Wardrobe is – in films, I could say it’s a good half of the acting. You get the right rags on, they’ll talk for you.
The reason we all need a mutton alert, which needs constant testing, like smoke alarms, is because there is really no such thing as age-appropriate dressing any longer, as I know because my wardrobe is interchangeable with my daughter’s.
It’s really important for me to not follow trends because I really like the idea that a wardrobe is something that’s about you, it should represent who you are and how you dress.
Reba McEntire came through town when I lived in Texas. She had this amazing theatrical show with, like, 13 different wardrobe changes. I was eight and I was like, Wow, I wanna do that!
Before, I would just only stick to a few certain colors that were considered good for my skin tone and good for my hair. But ever since ‘Stranger Things,’ the wardrobe people there, they would always stick me in these super bright colors. I discovered all these new colors that I just like wearing.
I’d call my work ‘instinctual design.’ I like to find the spirit of a piece that defies time, age, and occasion. My clothes give the wearer the chance to develop their own voice within a wardrobe, and I think of them as curators of their personal style.
I don’t think there’s any excuse for not being able to put on a beautiful product and make yourself feel fabulous. Just have some key pieces in your wardrobe that aren’t seasonal.

I think that we cater for the woman that wants to be fashion-forward but also wants to purchase an investment piece that she’ll have in her wardrobe forever.
Gap was essentially the American wardrobe that was well-priced, and it was attractive, and it was happy, and it had great color, and it has jeans, and I think we did the same with Old Navy. And I think we do the same with J.Crew at a much higher level, Madewell at another level.
I liked wearing the ’50s wardrobe. It was hard in the beginning. The first shows I wore regular young girl dresses. Then a little later I got to wear the poodle skirts and such.

I know a lot of actors talk about the importance of wardrobe, and it always seems like it’s kind of a cop-out, maybe, because it seems like a minor detail to some people. But I think it’s hugely important.
Anybody who works with me knows this: I always repeat wardrobe in my characters. We’re trying to play real people.

High heels are like a beauty lift. In a flat, you can feel beautiful, but a stiletto changes your mood, how you move – like a wild, beautiful animal. The idea was always to follow a woman’s wardrobe, her desires.
I think it always helps when you build a character, and then, you actually step into that character’s wardrobe, something else happens. Another angle of the character comes to life.

I have definitely got more than a few pieces of cheetah in my wardrobe.
I turned down ‘Some Like It Hot.’ See how smart I am? I felt I couldn’t bring anything funny to it. The outfit was funny. I don’t need to compete with the wardrobe.
I think that’s the great thing about interiors is that they can be treated like a great wardrobe. Choose a sofa and chairs that are staples in clean shapes that will keep for the next couple of years or decade. Then an easy way to bump up your entire room or your interiors is accessories.
We started a new movement called street soccer, so I was already breathing and living the style. Since street soccer is not a game but a lifestyle, it required a matching wardrobe.

I always have an item in mind that I want to wear; then, the next day, I put it on, and I love the 20-minute rush of frantically tearing clothes out of my wardrobe to go with it. And I honestly feel that’s the best way to do it; there’s no method to my fashion madness so to speak.
Working in fashion we’re lucky enough to be gifted lots of items, meanwhile so many people all over the world have one t-shirt they live in, so I thought why not share? I reached out to all of my friends and asked them to donate pieces from their wardrobe that I could sell to raise money for my charity foundation.
I’m one of those actors who finds the part in the wardrobe.

Purple has always been my favorite color… but purple, when I was a little kid, was a color that boys weren’t really allowed to wear. That’s what all the kids at school told me.
