Murphy previously revealed that the seventh season of AHS would be election-themed and has since given red, white and blue-colored "clues," including Billie Lourd's icy white hair and Evan Peter's blue-hued mane and now, Haynes' smeared red lipstick.

"There are only three people in the world who know what it is, which is [FX president and general manager] John Landgraf, [Fox Television Group chairman and CEO] Dana Walden and Sarah Paulson," Murphy shared of the plot for season seven at FX’s Television Critics Association press day in January.
