Jessica Chastainis unapologetic about her passion for fashion.
The 44-year-old actress spoke about her love of style forL’Officiel’s fall cover story, out Tuesday, reflecting on her favorite red carpet looks to date and criticizing those who denounce fashionistas as vain.
“I do have an issue with people blaming women for having a ton of shoes, or too many clothes — come on,” Chastain said. “If someone wants to look fabulous, let them look fabulous. Let them express themselves in whatever way they want to. If they want to wear a pound of makeup, let them do it. If they want to wear wigs, let them do it.
“I love fashion and glam as a form of self-expression,” she added.

The two-time Oscar nominee has made a stylish statement on red carpets through the years, explaining she’s unafraid about showing off the “curves on my body.”
“I love fashion because—and this is a strange thing to say—I’m very sensitive, and I can get overstimulated,” she toldL’Officiel. “I don’t know how to describe it, but each outfit that I have the opportunity to wear makes me feel like a different kind of woman.”
