Cole walks us through styling the sitcom’s chic cast.

Zoey (Yara Shahidi)

OnBlack-ish, Zoey’s style trended toward preppy.

“You want your audience to be able to relate to that character.”

“I think she looks really sexy here.

Even though it’s boyish, it’s one of my favorite looks on her.”

“With his closet, we recycled a lot,” she says.

“I don’t like to do that.”

“His [look] was kind of sexy and soft, but it’s kind of sloppy.”

“We still gave her short skirts and tight pants.

Byron Cohen/Freeform

We didn’t want to make this character boring.

She gives [Zoey] the [middle finger].

She’s not a prissy.”
