Brie Larson Shares Her Personal Philosophy on Fashion and Red Carpet Style

During the press room interview, Brie was initially caught off guard when asked about her dress, responding with a surprised, “That’s what you want to ask?” However, when the conversation shifted to the broader pressures of dressing for major red carpet events, she opened up about her thoughtful approach to fashion.

“I feel like the way I’ve been able to understand clothes and fashion better is it’s a great way for me to express what’s happening on the inside,” Larson explained. “So my goal with each dress that I’ve worn has been to try and reflect what my soul looks like, which is far more complicated than any dress could ever be.”

Her response highlighted how she views fashion not as mere appearance, but as a personal form of self-expression—a philosophy reflected in many of her red carpet choices.
