![]() ![]() So what was your beauty routine like then? I don’t have the skin that can handle it. Because you already have to wear so much, and for Marilyn, I had to wear so much - it destroys my skin. I’m chesty so the more comfortable - high heels, beautiful - but I’m usually in a pointy-toe rocker boot and jeans. I think girls are really sexy in boy clothes, so that’s kind of how I do it. I actually love wearing my boyfriend’s clothes. Really casual - I’m a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. How would you describe your everyday style? I cleared out room in my closest already. You pay me and I get an outfit.” ( Laughs.) They were like, “OK, whatever you want as long as you keep giving us some good dailies.” So yeah, I’m supposed to have like 20 outfits and they were all made either for me or altered to my body so they should be mine. ![]() Like every time you force me, I need an outfit.” And they were like, “You mean … ” I was like, “No, no. I’m supposed to! I did a bargain - I was like, “Look, this is a really hard role. That was pretty great.ĭid you get to walk away with any of the pieces? I was shocked by the amount of attention to detail - oh, wait a second, the “Happy Birthday” dress was the most beautiful thing I think I put on because it’s just thin, nude netting and hundreds of Swarovski crystals. Were a lot of pieces handmade or store-bought?Ī mix of vintage that was all taken in to fit my body, and a lot of the dresses were made from scratch by beautiful seamstresses - we had about seven of them. They reconstructed to the exact outfit that you see she : a little red striped shirt, these tiny Daisy Duke white overalls and big ol’ ’40s heels. But I think my favorite in the whole show is a Norma Jeane outfit. Iconic Marilyn - I would have to say that gold lamé dress with the crinkle and low. Of all the costume changes, which one was your favorite? A lot of people say she wore famous black turtlenecks, but she was really good in some color. I was just not embracing my figure the way you can as a woman. I think I was also doing that bohemian thing where all my sweaters were boy sweaters and boyfriend pants, which I love, but this is me, too, when I dress up. Marilyn taught me, for my figure, to go tight but high neck. Was that an influence on today’s darker color scheme? I had gone through this phase where I stopped being attracted to color. I actually came home and threw out half of my clothes. Everyone kept handing me photo books and I was like, “I get it! I know what she looks like.” ( Laughs.) It taught me a lot about my own wardrobe. It was over a week of costume fittings and the costume room was just wallpapered with, I think, every image of Marilyn possible. I can only imagine all the cool pieces you got to wear on set. I could rely on the wig, great makeup and beautiful costumes, and now I can just do my job rather than being concerned that I look weird or terrible. It was nice to look in the mirror and not feel silly, so that I could just do my job. Right?! I think I might have shed a tear at one point because everyone just worked so hard, and I’ll never look more beautiful than being made up to try and look like the most beautiful woman that quite possibly ever walked the face of the Earth. What was your own reaction when you saw yourself as one of Hollywood’s most iconic beauties? I didn’t know how hard-core of a perfectionist she was until I started reading about it. She’s a perfectionist - I think I share that with her. I didn’t realize the great work ethic she had. I didn’t know she spent a lot of her time with doctors, therapists. Mental health is still stigmatized, but back then, even. She lied about it I think she told lots of weird different little stories. I didn’t know she had a mother - well, I knew she had a mother ( laughs) - who was diagnosed schizophrenic, in and out of mental institutions, while Marilyn was climbing to the top and you know, at her height.
