After decades of A-list fame and high-fashion red carpet moments, one would think designers would jump at the chance to dressJane Seymour.
But while reflecting on all things fashion during a recent interview withThe Guardian, the 68-year-old actress revealed that’s actually not the case: “…nowadays not every designer will dress someone my age,” theDr. Quinn: Medicine Womanstar told the outlet.

Luckily, Seymour doesn’t mind repeating outfits.
“I don’t care whether re-wearing clothes is acceptable or not — if I’m feeling the dress and the occasion, and if it fits, then I’ll wear it again,” she said.
The actress also looked back on some of her most iconic looks, sharing an anecdote for each one.
“This dress was created forCrossings, which was based on a Danielle Steel novel, but I also wore it to the People’s Choice awards in 1996,” she toldThe Guardianof a glamorous high-shine silverNolan Millerdesign.

Seymour said that she and Miller (theCrossingscostume designer) became close friends, and often collaborated on her looks, because before hitting it big, the actress used to make her own clothes! She recalled that she would buy the “offcuts” at good fabric stores and create her own designs.

She quickly befriended a lot of other designers and in the ’80s, Seymour said she became the “unofficial muse” ofEscadadesigner Brian Rennie, then also, worked closely withGianni Versace.
“Gianni Versaceused to lend me gowns that were made forDonatella [Versace]because we were the same size.”
