The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn’t stand the sight of the audience.
Some years ago, I landed in Mumbai with no eyebrows, no eyelashes, or hair. I wore a mask over my nose and yet people came up to me and asked, ‘aren’t you Mumtaz?’
I instinctively dress a bit tougher because I’ve spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. I’ve always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black.
All over Africa, people are wearing what Americans once wore and no longer want. Visit the continent, and you’ll find faded remnants of secondhand clothing in the strangest of places.
Sir Larry could be very strict and a disciplinarian, too. He had many faces; he wore many hats. But, ultimately, he loved the theater and he loved actors.
Growing up in Iowa I could have had it a lot worse. My family was more worried about my education and my health than the fact that I wore my sister’s dresses.
Dressing up used to be more of a thing. My dad wore a suit always. Now you think, why bother?
My worst memory is of my first dance lesson as a 14-year old in Prague. My mother put me in this silver and pink lame dress. My hair was all curled, and it was the first time I wore a garter belt. I felt so out of place!
I’ve kept all of my shirts that wore in the World Cup games, and I’ll be giving them to my family to keep.
I went to public high school in Scottsdale, Arizona, and I certainly wore a lot of makeup in high school. I experimented with a cat eye for a semester, and then, you know, a strong red lip because Courtney Love in Hole was all the rage.
I never wore full-on eyeliner in high school, but I wanted to.
I have lived in other cities but been inside of only one. I once wore all the windows of Chicago and all its doorways on a key ring. Salons, mansions, alleys, courtrooms, depots, factories, hotels, police cells, the lake front, the rooftops and the sidewalks were my haberdashery.
My look was even more solidified when I started singing in Greenwich Village with my sister Lucy. We wore matching dresses as the Simon Sisters.
I still have the shirt I wore my first time on Johnny Carson’s show. Only now I use it as a tablecloth at dinner parties. It was very blousy.
Bakers get excited over aprons. I love the soft cotton ones with pockets like my gramma and mom wore. They always kept a hankie tucked in one pocket, which wasn’t sanitary, but was comforting to the child who needed a tear or nose wiped.
When the women’s movement started in the 1960s, there was a vision of a future where women didn’t wear makeup or worry about how their hair looked, and everybody wore sensible, comfortable clothes. It ran into an absolute brick wall.
Justice Rehnquist was friendly and unpretentious. He wore scuffed Hush Puppy shoes. That was my first lesson. Clothes do not make the man. The Justice sported long sideburns and Buddy Holly glasses long after they were fashionable. And he wore loud ties that I am confident were never fashionable.
I never wore a watch. I always depend on public clocks, and stores have clocks, but that is strange.
In running, the only equipment that really matters – at least the mentality was in those days – were the pair of shoes that you wore.
I wore U.S.A. across my chest in 1976.
I watched ‘Free Willy’ probably 100 times. I nearly wore out the VHS tape. That movie was my introduction to Michael Madsen. When I finally saw ‘Reservoir Dogs’, I was like, ‘That’s the guy from ‘Free Willy’!’ – which is probably the wrong way around.
Honestly, I chose 1 because I wore it in college and my rookie year. My mind wasn’t even thinking about D-Rose and everything like that.
Girls have always wanted to be pretty, even in Egyptian times. Cleopatra wore all that eyeliner, you know.
I wore my first pair of Louboutins during this press tour. It was absolutely amazing, they weren’t heels, they were little shoes, but they were velvet and they were blue.
I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn’t notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection.
When I pitched the show, I made this special seashell. You could pick it up and hear me singing, ‘Spongeboy, Spongeboy!’ I also made an aquarium with Patrick planted on the side, SpongeBob sitting on a barrel, and Squidward inside. I wore a Hawaiian shirt. I don’t know what they thought of it.
I archive a lot of my clothes and have them wrapped up and in boxes. I call them ‘little tombs’ and keep them in a storage space… I would never get rid of the dress I wore on the night I won my Oscar. When I die, someone can have it, but not a minute before!
The Lincoln Memorial is related to the toga and the civilization that wore it.
It is difficult to remember just how formal middle-class life was in the 1930’s and ’40s. I wore a suit and tie at home from the age of 18. One dressed for breakfast. One lived in a very formal way, and emotions were not paraded. And my childhood was not unusual.
The older I get and the harder it is to maintain a six pack, the more I wish I wore a tactical vest and cargo pants like Roman Reigns.
I wore so much rubber when I was at MGM, I bumped into the wall once, and I ricocheted.
I wore baggy clothes with a broad belt in strange colour combinations like yellow and purple! I wasn’t brand conscious.
I was the kid at school who wore clothes from charity shops.
You know, my uncle wore a lot of jewelry, a lot of gold chains.
I was never a big fashion person, and so I’m sure I wore whatever. I was growing, and so I just wore whatever clothes that weren’t that expensive and made sense at the time. But I’m sure that I look back and say, ‘What was I thinking?’ My adolescence was more in the ’80s, and that’s more my cross to bear.
I don’t have bad taste; I have no taste. I wear a lot of the things I wore in high school, but not the cowl-neck sweaters. I was never tall, and I am the same size, so I still wear a lot of those clothes.
When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air, or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention. But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.
I am a very honest person, and I can only say there are moments in my life where I really did think I was being me in the sense of my morals and beliefs and the way I acted. But when I look back at certain things that I wore and my hair and make-up, I was like, ‘Whoa! That wasn’t me!’ But I didn’t know it back then.
On a meaningful day, everything you wear can have meaning. It becomes what I wore That Day, whether that day is a beginning or an end.
In the early ’90s, it was grunge; everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore makeup, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque; suddenly they’re the biggest band in the world.
I did some glamorous roles and even wore a bikini in the Telugu film ‘Drona,’ but the audience was aghast. Some said, ‘Please don’t ever wear a bikini again!’
When I was young, I wanted to be like the rappers. I remember being in junior high and wanting a fisherman hat and a link because EPMD had one. I wanted to wear Adidas because Run-DMC wore Adidas. As I came into my own, I just wanted to do me.
I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down.
My mom never used to put makeup on. But one day, when I was a kid, she had a red lip, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, you look so amazing!’ She said, ‘But if I wore it all the time, you would not have noticed.’
I went through a big Jim Morrison phase where I grew my hair and wore those black leather pants. I even tried to get the boots, the chains, and I was full into getting that Jim Morrison vibe… but I didn’t go overboard or try the mascara.
I was a real tomboy as a little girl. I wore boys’ clothes and played at being Robin Hood.
I wore No. 25 in college, so naturally when I arrived in Orlando, I wanted that number, but Nick Anderson had it. I decided to go with No. 1 because of my name, Penny.
I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.
I was the youngest of three, so simply copied my older brothers. It made life very easy. We wore the same yellow jumpers that our grandmother knitted, went to the same school, laughed at the same jokes, and supported the same football team.
I am wrestling with the overalls trend. I wore so many pairs in junior high, and no one thought they were cute. Perhaps I’ll try them cuffed with a tasteful crop top?
I’ve actually always been into suits. But I never really wore them, I guess because I was too young and it didn’t feel right.
When I got into junior high school, that’s when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time.
The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.
I was skinny. I wore thick glasses. I had acne.
