The 'Little Fires Everywhere' star shares how 'The Carrie Diaries' influenced her style and what beauty products are lifting her spirits these days.
Author:Fawnia Soo HooUpdated:Apr 3, 2020Original:Apr 3, 2020We all buy clothes, but no two people shop the same. It can be a social experience, and a deeply personal one; at times, it can be impulsive and entertaining, at others, purpose-driven, a chore. Where do you shop? When do you shop? How do you decide what you need, how much to spend and what's "you"? These are some of the questions we're putting to prominent figures in our column "How I Shop.
Robb's Elena gives a glimpse into a less buttoned-up and more free-spirited life that could've been, as she finished out her senior year of college on a glam Paris study abroad stint. "I read the script and was like, 'OK, there's nightclubbing. What am I going to be in? What am I wearing?!'" laughs Robb. "I ended up in these tiny little booty shorts and barely-on top." Definitely not a look that an Eve Ensler-disapproving Elena would appreciate in 1997.
Of course, the actor has plenty of experience stepping into the shoes of an icon, even if she's fictional. We're talking, of course, about Robb playing a young Carrie Bradshaw in "The Carrie Diaries," which ran on The CW from 2013 to 2014. The "Sex and the City" origin story depicts how the fresh-faced, Connecticut-raised teen becomes a proto-influencer in Manhattan, all while wearing fabulous '80s costumes designed by Eric Daman.
"I really felt like 'The Carrie Diaries' transitioned me into womanhood because I had just graduated high school. I was going to go to college, but ended up doing the show for two seasons. "That show also really taught me what good tailoring is. If I see a dress, I'll know if it'll fit me or not. I was in fittings almost every single day, so now I know, 'Oh, this dress should fit me here' or the most flattering seam placement and where it needs to be taken in. I wish I could sew because I have to adjust my clothes anyway, because I'm so petite — everything is compact. I wish I could just do it myself. Maybe I should use this time to learn how to sew.
"I took a trip to Europe last summer and my luggage was completely lost, so I had to get a couple pieces. It taught me about how you just don't need that much. I'm in L.A. temporarily — I was moving my boyfriend here and now I'm stuck, which I'm happy about. So I have a minimal wardrobe. Fully go for a Marie Kondo of your wardrobe because you'll end up realizing it's the best. You end up rewearing the same things, anyway.
