“I think my style has really always stayed in one place”- When Amanda Seyfried opened up about not diverting from her personal style

Red carpets are momentous occasions for Hollywood A-listers. They must make sure to dress to the nines while maintaining gracefulness and elegance. Actress Amanda Seyfried has taken our breath away with her red carpet moments several times now.

In an interview with Bazaar in December 2022, Amanda Seyfried spilled details on her personal sense of style and how that influences her red carpet fashion moments, her photoshoots, and even what she wears in the privacy of her own farm.

“I think my style has really always stayed in one place – it has evolved here and there, and of course, my body has changed when I’ve had kids, but I have always been one to wear sweatpants as often as I can, and when I wear jeans, it is going to be the same jeans I have had for years,” the actress said.

Amanda Seyfried went on record to say that she enjoys experimenting with fashion when it comes to photoshoots. A shoot feels more like "acting" for her, so she can relax and take her time getting into a character, but red-carpets are very "brief" and "frantic", so there isn't "enough time" to get "comfortable" in the clothes, pose for photographers, and interact with fans all at the same time.

Overall, she sticks to her personal style, which is marked by a graceful simplicity. For her, fashion should be comfortable, and despite the changes that her body went through during her pregnancies, her style has remained the same.

“It just works for me, so I don’t move away from it," she stated.

Staying true to her own personal style is the defining feature of all her fashion choices, and it's the one that she is most comfortable with.

Amanda Seyfried continued:

“It’s actually always very easy. Every once in a while – maybe once a year – I’ll see something in a magazine that I want to try, but almost always, it is something she has chosen, something she has put on hold, knowing I will love it.”

Commenting on her current style while living on her farm, the actress simply said, "I just dress how i want." Amanda Seyfried also showed her interest in jewellery as an investment. She also said that she would want to "invest" in "great shoes", cashmere, "cosy jumpers", and a "great watch".
