Hannah Grose’s wardrobe throughout Bly Manor leans heavily into refined late-eighties tailoring, built around crisp silhouettes, jewel tones, and deliberate accessories. Everything she wears looks collected, deliberate, and practical for someone running a large country estate, which makes her outfits approachable to assemble from real-world garments.
Most of her screen time centers on two distinct outfit pairings. The first pairs a fitted red knit with structured plaid, while the second leans into fluid jewel-toned satin alongside pleated patterns. Deciding which direction to take comes down to which color palette you prefer, but both share the same foundation of structured waists, modest necklines, and bold gold jewelry.
The Red Turtleneck and Tartan Ensemble
Her boldest and most recognizable look pairs a vibrant scarlet ribbed knit with a pleated wool-style midi skirt. The sweater sits high on the neck with a close, clean fit through the arms and torso. The Red Turtleneck Sweater handles this base cleanly, especially if you tuck it smoothly into your waistband so the fabric doesn’t bunch.
Over the sweater, Hannah wears a dramatic cinch belt that pulls the waist tight and breaks up the solid red block. The Wide Red Cinch Belt gives you that defined hourglass shape without needing custom tailoring. Position it directly over the seam where the sweater meets the skirt to anchor the high-waisted proportion.
For the lower half, Hannah wears a below-the-knee pleated skirt in muted tones. The Grey Tartan Midi Skirt provides the right traditional heritage contrast against the bright crimson top. An A-line or pleated cut with substantial drape hangs cleanly and moves well while walking.
The Burgundy Satin Alternative
Hannah’s alternate look swaps out the heavy knitwear for a softer, dressier texture in deep wine and jewel tones. It keeps the same tailored structure around the waist while feeling slightly more formal.
The top is a collared or drape-front blouse with long sleeves, buttoned high at the throat. A Burgundy Satin Blouse matches this look well, offering a slight sheen that catches light differently than the matte knit. Because satin shifts easily, tucking it firmly into a structured waistband is essential to keep the line tidy.
She pairs this blouse with a patterned midi skirt featuring vertical lines in rich, complementary tones. The Multicolor Striped Midi Skirt mirrors that earthy, vintage eighties color palette. Aim for a hemline that falls mid-calf so the proportions stay balanced with the high collar.
Jewelry and Signature Details
Hannah rarely appears on screen without her specific jewelry pieces, and they provide instant visual anchors regardless of which clothing variation you choose.
At her neck, she wears a delicate pendant on a thin gold chain. The Gold Cross Necklace rests flat against the collarbone on open-neck blouses or sits cleanly over the front of the red turtleneck. Keeping the chain relatively short prevents it from swinging or getting caught on fabric.
Her earrings are equally distinct. The Gold Twisted Double Hoop Earrings mimic the thick, dimensional metalwork popular in late-eighties accessories. They frame the face prominently, especially given Hannah’s close-cropped hair.
Hair and Makeup Styling
Hannah is portrayed with a closely shaved head, which gives her neck and jawline an exceptionally sharp, sculptural profile. If you have short hair or a buzz cut, you already have the silhouette ready to go. If you are wearing a bald cap, take the time to blend the edges thoroughly with alcohol-activated makeup or foundation that matches your skin tone, setting it with translucent powder to eliminate shine under convention lighting.
Her makeup remains understated and immaculate: a natural matte complexion, groomed brows, and a warm berry or neutral lip that complements her deep red tops. Finish with simple flat leather loafers or low-heeled dress shoes in brown or black to match the practical demands of an English housekeeper.
