I keep a little space in my bag for new purchases too. The way I discover a city is
by going around to vintage stores. I think we ran into each other at one, right?
AR: Yeah! We were both shopping for our Halloween costumes.
CS: I was a city mouse, so it was like very Dior New Look, with white pumps,
gloves, and an evening bag, but still all dirty and mousy with a rubber nose.
AR: And I was Maude, from Harold and Maude, so I got a little paisley getup. So
much fun. What’s been your best vintage find so far?
CS: Probably my shiny vintage Issey Miyake raincoat that I’ve had for five
years. I wore it every day at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
AR: You looked great in Cannes, Chloë. That Miu Miu dress with the bow
[ below, far right]? So good. Do you have an all-time favorite look?
CS: The year I won a Golden Globe, I wore a lavender Valentino gown
[ bottom, right] that made me feel like I was floating on air. And they
gave it to me, so it wasn’t a Cinderella moment, luckily.
AR: Oh, I loved that one. I also loved the Simone Rocha looks that
we both wore to the première of The Act [inset, below].
CS: I requested that black dress, and they said you wanted to
wear one of Simone’s red looks. So I thought, “Oh, it would be
cute if we were both in dresses!” They failed to mention that
we were both going to wear the headbands. [laughs]
AR: When we all shuffled together to take a group photo, I saw
you and was like, “Whoa!” It was a fun surprise, though.
CS: And then Joey King showed up with a headpiece on too.
AR: Right! My other favorite look I’ve worn was a tailored
Katie Ermilio dress [left] at a Carrie Diaries event. It was
the first time I’d been on the carpet when I didn’t feel like
a little girl. The right dress can be really empowering.
CS: Didn’t you have Manolos custom-made for you on
The Carrie Diaries? I was supposed to ask Eric [Daman,
the costume designer] about getting those back for you,
wasn’t I? You need those. You’re the only one who has tiny feet.
AR: I know—I’m a size 5. If you see him, let him know! Have
you been able to keep anything cool from a film?
CS: I have the blue T-shirt I wore in Kids. It was actually
my shirt to begin with, so I just stole it back. [laughs]
AR: I wore one of my own shirts on The Act too.
CS: Honestly, I was so impressed with your style when
we were filming. I kept thinking, “She’s just ... so chic.”
AR: Coming from you, that’s the highest compliment.
