"I'm very out of style... or I should say I have my own style"
About this Quote
As an actress, Paul is speaking from an industry where style is less about taste than compliance. Red carpets and casting rooms reward a narrow, highly managed version of "current" - a moving target that keeps women spending, shrinking, and apologizing. By admitting "out of style" first, she shows she knows the rules and the penalties. The correction - "my own style" - is not just confidence; its a strategy. It turns what could be read as failure to keep up into a deliberate identity, an authored brand rather than a deficit.
The line lands because it stages a negotiation in real time: insecurity gets airtime, then gets edited. Its also quietly funny. Paul isnt pretending shes above trends; shes demonstrating that trendiness is optional, and that opting out can be a form of agency. In a culture that treats womens aesthetics as public property, "my own style" is a boundary disguised as a shrug.
