@Boxah She really has a astounding story to tell. Our styles have changed, especially here in America. However, French women and European women still dress the "classic" way. I have a wardrobe that crosses classic with my personality. Depends on your lifestyle how you dress.

My Goth makeup is part of my religion as well as my attire so shed be facing religious discrimination if she approached me and my Coven and bullying She's very sick and so is her partner on the show and so many people have told me they can't believe this show wasn't pulled off air for bullying my god how sick She's just nuts for real omg she's crazy a bully who is fake as can be

Someone should give her a new show about finding personal style ("What TO wear!")

[@kokolatte825]

Maybe that could work. She mentioned in the video that she might be a candidate for her show now based on how she dresses. I don't think so. She still looks well put together, while simultaneously being open with fashion. It think it would be cool to have a show that helps people find their personal style. She could even start a KZbin channel and coach people.

That’s a great idea 💡

[@tinabuirge2120]

Emily I watched a video by another KZbinr that had Stacy in it and she talked about how the show made her say a lot of that stuff. That she didn’t really believe it. After that video I saw Stacy in such a different light.

[@TheAtl198]

@@tinabuirge2120 but she chose to be on the show, and stay on it. So that's pretty shitty on her part. Not sure why you would see her in a different light after that? It's even worse in my opinion. She didn't even believe in what she was saying - she said it because she was getting paid to.

[@jackdrawsold4301]

@@TheAtl198 while I agree that if it was her choice to stay on the show that long it would be a bit shitty, you have to remember that a lot of people on tv are stuck in their contracts, we have no idea what her contract was, so we could never know if she stayed that long for the money, or if she was forced to by contract.

[@TheAtl198]

@@jackdrawsold4301 That's a fair point. I do agree. Honestly didn't think of that because if I were in a position where I had to do things I morally didn't believe in, I would be out of there, contract or no. I'm a nurse, and last year I broke a contract at a job because I didn't agree with what I was being asked to do. But I understand that not everyone thinks the same way. She might have been afraid that she wouldn't work again if she did that. My wife watched that show and loved it. I was always politely invited to leave the room during it, because I couldn't stand Stacey and wouldn't keep my trap shut about it. 😏

[@karenramnath9993]

I am so glad to find this video. I loved watching “What Not to Wear”, the clothes were beautiful and did indeed suit the guest’s figures. But my problem with it, as Stacy mentions, was that everybody came out looking the same. This is a problem a lot of us deal with...we find clothes that suit or figures, “normal” clothes, our friends tell us we look good, but we don’t feel like ourselves. When we see someone like Stacy running around in a princess dress with an elven hairpiece, we get that push of encouragement to wear what makes us feel ourselves. Thank you, Stacy! (And I looooove your hair streak!)

[@StyleLikeU1]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@mffmoniz2948]

The problem happens if all you have are princess dresses and matching headpieces. It's good to know the rules to blend in, dress appropriatly for work or different occasions, bring out the body's best feature, disguise that tummy or heavy upper body, etc. Those white pants with the heels looked cute. I'd probably wear those with sneakers... If you know the rules, you know how best to break them.

[@karenramnath9993]

@@mffmoniz2948 Also true. Sometimes you need a specific look for a certain situation wherein the people that you have to interact with simply do not have the capacity to accept that it’s ok to wear a Princess dress, and you have to play “normal” for a while because you are hoping for a certain outcome which would not be possible if the Princess dress were worn. Sigh. Such is life.

[@Fool_of_a_Toque]

I remember watching What Not to Wear with my mom when I was a kid, and feeling sadness and shame when she encouraged me to follow the fashion "rules" Stacy and Clinton set out. I understand now that my mother was trying to protect me in the hopes that fitting in would solve my problems, but really, feeling free with style is what's giving me so much joy now; and I'm super grateful to get to rediscover that expressive side of myself today. It's super healing seeing this side of Stacey, and I'm beyond happy for her and her journey too! She's a powerhouse! ❤️

My mom would always talk about calling them to come “help” me. I was just a little skate punk kid. It’s weird watching this now-she used to make people through away sentimental clothes and that part always hurt to watch.

[@rashone2879]

Yet there really are some basics that count. Ex. If a woman has a "larger" chest (I used to laugh at how they used that expression, you know, larger than what?), there are styles that will be more flattering than others. Fashion is about style, at least I hope it still is, and you know, if a woman is 5" 2' and weighs 165, she will look shorter and heavier if she wears those (God awful) cropped pants with the voluminous legs. Colors matter, too...I look hideous in orange...it's a beautiful color on some people. And so on. I'm slim, have rather narrow hip, but a "larger" chest...I don't want to look top heavy, you know, like a marshmallow on 2 toothpicks. So, I don't wear skinny pants with a big, flutter sleeved, flared out top. There are rules, that is, if you want to wear flattering stuff.

[@SunnyPaxton]

Fool of a Toque omg that’s such a healing moment 😭 life truly is amazing ✨

[@SunnyPaxton]

Rashone I think the idea is where does that idea of flattering come from? What exactly is this one standard that we’re all trying to balance our bodies to? And why that body type? If you genuinely feel good in the choices that you feel are more flattering then that’s awesome ❤️ I think it’s just about questioning, are these choices I’m making my opinion/what would bring me happiness or am I following some rules about what’s “flattering” that I picked up along the way? Then the choice is up to you, but it’s nice to question it and explore your motives a little!

[@rmrsgirl]

Wow, I wonder if she feels guilty for getting all those ladies to throw away the clothing they loved for something expensive and chic and conformist?

[@TheAtl198]

She should.

[@anabhousen7159]

That's always the part of the show that bothered me.

[@TheAtl198]

@@anabhousen7159 me too. I hope it was just for the show and they didn't really do it.

[@surlywithfabshoes]

Most of the time they didn’t love the clothing they had. They were hanging onto it to because they legitimately felt that was the best they could do and weren’t looking in the mirror nor believing in the reflection of those who love them. They were allowed to keep items that had special meaning. They did not always buy the most expensive items either but were encouraged to invest in some pieces that would have the most versatility. I think the show was great at the time it existed and I find it amazing that Stacy literally created two whole versions of herself It almost seems like the woman she was on what not to wear (who was dope in her own right) is a completely different woman than she is now, both equally amazing but different. That is a fucking impressive feat.

What not to wear just had so many awful aspects to it. The fact that coworkers and family nominated the participants, following them around for weeks then showing the tape in public, two elitist catty hosts talking shit behind someone's back like a cut scene from mean girls, throwing a poor person's clothes in the literal trash, giving them credit cards to department stores and erasing all trace of personal style. Truly the worst of the fashion industry. Just a mean spirited freak show.

Especially the alternative clothing! They ruined personal styles.

[@vlra2021]

But sometimes it was necessary

[@elefront]

I disagree about the styling. There are things I didn’t like about the show like the things they did for entertainment purposes like being catty and harsh while myself as a Personal Stylist would never do that. I also quite dislike forcing anyone to wear makeup or cut their hair too short. However, the vast majority of these women did end up having a breakthrough and looked but more important FELT better about themselves. I think that given the time constraints and the knowledge of the women about what they liked, they did a great job. Though the outfits may seem generic, the truth is that style discovery takes time, patience as well as trial and error. As you continue to grow in life and you experience more, see more and travel more, your style will slowly evolve with you. But when you start dressing better, learning what looks good on your body and feeling better about yourself, you are able to see possibility and figure out what is truly you. I think the show experience was the start of their journey.

Even as a child I saw beauty in the aging process. I think it has to do with the comfort, acceptance & confidence that comes with aging. Wisdom is beautiful, no matter what the package looks like. Loved this vid. Stacy- you are an inspiration!

[@sint0xicateme]

This made my day. What radical self love. I always saw her as snarky but I love this Stacey!

[@maddimartinez7894]

Seeing Stacy London be so much more free with her fashion feels like my own body positivity journey has come full circle. From hating myself and watching her put people in the most basic and “flattering” clothes possible to loving myself and watching her do whatever she wants with her wardrobe.

[@StyleLikeU1]

[@mistyr765]

She is one of my inspirations in terms of both her hair and her confidence. I was born with a white streak of hair and I honestly feel that Stacy taught me to love it and see it for its uniqueness.

Truuuuuuuu......we geminis are so cool 😎

[@julievuitt0n]

I literally watch Stacy on WNTW for yearssss as a child and I am now obsessed with style and patterns and colors ! She is my inspiration and I’m glad she is very open .ive always adored her and her grey streak !

[@surjeudi2249]

Her gray streak has always been my favorite thing about her! Glad she didn't dye it.

[@BrittKatSlat]

Sur Jeudi trust me hunny, she DYES the rest of her hair black. She’s 50. Most of her hair is gray most likely.

[@Introvertsan]

@@BrittKatSlat There is a lot of people in their 50s with little to no grey hair so is it possible she dyes it yes but not necessarily

[@TayTay33]

​@@BrittKatSlat Wrong. Not everyone goes gray by 50. You don't know what you are talking about, so no one should trust you, "hunny". Also, gray streaks are caused by trauma, usually in childhood. She has had hers since she was young and mentioned on a WNTW Q&A that she did not remember when it first showed up, which is probably true. I have two friends with a white/gray streak. One of them drowned but was revived when she was 3 years old. Right after, she had her streak and it remains. She tried to dye it but it does not hold dye. The other one was stabbed as a teen and noticed her streak when she got out of the hospital.

[@vaderladyl]

@@BrittKatSlat Yes she actually was paid by a hair dye brand to make commercials but she dyed only the rest of her hair, never the white stripe.

[@vaderladyl]

@@TayTay33 I have one two but never had any trauma.

[@Larrabeeman]

Stacey I watched your show when I was very ill. Don't ever regret being part of that show. You assisted many people, on a spiritual, psychological and physical level. My husband would even watch with me at times. I am 61 yrs old now, and am happy you are able to put things in perspective now that you have acquired wisdom that age provides us.. You are still beautiful, and I'm happy you are dressing in a manner that gives you joy. Keep that passion going. Blessings from Grace, from Moodus, CT USA.

[@Sean.A.M]

Omg I love that she's allowed her self to be free with herself/style. I loved what she had to say about back then and the show too. I loved the makeovers but sometimes did feel the people lost a part of them selves in certain cases.

[@audreys7497]

Wow ❤️ would love for her to be back on TV. Netflix needs to scoop her 😌

[@ABeautyConnectionx]

Now she is as free as the people she “helped” on wntw. Happy for her though.

[@MysticHeather]

I need those vans and I am SO happy to see that she realizes how she and the people the show styled were stuffed into a very tiny box that didn’t express anyone’s individuality. And here she is blossoming into someone who expresses herself in a beautiful and genuine, exciting way! It’s infectious to see her excitement and joy!

[@Indiegirl007]

Girl. What are you talking about, that princess dress is GORGEOUS. Edit: by following the rules on What Not To Wear, it has helped me to understand my body shape more and to find things that would be more flattering. So thank you Clinton and Stacy. ♥️

[@heatherframpton9693]

Yes, I agree about learning style ideas about clothes fitting better, and the woman who was advised to get a tailor to make tops fit her correctly. 😊 There were some good ideas given. I think that it's important to incorporate personal style regardless of career, etc.

[@joselinnesoto543]

Yay, I went down to the comments expecting so much hate but I'm SO glad they're mostly positive comments! You go Stacy!

[@yldoal]

GOD I love her. What an icon with T H E revolutionary self image so many are realizing.

[@dariawells7438]

I'm 46 and I'm finally living out my full-on own style and I LOVE IT. Thank you, Stacy, for your awesome style and knowing it's okay to be yourself!

[@mybubbles5552]

What not to wear was fun but I always felt that the show was all about conformity and how to get hired at a new job rather than creativity or true expression. I’m happy that Stacy feels freer now. Seeing her like this is like a breath of fresh air.

[@StyleLikeU1]

[@s.eubanks8152]

She used to be so mean and would trash all over people with her current approach to fashion. I hope she's being authentic now, and is really as fulfilled as she seems to be. I appreciate that she's trying to undo some of the fashion dogma and shaming she helped perpetuate. I'm happy to see this positive change.

[@afroditee31]

I'd love to watch her do videos like this more often, especially now that I'm older. This is such a refreshing look at aging, fashion, and beauty. This is the voice/perspective I really want to hear.

[@CryssLovesMusic]

She is so dope. 🙏🏾 Stacy London, because of you, my momma (who’s also 50) is rocking her silver streak. And it’s A LOOK okkk? 💕 Thank you!

[@1pixiegirl1]

I love you Stacy! Totally get what you're saying about feeling younger because I am a YOUNG looking 71 year old and still love it ALL. Every new make up, clothing, music, shoes...love creepers and Doc Marten's. It's always been fun since I was YOUNGSTER.

[@Teupluohoney]

[@jessicacroteau5600]

In the beginning of the video Stacy said looks like she should be on WNTW but nobody on the show found this much joy in what they were wearing. I hope someday I can find this much joy in my wardrobe! Love you Stacy!

[@neih800]

I loved watching Stacy on WNTW, but seeing her style renaissance is so refreshing! This parallels my recent desire to be more bold and adventurous with my wardrobe aswell. Keep doing your thing, Stacy! 💕

[@AnonymousPerson0182]

She needs her own show! Women our age need her!

[@nkley1]

This is just the reason I couldn’t watch “What Not to Wear”.......now THIS IS REAL!! Thank you for this!!!!!!!!

[@Lbrookes333]

Life changing advice: "Step away from the mirror and find your reflecting in the eyes of the people who love you and care about you and want you to succeed."

[@jirehtv1322]

I loved What Not to wear as a kid. I admired Stacy London so much! But at the point I started to start dressing the way I just wanted to dress, I saw What Not to Wear as a box. Don't get me wrong. The people really needed help. Their stylewas usually an extension of sadness of trauma. But I got tired of seeing them turn people into clones of themselves. To see that that wasn't completely her is sad but kind of refreshing. I LOVE her current style. THIS is iconic.

[@StyleLikeU1]

So happy to hear that you love her style evolution! Listen to Stacy's full story on our podcast :on iTunes bit.ly/WUStyleA, Spotify spoti.fi/2l894E9 or Stitcher bit.ly/2HNthb1

[@cgoiq19]

I grew up watching What Not to Wear, and since it’s ended I’ve had so many conversations about why it could never come back now because fashion has evolved to be so much about individuality and novelty. The “rules” don’t apply anymore. And to hear that from Stacy herself is so encouraging, and to see her evolution and her deriving real joy from her style is so exciting. This was inspiring.

[@bigpapabrolyz5231]

She dresses the exact same way she told people not to dress on the show lol, it looks good though

[@TheDrakelicious]

She can carry it though...

[@Introvertsan]

That's true

[@ArmednotTriggered]

Part of it is confidence. Most of the people are WNTW were extremely insecure and their clothes showed it.

[@carmagurl317]

Not exactly, most of those cases were really extreme lol. I think she looks good too.

[@Nananananaheckyes]

Not really most people on that show wore sloppy stuff that wasn't thought out or pretty. Stuff can be weird but stylish and thought out

[@feedakie]

I'm 68. I feel more like myself and happier than I was in my 20's. Thanks Stacy for the years you gave us good advice and thanks for your "renaissance".

[@TheAGcollector101]

Her thoughts are giving me such a turnaround on my viewpoint of aging. I'm glad I found and watched this video.

[@evangelinfranco4141]

BEAUTIFUL WORDS, GREAT ADVISE! YOU ARE A MENTOR AND AN AMAZING INSPIRING WOMAN!!!!

[@michaelzzaki]

This is soo beautiful to see!! I was so into What Not To Wear as a teenager and in hindsight felt really sad and weird about the idea of shoving people into what they "should" look like. I'm so happy for and inspired by Stacy London's current freedom! It's great to see this is where she has gone since then.

[@uwpride]

i LOVE her hair streak! I’ve honestly wanted to create this look on my own bangs for a long time

[@crb1959]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Stacy. I will turn 60 this month and this video and your essence in it is my new mantra.

[@ettabrooke6098]

Can you imagine her with long grey hair????? HELL YES.

[@fightmefairy]

I grew up watching what not to wear and I always knew that Stacy wanted people to truly wear what they wanted. She’s an inspiration to me as someone who made a drastic style change.

[@electrawolf5855]

I always thought that stuff on WNTW was bogus. Too safe and generic. I admired some of the befores for their eccentric styles. I hope they reverted.
