Chloë Sevigny has long been fashion’s ultimate insider.

She also reflects on her Y2K-era fashion legacy, the Vera Wang figure skating costume that changed her life, and growing up on tour with her father, Lionel Richie. Whether she’s sporting custom YSL on a red carpet, styling a Target tank top around L.A., or casually wearing a Mardi Gras-style headpiece through airport security, Nicole is proof that great style is all about instinct, individuality, and a little bit of chaos.

Benito Skinner loves fashion almost as much as he loves Mary Beth Barone. In this episode of ‘The Good Buy,’ the actor, writer, and social media phenomenon sits down with Harper’s BAZAAR to talk about the pieces that shaped his style— from the first Thom Browne shirt his brother gifted him in high school to the custom ERL jacket (featuring a hand-painted portrait of JFK) he wore to his show’s LA premiere. Watch here as the ‘Overcompensating’ star shares his obsession with Dario Vitale’s Versace, reflects on style inspirations like Robin Williams and A$AP Rocky, and reveals his lore as a “greeter” at Abercrombie & Fitch. Whether he's on-screen or off, Benito proves that real fashion isn’t just about dressing well, but the joy, playfulness, and confidence that comes from presenting as your truest self.

Jennifer Tilly has always lived for the drama— on screen, at the poker table, and especially in her closet.
