Elizabeth Olsen Reflects on Her Unique Fashion Strategy with Aubrey Plaza

LOS ANGELES, CA – In a recent interview, actress Elizabeth Olsen reminisced about a unique approach to coordinated outfits during her career, specifically reflecting on a moment that went viral in 2017. Olsen shared an endearing story about pulling out a large photograph of herself and co-star Aubrey Plaza, both dressed in matching outfits.

The light-hearted revelation came during a segment where Olsen sifted through her purse, offering fans a genuine glimpse into her personal experiences. The matching outfits were not merely a coincidence but part of a clever publicity strategy for their film, “Ingrid Goes West.”

At the time of the film’s premiere, the concept of “method dressing” was not the trend it is today. Olsen admitted that their choice to appear in identical dresses was a strategic move aimed at garnering attention for their indie film centered on social media influences, where Plaza’s character obsessively stalks Olsen’s character.

Olsen admitted that while she doesn’t actively embrace the style trend of method dressing, she appreciates how it’s gained momentum among other celebrities. She expressed understanding of the trend that involves actors dressing in a manner that reflects the themes of their projects, particularly on red carpets. High-profile examples include Zendaya’s thematic outfits for films like “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “Dune.”

This playful approach to fashion has prompted various trends, including what’s now known as “Barbiecore.” While method dressing may not align completely with her personal style, Olsen recognizes the creativity it has fostered within the fashion industry, showcasing how actors can engage with promotional activities beyond conventional means.
