Costume designer Ann Foley revealed that the most difficult costume to design was the Mission Suit for Hollow Earth. T She stated "This costume was one of the first things I started working on with director Adam Wingard. Adam and I were committed to exploring a new idea that did not mimic the superhero costumes and space suits that have been seen before in other films. The Monarch team is going into the unknown environment of Hollow Earth and so we wanted to imagine a suit that would offer them both protection from the potentially hostile environment and something that audiences might not expect. Adam and I also wanted to ensure that the fabric for the Monarch team suits had dynamic movement and a singular reflection of light. By using 3D fabric printing I experimented with different techniques and inks until I landed on a red ink that was printed onto a fabric with a black base, and then layered a copper pattern on top of that. The result is that when the suit moves, it changes color, depending on how the light hits it. It was an incredibly rewarding creative process that resulted in a fabric that is specific to the costume and not seen in any other film. To complete the Monarch team costumes I added a climbing harness over the suit that we modified for the film and a riggers belt with a variety of tools that might be needed in Hollow Earth." She also revealed it's the costume she's most proud of but she stated "I also love the costumes for Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Madison Russell. We get to see the important progression Maddie has made starting as a remarkable young girl in Godzilla: King of the Monsters and evolving into an empowered young woman in Godzilla vs. Kong. There is a strength that I hoped to communicate through her clothing. I wanted to show that idea, specifically with Maddie's jacket. I had this idea that it came out of her mother's closet and that Maddie is continuing her mother's mission to save the Titans. It's a really wonderful character piece for her and I wanted it to be her mission outfit. Every single one of the characters is on a mission in this film -- Maddie is on a mission to save Godzilla and Jia is on a mission to save Kong. And then, of course, much of the rest of the cast is in their actual mission suits as they go down into Hollow Earth."
