That is the most upper class headline I've ever read.

Daniel Radcliffe used this to his advantage---same outfit, and the paparazzi stopped bothering him:

It was three or four months. Because I was doing a play in London and every night there was paparazzi outside. And I suddenly realized after like after I just had just been lazy and not changed my clothes for a few days, that they were not there. And I realized it’s probably because I’m wearing the same thing so it all looks like photos from the same day. So I was like ‘I’ll just continue wearing this.’ And they never came back because it all looks like the same picture in front of the same door.

I love how they point out that it's not hygienic...like you can't buy the same set and own a fucking washing machine...

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also if it's like a jacket or something, you don't wash that every day anyway, you wash it 2-3 times a winter. I don't wash my jeans too often either, and usually when I do, they're dry by next morning...

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yep, especially if you're wearing it for a few hours a week at most and just walking around. Hell I know farmers who won't wash canvas jackets but like 2 times a year because it's just gonna get dirty on the outside again in a day and it'll eventually ruin any water resistance it has.

Wearing a coat more than once? Very normal. But more than thrice? That's news

Those person cults are really disgusting.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'll never understand it and i'm glad i don't. Celebrity worshipping is so pathetic and sad.

Yes even that celebrity that you like sooo much

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

J-james May?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Ok, disgusting may be too much. I do get that some people have that urge more – or at all. And to each their own. But at the same time – bah. I want to say "have some self-respect" but that feels wrong too. It's complicated.

I just think of how the Swedish press acts the day after the Nobel Prize party.

There are always huge parts of the press devoted the the dresses worn at the event.

It is funny, usually the royals often rewear dresses and jewelry from their past, especially later years as reusing have become more important, the queen and princesses also ofter share dresses, Victoria has on several occasions worn dresses from Silvia's wardrobe.

And also, that is a very nice coat. If I had anything half as nice, I would wear the hell out of it.

In Estonia it's roughly the same with the independence day presidential awards n handshakes party. Men have it easy, just wear a tux and whatever. But the women? You bet the "journalists" figure out who the designers of each fancy dress are, etc.

If I was famous the news would be "1d10 seen in a different outfit for the first time, their publicist has been contacted and states,"we are all concerned but hopefully it's just a fluke""

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Daniel Radcliffe famously bought dozens of the same outfit so the media would stop reporting on his outfit.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Daniel Radcliffe wears the same outfit for three months in a row! Is he even showering?!"

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Like that would deter anyone

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

For me it would be about putting a tiny amount of effort in. He's now a step up from Onslow.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

C-could this mean she... likes it?
Read our special 48 page issue on the matter.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Meanwhile a royalty man could wear the same outfit for years and no one gonna pay any attention.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

WTF, she supposed to trow it away in the dumpster in Chile

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

I just saw this on Dave Gorman's show!
