Picture it: It’s 2005 and it’s Dolce & Gabbana day at Milan Fashion Week. Chloë Sevigny has been rumored to attend. The lights go down, and the first model comes out. It’s none other than the proto-It-girl herself: Sevigny is on the runway!
This Monday, Philippine Standard Time, Vogue World: Hollywood will celebrate the enduring love affair between fashion and film. Designers have been long inspired by movies (see here!), and have at times even outfitted them themselves. Some runway models have often moved into acting (see here!). But as runway watchers, we like it best when it’s the other way around: when the biggest silver screen names swap the film set for the catwalk. Who can forget the famous “Prada villains”—Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe, and Adrien Brody—from its 2012 menswear show? Or Taylor Russell opening Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe? Below, look back at the many times actors have played the coveted role of supermodel.
