I Actually Wore This
Clothes We Can’t Believe We Bought
A celebration of the fashion missteps of otherwise stylish individuals—from celebrities and fashion and media insiders to regular humans.
In I Actually Wore This, otherwise stylish individuals, from Bergdorf Goodman’s fashion director to actress and SNL alum Molly Shannon, choose the one item from their closet that best illustrates when taste took a holiday, allow themselves to be photographed in it, and tell the story of how, where, and why they bought this article of clothing that makes them mutter “what was I thinking?” each time they see it.
