What did Lily Gladstone say about her outfit at the 26th Costume Designers Guild Awards?
Lily Gladstone is happy about her bold, red outfit. In an interview with People, the First Cow actress said, “Valentino made it custom for me. It was one of the several options that we’ve had this whole season and it felt like tonight, being here amongst costume designers, it was time to bust out something that was really stunning structurally, texturally, that’s made a big, bold statement.”
The Walking Out actress also added, “And the color red, wearing it campaigning this film, particularly, it’s the color of visibility for Missing, Murdered Indigenous Relatives, which is kind of the heart of the arc that my character has.” Lily also adds to wrap up, “Even though that story was 100 years ago, it wasn’t a new story then, and it’s still not a new story now. It’s an epidemic that continues. So getting to wear red increases our visibility. It’s done in solidarity with Missing, Murdered Indigenous Relatives, and lovingly crafted by Valentino, who have just been with me since the very beginning.”
