For example, Blanch is seen wearing high-quality, fancy clothing that presents her as someone with a materialistic taste for upper-class living. In the comparison Stella appears wearing common, everyday clothes that do not appear to be brand new or of high value. Stella's clothing style presents her character as the everyday everyday girl that everyone knows. Stella, unlike Blanch, merges with the world of entertainment. The same can be said of Stanley and his clothes. Stanley appears numerous times in casual or business attire which paints him as a working class man doing his part in society, once again as Stella blends into the world of the play. By having the characters represent their social status through their clothing, it is possible to see that Blanch who appears richer and more robust with materialistic treasures is the upper class clashing with the lower class members of the play. Thus creating a battle between the social classes where the upper class, Blanch, is the villain due to his ability to appear better than the lower class, Stella and Stanley. Benedict Andrews' production through costumes altered how audiences viewed characters as antagonists or protagonists.
