1) I love getting dressed up and shopping, but I don’t follow trends. My style fluctuates: it’s whimsical and feminine. When I was little, I was a really girly girl who didn’t like to wear trousers. I just wore party dresses all the time with patent-leather shoes.
2) At school the kids wore hippy dresses from thrift stores, and people made their own clothes. I’ve always enjoyed wearing old-fashioned clothes. I try to do a bit of research before I travel so I know where to uncover vintage finds.
3) Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure. I try to stick to classic pieces. I don’t go to a lot of fashion shows or pay attention to what other people are wearing.
4) The red-carpet thing of premieres and parties is probably my least favourite part of my job. I do this because I love to act. All that other stuff may be glamorous, but glamour, by definition, is all just a circus.
5) You don’t have to wear expensive clothes to look good. Growing up in Hollywood meant there were a lot of film stars’ kids at my school – but no conspicuous wealth. It wasn’t cool to show off that you had money.
If only all celebrities did this. When the flash bulbs flicker the last time for the night, and they’re all alone what do they wear? The title of this story grabbed my attention and when I followed the link the content proved worthy of the read. In this day and age image is everything. For an actress it can determine how well your movie will do, a singer if your album will reach platinum status. It’s diluted the art of entertainment and stunted the growth of the craft. We put so much emphasis on fashion, and who’s daring enough to rock those gravity defying McQueens. Most people would be happy to snag a designer item whether we cared for the design or not (especially if it was at a great price), just to say we have it. But what about style? Style is the way you interpret those trends and make them your own. How do you define your style? Do you just go with the trends of the season or wear what makes you feel good? Sound off.
