Julia Louis-Dreyfus Worked With Seinfeld’s Costume Designers To Create Elaine’s Look

If Kramer dated a low-talker, Elaine dated a close-talker, Aaron. When he learned they were going to France, he offered them an envelope full of French francs. Elaine was smitten with Aaron, she’d light up every time he spoke.

Are Elaine’s standards impeccably high because she knows her worth as a charismatic, bodacious vixen? Or does she suffer from emotional intimacy problems and rocks the boat at the first sign of smooth sailing? Honestly, I don’t care, because they’re both relatable as hell.

Elaine Benes

Once Elaine was back from the trip, she tried to call it quits. No one could blame the woman for escaping the clutches of the psychiatrist who had a mental hold on her. Strangely Jerry and Elaine are vying for Keith’s time and attention.

Additionally, the “Seinfeld” alum noted that those less revealing outfits helped her when shooting the show while pregnant. Louis-Dreyfus has two sons, both born while “Seinfeld” dominated American airwaves, and Elaine’s sartorial choices helped to conceal her pregnancies from viewers. “And frankly,” she said, “I was pregnant twice during ‘Seinfeld,’ so all of these oversized clothing — this clothing was very helpful to me as a pregnant person.” Partially, Elaine was such a dynamic character because of the input Louis-Dreyfus had in developing her.

“The Revenge” was the first episode series co-creator Larry David wrote by himself. When Jerry goes to the laundromat, Kramer persuades him to take his laundry with him. After retrieving the laundry the following day and returning Kramer’s portion, Jerry remembers he had hidden a large sum of money in his laundry bag, but is unable to find it. Vic, the owner of the laundromat, says he is not responsible for valuables; Kramer and Jerry both assume Vic stole the money. While Jerry distracts Vic with laundering questions, Kramer puts cement mix in one of the washing machines as revenge.

Elaine thinks this same method could help her boyfriend finally ace his medical license exam. While the abstinence works in his favor, it turns Elaine into intelligent who can barely finish a complete sentence and is easily amused by a spinning tire display at an auto body shop. While the abstinence works in his favor, it turns Elaine into a self-described “moron” who can barely finish a complete sentence and is easily amused by a spinning tire display at an auto body shop.

Although the series was poorly received by test audiences (so poorly received, in fact, that the series nearly didn’t get made), critics and fans quickly latched onto the brilliance bubbling beneath its simple conceit. With an earworm bass line available at and a revolving door of hilarious running gags, “Seinfeld” boasted a distinct feel from the start. That self-assuredness would make the series one of NBC’s most successful. Switch to the light mode that’s kinder on your eyes at day time.

Anywho, without further ado, here are five dates worth recommending and five best left alone. All told, we saw about thirty of Elaine’s suitors onscreen. After all, she was sex positive enough to talk openly about how the scarcity of sponges affected her dating life.

In multiple episodes, including “The Strong Box” and “The Wizard”, she can be seen wearing a crucifix. In “The Postponement” and “The Fatigues”, Elaine states that she is not Jewish. Elaine’s best friend in the sitcom is her ex-boyfriend Jerry Seinfeld, and she is also good friends with George Costanza and Cosmo Kramer.

Elaine Dances At Her Office Party (Season 8, “The Little Kicks”)

Filming of the episode had been delayed two days due to President’s Day. Both Alexander and Louis-Dreyfus praised the scene in which Jerry and George discuss the types of employment George could apply for after he quit his job. Louis-Dreyfus stated she was jealous that she was not in the scene.
