- "an amazing dress"; "a stunning dress" - VanArendonk;
"sort of bubblegum pink"; "I loved that one" - de Gaye
- Influence of costume designer:
"in the script it says she’s wearing a big poofy dress""it’s a big opportunity for her to do a sort of very girly thing, but undercut it by putting it with boots. That came from me more.""Because it’s a very strong statement on camera, there was some discussion about it and whether to go a bit more classical. But in the end, they did go with it, and I’m glad they did because I thought it worked well."
- Subversive:
"I thought that Molly Goddard stuff was just perfect for that more insouciant, putting two fingers up, rather subversive [moment]""it’s a big opportunity for her to do a sort of very girly thing, but undercut it by putting it with boots."
- Comer:
"you couldn’t put that dress on any actress and bring it off. [Comer]’s got the kind of chutzpah to wear those things with just the right amount of nonchalance."

"billowing, bubblegum-pink, Molly Goddard gown is Villanelle at her elusive, teasing best"; "might look flimsy, but it is designed to take up space" - Bramley- Subversive:
- "It is a bold outfit choice for the psychiatrist’s couch."
"Any misguided expectation of ultra-femininity is undercut by her choice of Balenciaga leather boots[; she is throwing all manner of curveballs in the direction of those trying to psychoanalyse her]"

"Rarely do you see a character whirling through Paris in a shocking pink Molly Goddard dress"; "Her wardrobe matches her flights of fancy."; "[De Gaye is] finding innovative ways to include contemporary luxury items" - Yotka- Subversive:
"Villanelle, played by Jodie Comer, stands in Paris’s Place Vendôme in that very outfit, rivaling Rihanna in statement-making style""the Balenciaga boots provided a tough contrast""I thought Molly Goddard’s stuff was just perfect for it because it has that subversive streak""It’s like she’s sticking two fingers up and saying, ‘Okay, I’m going to dress like a little girl and act like a mad little girl.’ She’s quite subversive. I thought that would be great to use with the color and the mixture of the extremely feminine, almost to the slightly perverse point, with those boots, which are a good mix."- "Villanelle’s hiding-in-plain-sight proposition is one that, for the fashion-obsessed among us, makes the cunning show all the more captivating."
- Influence of costume designer:
"bought directly from the designer""What it said in the script is she’s wearing a big poufy dress. I think Phoebe Waller-Bridge [the show’s creator], had, perhaps, something more classic in mind. I thought Molly Goddard’s stuff was just perfect for it because it has that subversive streak"
- In genre:
"[De Gaye] has also redefined the look of an international assassin story. There are no blunt bobs and leather dusters like in last summer’s Atomic Blonde, nor any drab and utilitarian cargo pants or knits like those once worn by Jason Bourne.""Villanelle is a true style maven, standing out to blend right in. “It’s quite nice to give these things an airing,” says De Gaye, referencing the OTT designer clothes that are often left out of silver screen stories. “It’s always got to work in with the dramatic needs of the scenes and things like that, but what was nice for me was being able to do such a varied wardrobe.” "

"pastel-colored confection" - Hidalgo- Subversive:
"The cheerful dress is a perfect contrast to the grisly subject, true to her character’s dark sense of humor."
- [6]
"goofy couture" - Luke Jennings- In culture:
"You can tell a TV villain has made their mark on popular culture if they become a Halloween costume. This week, for every Trumpian wig or handmaid’s bonnet seen at a Halloween party, there was a giant pink dress based on the one worn by the assassin Villanelle, Killing Eve’s antihero.""the pink organza dress by Molly Goddard worn with black Balenciaga boots in episode three that subsequently broke the internet" (episode 2, though)

"flouncy saccharine-pink Molly Goddard gown" - Saraiya- Subversive:
"[the dress is] paired, rebelliously, with punky Balenciaga boots"
- [8]
"The first heavy-hitting ensemble came courtesy of British designer Molly Goddard." - Sharkey- Subversive:
"By dressing angelically yet powerfully, she draws in her victims almost by hypnotising them. After all, who would suspect someone in a bubblegum pink Molly Goddard dress?""Villanelle decides to wear the frothy tulle dress as a middle finger to her bosses. If they want her to act like a young girl, why not dress like one? Of course, she has to add a twist by pairing the overtly feminine style with tough Balenciaga biker boots."

- "iconic" - Foussianes
- In culture:
"When Killing Eve fans close their eyes, they likely picture Villanelle in this look."
- Subversive:
"it channels Villanelle so well: flamboyant, unapologetically feminine, and utterly unconcerned with squeezing into society's rigid boundaries."
- [10]
- Influence of the costume designer:
“I remember I found a great fashion image of somebody shimmying down a drain pipe wearing a kind great floaty thing. Then also I was looking for things which were playing with the masculine and feminine side to her because she’s sort of slightly ambivalent.”
- Subversive:
"when Villanelle must attend a mental evaluation to see if she should allowed to continue playing hitman, she dresses in the most bizarre, attention-grabbing way. It’s almost like a little girl who is playing dress-up, and her manner at the session is mocking and playful."“I thought, ‘Well, Molly Goddard has those. Let’s go and get one of those.’ And the pink was such a great color. Bubblegum. I added a bit of a little bit more trim to the sleeves, a little bit more but not much. Then also we built out the skirt a little bit, we put a little bit more sort of under-petticoat things that poofed out even more slightly. And the Balenciaga boots to finish off the look. It was quite funny, wasn’t it? She’s an original.”

- In culture:
"From bluey-bright pastel pinks, through to shocking fuchsias, the ultra-feminine (at least, traditionally) shade is beginning to dominate and we think it's pretty glorious. For anyone who watched hit series Killing Eve in 2018, starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, you'll be familiar with that pink dress moment. [...] It was fashion's big television moment of the year, if you ask us. Clearly taking inspiration from Villanelle's defiant attitude in her Molly Goddard babydoll, this year's Oscars red carpet guests are showing their fearlessness in the face of a giant pink frock."
