—a time when communities were still recovering from the limited resources of World War II. The majority of the film shows Brown and Hudner wearing their naval uniforms, bomber jackets, flight suits and dress whites. Many original versions of these uniforms are not available today, so Govan was tasked with recreating reproductions of the garments.</p><partner-inline util-module-path=elements/partner placement=native-article_link sizes="[[300, 250], [3, 3]]" min-height=250 fluid outstream></partner-inline><cta-atoms-container-inline util-module-path=elements/cta class=spacer-large></cta-atoms-container-inline><p>“I worked with military costumers to fill in the gaps of things that I did not know. All of the details are as close to the original as possible,” Govan says. “We actually found an original life vest and built a replica based off of that for the bomber jackets.” Govan also points out that utility is built into military uniforms, with each pocket serving a specific function—a detail that she included in the costumes for this project.</p><p>Speaking about Jonathan Majors, who <a href=https://pastebn.online/story/entertainment/movies/2022/11/21/devotion-jonathan-majors-creed-marvel-kang/10718390002/ target=_blank>stars as Jesse Brown</a> in the film, it was important for the actor to walk in Brown’s shoes in order to better understand the role. “When I got his shoes after they were made, I gave [Jonathan] his boots to walk around in,” says Govan. “I gave him his bomber jacket after we aged it, dyed it and distressed it. For a period of time, he was just wearing it to grasp and embody the character. Anything we do in the fitting room is a collaboration between what the character is, what the director’s vision is, what the look of the film is and what I’m doing in costume fittings with them.” </p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner fluid bottom lazy class=spacer-large min-height=600 outstream momentum></partner-banner><media-image image-set="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/91c1d326-dbe1-4d7e-9ef5-46aa86572a74-20230109__devotioninline1.png bestCrop, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/91c1d326-dbe1-4d7e-9ef5-46aa86572a74-20230109__devotioninline1.png?crop=2245,1684,x377,y0 4:3, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/91c1d326-dbe1-4d7e-9ef5-46aa86572a74-20230109__devotioninline1.png?crop=1266,1688,x1500,y0 3:4, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/91c1d326-dbe1-4d7e-9ef5-46aa86572a74-20230109__devotioninline1.png?crop=2987,1681,x6,y0 16:9" image-alt="For classic aviator style, look no further than a jumpsuit and shearling jacket." credit="Reviewed / Wilson Leather / Banana Republic" caption="For classic aviator style, look no further than a jumpsuit and shearling jacket." orientation=horizontal class=spacer-large util-module-path=elements/media></media-image><p>“Just because it’s not a grandiose fashion film, doesn’t mean that military fashion should be overlooked,” says Govan. “It’s replicated several times on the runway. We can go through cycles and then come back again, and I’m pretty sure we may see aviation fashion in the near future.” In recent years, jumpsuits have steadily gained popularity for their one-and-done ease. But while styles have been flamboyant and fashion-forward, designers are also paring down their designs to reflect more classic silhouettes.</p><partner-inline util-module-path=elements/partner class=spacer-large placement=native-article_link sizes="[[300, 250], [3, 3]]" min-height=250 fluid outstream></partner-inline><p>►<strong>Related:</strong> <a href=https://reviewed.usatoday.com/style/features/how-find-right-jumpsuit-occasion target=_blank>It’s time to add a jumpsuit to your wardrobe.

Available in a classic faded khaki, this jumpsuit has all the hallmarks of the classic style—a generous fit, sturdy cotton twill, brass hardware and many utilitarian pockets throughout. Wear it with a solid t-shirt underneath, and feel free to leave a few buttons open to make the look more casual. Add a pair of chukka boots for a fit that is military-inspired without being too on-the-nose.

D. wanted to tell is that it was minimal,” says Govan. “Not a lot of bright colors, not a lot of ostentatious detailing. I really leaned on texture and masculine identities and identifiers—leather, canvas, rope—details that felt natural.” This is similar to how Govan designed the civilian wardrobe for Jesse Brown. “If you observe how Jesse Brown stands, there is an aloofness or removal that protects him,” says Govan. “Clothing is a protective layer, both literally and figuratively.” In an emotionally heightened scene in the film where Jesse tells his wife Daisy (played by Christina Jackson) that he is being deployed, subtle details convey ideas of vulnerability. The texture and design details of his shirt and the motifs on Daisy’s dress give a simple power to the characters, allowing the softness of the moment to shine through.</p><media-image image-set="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/e1174bbd-ec4c-4475-a55a-6aafe8b1ddcc-20230109__devotioninline2.png bestCrop, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/e1174bbd-ec4c-4475-a55a-6aafe8b1ddcc-20230109__devotioninline2.png?crop=2245,1684,x450,y0 4:3, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/e1174bbd-ec4c-4475-a55a-6aafe8b1ddcc-20230109__devotioninline2.png?crop=1266,1688,x1500,y0 3:4, https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2023/01/11/USAT/e1174bbd-ec4c-4475-a55a-6aafe8b1ddcc-20230109__devotioninline2.png?crop=2987,1681,x12,y0 16:9" image-alt="Recreate Jesse Brown’s carefully considered yet casual downtime look with vintage-inspired pants, timeless sunglasses, and a plaid wool jacket." credit="Reviewed / Banana Republic / Ray-Ban / Express" caption="Recreate Jesse Brown’s carefully considered yet casual downtime look with vintage-inspired pants, timeless sunglasses, and a plaid wool jacket." orientation=horizontal class=spacer-large util-module-path=elements/media></media-image><p>One of the standout style moments in Brown’s civilian wardrobe is a checked wool jacket. Every design element of this jacket was essential to Govan. She explains, “It had the colors of the earth. It had the colors of sand and grass. It had all of these natural earth-tone details, which connected Jesse to where he was born in Mississippi. The red clay of the south is an element that I’m bringing in to show how the color connects to the character.”</p><partner-inline util-module-path=elements/partner class=spacer-large placement=native-article_link sizes="[[300, 250], [3, 3]]" min-height=250 fluid outstream></partner-inline><p>The <a href="https://go.skimresources.com?id=83224X1595658&xs=1&xcust=USA-LST-STY-&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.express.com%2Fclothing%2Fmen%2Fplaid-knit-shirt-jacket%2Fpro%2F01760300%2Fcolor%2FObsession%2520Blue%2Fe%2Fregular%2F" target=_blank>Plaid Knit Shirt Jacket</a> from Express replicates the style in a lightweight shacket version.
