Although in 2024 she appeared in Monster: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the second season of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series, the must-watch title of the year is Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. Based on Laurence Leamer’s Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era, the series explores the time when Truman Capote mingled with his “swans,” high-society Hollywood women immersed in glamour, fashion, and gossip. In this, Sevigny plays C.Z. Guest, a writer, actress, and fashion designer, known as the inventor of preppy style and one of the most elegant women in American history.
