These are but three quotes from this article, and you are lucky I didn’t just copy the whole thing over wholesale for the excuse to read it again and again.
- ‘To “know how to wear clothes” is another way of saying that Grant embodied class, which is to say high class: Grant wore well-tailored clothes, and he knew how to hold himself in them. But he came from nothing, and the way he wore clothes was just as much of a performance as his refined trans-Atlantic accent, his acrobatic slapstick routines, and his masterful flirtation skills.’
- ‘I could write a thousand words just on the way that Katharine Hepburn holds her chin, or the magnificence that is Russell’s wardrobe in His Girl Friday.’
- ‘To be Grant-esque is to be the immaculate socialite, sartorially refined, and the object of affection and admiration.’
