The Oscars are a chore every time: Susan Sarandon

Veteran actor Susan Sarandon says showing up all decked up at the red carpets of award ceremonies such as the Oscars is a boring process for her.

The 71-year-old actor says she may be a movie star but pleads guilty for not being a fashionable one, reports Elle magazine.

"I enjoy beautiful things but I don't know (if I enjoy fashion). If I had your body then everything would look fabulous. The Oscars are a chore every time.

"I've known designers who've been a great help to me, Donna Karan Diane Von Furstenberg, and Todd Oldham all came of age as I did. I'm not a good movie star in that sense," Sarandon tells her "Feud" co-star in an interview.
 

The actor says, in her early days in Hollywood, she would often make it to the "worst-dressed lists".

"In the beginning, I didn't have any money. The first time I Was nominated for an Oscar, nobody would give me a discount. I would wear vintage dresses I'd find at thrift shops. I got on the worst-dressed lists. My biggest faux pas was in Cannes.

"I brought a little vintage black dress. In those days, no one was wearing bras. I learned the hard way that when people take flash photos of dress, it becomes an X-ray. I got a couple of awards in Rome and had this Dolce and Gabbana dress on with the bra showing. The papers thought I looked like a bad woman. It was too ahead of its time," she says.
