Simply Halston | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Kelly Bishop holds onto co-star Ewan McGregor‘s arm while filming their upcoming Netflix series Simply Halston on Thursday afternoon (November 5) in New York City.

The 49-year-old Star Wars actor transformed into the fashion designer in an all black outfit with dark sunglasses while the 76-year-old Gilmore Girls actress kept things chic in a fur-trimmed, red coat paired with a fur cap while they filmed a scene in Central Park.

Deadline reports that the series follows the designer “as he leverages his single, invented name into a worldwide fashion empire that’s synonymous with luxury, sex, status and fame, literally defining the era he lives in, 1970’s and ‘80’s New York — until a hostile takeover forces him to battle for control of his most precious asset… the name Halston itself.”

As of right now, it’s unclear who Kelly is playing in the limited series.

Simply Halston also stars Rory Culkin as Joel Scumacher, Rebecca Dayan as Elsa Peretti, David Pittu as Joe Eula, and Krysta Rodriguez as Liza Minnelli.

Ewan McGregor is taking all the safety precautions as he films scenes for his upcoming limited series Simply Halston in New York City on Monday afternoon (November 2).

The 49-year-old actor wore a long black trench coat as he shot a few scenes in Central Park with co-star Rebecca Dayan, who wore a long faux fur coat herself.

Ewan and Rebecca both wore face masks and face shields in between filming their scenes.

Simply Halston is based on the rise to fame story of fashion designer Halston.

The series will focus on the designer as he leverages his single, invented name into a worldwide fashion empire that’s synonymous with luxury, sex, status and fame, literally defining the era he lives in, 1970’s and ‘80’s New York — until a hostile takeover forces him to battle for control of his most precious asset…the name Halston itself.

If you didn’t know, Halston actually designed the famous pillbox hat that Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband’s presidential inauguration in 1961.

Just last week, Ewan was spotted out in a sharp white suit as he filmed more scenes for the limited series.

Simply Halston – created by Ryan Murphy – follows the life of the celebrated fashion designer, who rose to prominence in the 1960s.

Ryan shared a couple teasers for the series earlier this week.

“After a long 20 years of twists and turns, the limited series HALSTON starring the fantastic Ewan McGregor began production today,” Ryan wrote. “I am so proud of our director and leader Dan Minahan, and Christine Vachon of Killer Films. I am thrilled to be producing this great and meaningful show with them and Alexis Martin Woodall and Pamela Koffler.”

Other stars in the show include Rory Culkin as Joel Scumacher, Rebecca Dayan as Elsa Peretti, David Pittu as Joe Eula, and Krysta Rodriguez as Liza Minnelli.
