Claire thankful to designer Rodriguez for fashion advice - Oct 30, 2007
Claire Danes credits fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez for advising her to cover up for the 1995 Academy Awards ceremony because the outfit Claire had chosen herself was inappropriate. The actress, who was invited to the ceremony in 1997 after starring in Romeo + Juliet, had first picked out a revealing dress, while Rodriguez chose for her a stylish cashmere top and skirt instead. Claire admitted, “At 17, girls are so confused about sex. Maybe they’ve just started to have it, and they think full exposure is what they’re supposed to aim for, and, of course, it’s not. So I wanted to be sexy for the Oscars!” She added, “And Narciso said: ‘No, you’re a girl. You should look age-appropriate.’ It seems pretty fundamental, but it was important for me to hear that at the time.”
