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
