Your favourite television characters don’t just dress themselves – the teams behind the lavish wardrobes and luxurious designer clothes are responsible for the stellar outfits you model your next-day outfits after. Costume designers go beyond creating the clothes seen on screen, and simultaneously act as stylists, on-set tailors and to some of us, behind-the-scenes paparazzi when they update unseen episodes or dressing room antics on social media.

So from Downtown Abbey to American Horror Story and even Scream Queens, we’ve rounded up the Instagram accounts of 8 costume designers in the gallery above for your viewing pleasure. If you’re sensitive to spoiler alerts, we suggest you sit this one out!
