Incredible double-dunk of a production choice to dress him as both a bird associated with cowardice and an antiquated toy known to cause anxiety.
Screenshot of ew.com article detailing Rudy Giuliani’s recent car accident and related injuries, with a promo photo of Giuliani in an elaborate chicken version of a jack in the box costume - an astounding double-dunk of a production choice to dress him as both a bird associated with cowardice and an antiquated toy known to cause anxiety. Caption of photo reads: “Rudy Giuliani is 'Jack in the Box' on 'The Masked Singer'.” The copy in the next paragraph reads: “Giuliani served as mayor of New York City from 1994-2001. After a failed presidential campaign in 2008, Giuliani closely allied himself with Donald Trump, briefly serving as an informal cybersecurity adviser during The Apprentice star's first term, and eventually joining his legal team.”

Isabella Rossellini as Lisle von Rhuman in Death Becomes Her (1992). The scene where all she’s wearing is necklaces. You know the one.

Major update
Torso of a blonde woman wearing a white T-shirt that parodies the album art for Sonic Youth’s “Goo” except it says “Harris • Walz •” at the top, “2024” at the bottom, and “I was unburdened by what has been. It was all whirlwind, heat, and flash. Within a week I picked my VP and hit the road.”
