Catherine O'Hara Breaks Down 9 Looks From 1988 to Now | Life in Looks | Vogue

hi vogue i'm catherine o'hara and i'm going to show you i don't know why but i'm going to show you my life and looks [Music] i loved working on this movie our costume designer aggie garage rogers took me to max fields i remember on melrose in los angeles where they they sell very very cool expensive clothes somewhere i had never shopped myself and we got to pick out really wild great stuff i still have this jacket and this hat you may see it in another picture let's top that looking at these pictures from this time i think wow i think uh delia dietz my character beetlejuice and moira rose character i played in shit's creek are sisters if not the same person with a different accent it's really strong really strong wardrobe and and look at me and i'm interesting this is the second time i wore this dress publicly jewel hallmeyer our wonderful costume designer from sctv he had it made for me i drew it we worked on the design together at the time i swear he told me it was made with kobe beef or wagyu because he said the cows the leather was so soft on this dress he said because the cows were massaged every day it's just wonderful when something is actually made for your body such a difference and i still have it and i'll wear it again home alone this is one of those wardrobe looks that one wears for a whole movie it was in the days of really broad shoulders and long jackets it was very well to do woman elegant dresser you know businesswoman successful woman that was my look did we go away on the first one yes i forget wait yes it was also travel look i guess it was very comfortable kept me warm i had a beautiful coat to go with it i kept it for a few years then i gave it to my sister patricia who lives in england it looked great on her and i don't know if she got rid of it i think she could have made money she'll told her to sell it this was a um from shit's creek and moira was told that this really cool high-end fashion photographer was coming and was going to do a shoot with her in this town this town whose name she's never spoken aloud and and she's so nervous about it and she puts this look together and this is a raf simmons dress and our wardrobe department and this happened a few times with uh moira where they had to go online and find out how to put it together i stood there and they tried so many different versions and we're all laughing and enjoying it but they finally they went online and they're blowing up the pictures and they're you know calling people what that what do you do with this and then we had a great shirt it might be this one i think it is of course great jewels the excess you can never accessorize enough if you're moira rose but really fun because it was really um a vulnerable moment for moira daniel and deb shopped all year long online but you know far-fetched and and real real and uh out net and all the sites that sell designer clothes uh for lower prices uh because they're you know from earlier collections and that's what we needed we needed clothes that we had when we were really wealthy but but you know they were both of them shopped amazingly and found us the most incredible clothes and daniel said it was hard to stop after he ended the show it's hard to stop shopping for moira for the tony awards i was asked to present the live musical number for beetlejuice the musical and i wanted to dress in keeping with the you know tim burton black and white and i was looking online for black and white dresses black white dress and i found this collection of marc jacobs i thought how can i possibly get mark to jacob's where i wasn't working with the styles and i phoned my friend ricky peter who used to be a designer and he's very good friends with marc jacobs and i phoned her ricky is there any chance you could i don't know ask if i beg if i could borrow you know if she walked into a woman who she knows who works with bart jacobs while i was asking her in that very moment and she said oh excuse me they talked and she told and and uh and so they arranged for me to borrow this dress uh very cool i've always loved black and white and i think it can be very clean and works anywhere and then working on shit's creek for six years really you know just strengthened my love for black and white even more it's bold and it's strong and it's graphic and cartoony and cool all at the same time classic this was a big fun year for us being invited to hollywood and awards shows and you know from doing our little show in toronto i got to work with a stylist andrew galwicks and he found me so many great great great looks and this is a norma kamali jumpsuit but it is so graphic and fun and it's really soft material felt great i think i did that pose many times over the night to scare people and show them how cool my outfit was i finally learned that you cannot go buy my clothes on the hanger i used to when i would go to a wardrobe fitting and i'd look at stuff on the hangers i go no no okay oh no no you know just kind of nervous and fearful and and now when in the last year or two and i've worked with andrew um he'll bring clothes and he'll say do you want to try this out and i was like yes because you don't know you know and i would never know how that would look that great norman kamali one piece without trying it on it's just it felt great i have never sat in the first row of a fashion show and i was i've always wondered how it felt and uh i got to wear tom ford this very cool suit which felt like sexy armor was really strong and the skirt was really tight and those shoes are so high but so beautifully built that i was comfortable for the whole night in those shoes i couldn't believe how serious people were really really serious about what impression they were making on each other it was just saw those so little laughing or smiling it's so intense the least uptight person there was tom ford he's so loose and cool and he's very funny he's very easy i just felt like a happy alien in that place okay this is a pamela roland dress the dress cost more than anything any several outfits together that i ever wore on the show it was so beautiful in person the detail of beading and ostrich feathers i think i felt beautiful then this crown that i'm wearing is made of zip ties they found on etsy i felt like moira felt i really felt like i was at a real premiere in this sad little town it was just exciting as any other red carpet i've always thought that myra's wear was very protective very defensive and like armor it's aggressive and defensive at the same time offensive defense and it's wanting to prove something i'm different i don't belong here i have talent i should be famous i should you know i have such potential and then she actually has this movie and even though she's in this town with this premier and her daughter as her pr agent um i think there's an openness by that that she's comfortable and confident enough to wear something this feminine and this revealing and this beautiful really it's not defensive at all it's just i'm actually in a movie and it's actually having a premiere and i may actually be on the road again too being famous and acting you know it's full of hope before we went back to work for the sixth season daniel called me and told me all the outlines for the season coming up and our story she was he was telling me what moyer was going to experience and he got to this wedding and he said and moira's going to officiate and we're work we're thinking about what she's going to look like or what she's going to wear and i did sit and daniel will vouch for this i said what about a people look you know the miter i tried on the miter and found out that they're pretty crispy hard on the head so i asked anya if she could make a roll of hair around and i did a little drawing which she has but she made it and she went through i don't know how many nights at home trying to put this thing together she ended up using the glue that she used to put down tiles in her kitchen to keep this thing together it's an alexander mcqueen dress that deborah found tom ford gold boots daniel has said that because moira took the job so seriously and cared so much about why she was there that she actually managed not to upstage the wedding couple so even as insane as it is it was about them and i cried all day long good good evening everyone vogue thank you so much for letting me uh go down memory lane with my looks i hope you enjoyed them as much as they frightened me [Music]
