These Are the Fresh Faces You Need to Look for on Every Red Carpet

WHO: Betty Gilpin
WHAT:Actresses don’t only simply act nowadays. Their roles call for them to dance, play an instrument, or, in the case of Gilpin, wrestle. The comedic talent will bring her skills to the Netflix original Glow, in which she’ll star opposite Alison Brie and Marc Maron as Debbie, an ex–soap opera star… who’s pursuing pro wrestling… in the ’80s. Honestly, if that’s not enough to switch your evening plans to the indoors, what is? Glow debuts June 23.
The biggest challenge in playing my role of Debbie in Glow is… “As a transparent-vampire-skinned pale person, I had to get the carwash version of a spray tan to look like a 1980s California soap star. So not screaming when I looked in the mirror was an adjustment. We tried press-on nails for the first episode, but that was short-lived. Everything else about Debbie was pretty damn fun.”
Having worked in live theater and TV, the roles that I’m most excited to bring to live next are… “I’m 30, which in actress time means I’ve been dead for four years. Just kidding. But I have noticed the roles are starting to change a little as you move into a different age bracket—when you’re in your early 20s, it’s a lot of lip-biting and eye-rolling and reacting to the guy, who gets to do all the fun stuff. I’m looking forward to roles where you get to be the scary clown. That’s more my wheelhouse—minimalism wasn’t really a Gilpin family tenant.”
As far as my own sense of style, I describe it as… “Kardashian hand-me-downs in the forest. It’s a lot of tight thermal long-sleeve shirts and tight stretchy jeans. I’ve come a long way from the teals and purples of my theater school wizard stripper clothes… but I’ve got a long way to go.”
But if I ever had the chance to switch closets, I’d definitely pick… “I love Ashley Graham’s style. It’s kind of Katherine Hepburn meets Jessica Rabbit, and it’s everything.”
When it comes to the red carpet, I prefer to wear… “I have curves that send me regularly to the chiropractor, so it can be daunting to choose what to wear to fancy things, since not many people design for boobs and booties. I connect so much to styles from the ’40s and ’50s, when everyone designed for the Marilyns of the world.”
The three things currently sitting in my shopping cart waiting to be purchased are… gray Toms. So boring, but New York summers are no joke, and flip-flops in the city every day are a surefire way to get medieval-fee. I wear these into the ground.
“Reformation wrap dress, my answer for big boobs at summer weddings.
“Panache Lingerie Andorra bra. This is the bra. It’s the one. Stop dating other bras, because this is your brasband and your brife.”
