eli5: What happens to all the clothes celebrities wear?

406 viewsOther

I was watching an interview with a celebrity, and she said that after the red carpet she had to return the clothes she was wearing. This got me interested in the ownership and housing of these designer, couture clothing. What happens to the Met Gala gowns after the event? What about the clothes celebrities wear during the press tour for their projects? Do they keep them? Who pays for them? Do they get reused?

It really depends on the clothing and events. Red carpet usually means the stylist gets dresses from several different designers along with accessories and they use that to put the look together for the event. Everything is returned to whoever loaned out the things at the end of the event. Its great publicity for the designers to get mentioned on the red carpet so its advertising for them.

For tours and other things its usually a mix of clothes the person owns and pieces gifted by designers for advertising. Depending on the celebrity their management company foots some of the bill but since celebrities have money they purchase things too.
