Wardrobe Misconduct in Hollywood

Veteran actress Sharon Stone has openly discussed the challenges she faced regarding privacy violations and misogyny during her career in Hollywood. Among her experiences, one striking incident from the 1980s involved the sale of her on-set wardrobe items, including undergarments, in an effort to recoup production costs.

Contractual Terms and Iconic Costumes

To prevent further exploitation, Stone implemented contractual clauses allowing her to retain wardrobe items from her films, unless they were studio rentals. This strategy enabled her to preserve several memorable pieces from her career.

Highlights of her collection include:

• The infamous white minidress from “Basic Instinct” kept securely in a safe.
• A variety of shoes from the same film, such as black split-toe Gucci heels and gold-studded ones.
• Costumes from “Casino” praised for their exceptional design by Rita Ryack, with Stone keeping the Pucci jacket worn during a pivotal scene.

Challenges with Film Costumes

Although Stone cherishes many of her wardrobe pieces, she shared some less favorable experiences. For instance, in the film “Gloria” (1993), she had to endure wearing 4-inch heels and a Versace safety-pin dress in cold weather conditions.
