Catherine the Great on her Brooklyn rooftop. Photo: Andrew Nguyen I’ve always felt that I was destined for greatness — a sentiment that I share with Russia’s longest-reigning female leader. “Ever since I was a child, I’ve felt like greatness was in store for me,” says Elle Fanning’s Catherine the Great in Hulu’s new series The Great. “Like God himself had spat me forth to land on this earth and in some way transform it.

What is it like to dress like 18th-century royalty in the middle of 21st-century Brooklyn? I found out. To top it all off, I outfitted my buzzed head with a wig before getting dressed. Unlike Catherine, I didn’t have handmaidens to just do it for me, and my roommates didn’t respond well to me shouting at them, “Come and dress me!” So I put it all on myself. The rest of the day was spent taking up tons of room on the couch with my abnormally wide hips in a blue gown, repeating to myself, “You are so great,” to prepare myself for the days ahead.
Swatting hair tendrils out of my mouth. As I lounged in a chaise, I discovered that you can’t actually tan when your entire body is covered in a gown. Plus, it was way too hot, even with my fancy feather fan. I gave up and went back to my air-conditioned apartment.
