Jane Seymour shops “in [her] own closet”.
The 75-year-old actress is relieved she decided against throwing away her old clothes because she has found a new “sport” for herself in trying to replicate current trends with vintage pieces she’s kept in her wardrobe.
She told Woman’s World: “I like to shop in my own closet.
“I was going to toss all my clothes with big shoulder pads, but I ended up keeping them, because everything comes back. I always say not to throw anything away.
“I’ve recently been on the red carpet wearing things that I first wore 20 or 30 years ago, and they’re all back in style now.
“I look at what’s in style and see how I can put a look together with clothes I already have. It’s like my sport.”
The Live and Let Die actress has always been known for her long hair, but she wishes she hadn’t set an early 1980s trend by “frizzing out” her locks for an appearance at the 1981 Academy Awards.
She said: “I’ve always had long hair, and it used to be so long I could sit on it, but I can’t believe that I ever frizzed my hair out!
“I went for the full frizz. I wish it was a hairpiece! I accidentally popularised that look when I presented at the Oscars in 1981.
“My hairdresser decided to do the big hair, and a critic said that I looked like ‘50 pounds of mildewed mattress stuffing.’ I’ve never forgotten that.
Ralph Lauren contacted my PR and asked who did my hair. I didn’t want to throw my hairdresser under the bus, so at first I said I did it myself, but they were actually hoping they could copy the look for their new fashion show.
“I gave them my hairdresser’s contact and that started a trend, sadly.”
One of Jane’s top beauty tips is to keep teaspoons in the fridge to help refresh the skin.
She explained: “I’m currently starring in my own series, Harry Wild, and I’ve been doing it for the last five years.
“I have to get up at 5 am, and I have a cup of coffee and my vitamins. To help me look well-rested, I keep teaspoons in the fridge or freezer when I’m filming.
“When I’m in the make-up chair, my skin has to be perfectly clean and ready, like a blank slate, so I’ll hold the cold spoons over my eyes and put them all around my skin.
“I like to push Body Firm’s Plump and Firm Cream into my skin with the cold spoons while they’re doing my hair – it’s so refreshing.”
