Stella is a harder character to dress. Most directors would wear smart casual clothes to a casting audition however Stella isn't like most directors.
In the script, Lauren refers to Stella's outfit: '...you've got this student top, blazer jacket thing going on'. So I will dress Stella in a blazer.
Most of the pictures of Stella on the internet are of this woman in the University of Cambridge production. If you didn't know what play this was a picture of you would never guess she was a director: this costume shows Stella is not at all like other directors. I would choose the colour black over white: white has connotations of purity and innocence which doesn't suit the character. Red is a good colour for Stella too because if gives connotations of lust and danger.
I plan to dress Stella more like this actress: a blazer jacket with a red top underneath. I don't want Stella to look too out of place as a director because I want her manipulations of Lauren to come as a shock to the audience.
