For Hulu's murder-mystery comedy Only Murders in the Building, costume designer Dana Covarrubias was gifted an arguably impossible task: Make an audience forget Selena Gomez is Selena Gomez. The pop icon, who had not appeared as a series regular on a television show since her time on Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place almost a decade ago, would be playing Mabel, a young, vaguely unknowable woman with a biting wit and a penchant for true crime. She would, of course, be Gomez, but she couldn't look like Gomez, lest viewers be...

Growing up, the 25-year-old split her time between New Jersey and a small town outside of Oslo. Moving every several years was challenging (to say the least); Froseth struggled to adapt to the language shifts and confluence of cultures. Even though she convincingly...
