Cameron Diaz goes incognito in her old movie costumes
Posted by Team Boxwish 7 months ago
One of the (countless) perks of being a movie star is the costumes. Many of Tinseltown’s brightest stars get to keep their onscreen outfits, augmenting their personal wardrobes with fancy freebies. Imagine how incredible a job bonus this is when working on fashion favourites such as Sex and the City, The Devil Wears Prada and Confessions of a Shopaholic, movies crammed with endless costume changes. Sure, it doesn’t always work, you might think twice about keeping a costume if cast as a Nazi soldier, medieval wench or caped superhero, but it turns out that even the most unglamorous and dowdy of movie costumes can come in handy. Just ask Cameron Diaz, who has revealed that she uses her past onscreen get-ups when out and about in public, keeping her celebrity status a mystery.
The rom-com star best known for looking good in the likes of There’s Something About Mary, The Holiday and the Charlie’s Angels pics likes to disguise herself when away from the movie studio and finds there’s no better way than dressing in former costumes. “I’ve enjoyed taking home some of the costumes from movie sets,” she reveals, “in particular when I played Lotte in Being John Malkovich.”
In the offbeat 1999 drama/comedy from Spike Jonze, the usually elegant star hides her blonde locks under a brown frizzy wig and her svelte figure in lumpy clothes. “That was really fun,” she remembers, “because I had these brown contact lenses and this crazy wig and I would go shopping as Lotte. People didn’t even want to help me.”
Maybe if you’re looking for help Cameron, try on the red column dress from The Mask. It might make you stand-out, but them’s the breaks.
