"I have a friend in New York who's a stylist and I went over to her place because she's got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it's all stuff that I brought over"
About this Quote
The specificity does the heavy lifting. “Went over to her place” pulls us out of red carpets and into an apartment. “She’s got a lot of clothes” is almost comically blunt, like a teenager explaining a good thrift store. Then the kicker: “I basically ended up wearing most of it.” That exaggeration reads as self-aware, hinting at the slightly ridiculous excess built into fashion culture, even when it’s framed as casual borrowing.
Subtextually, Janssen is also managing an old Hollywood problem: appearing effortless while admitting the effort. She claims authorship (“stuff that I brought over”) without pretending it sprang from nowhere. It’s a neat bit of cultural positioning: aspirational, but not alienating; stylish, but not sanctimonious; plugged into the machinery, but willing to show the seams. In an era when celebrity looks are treated like corporate campaigns, this feels like a small vote for human-scale glamour.
