Described as the thinking woman’s movie star, Rachel Weisz covers the October issue of Lucky.
Inside she shares her surprisingly strong opinions on shoes!
For example, when they play into her career:
Shoes can turn your into someone else in an instant. I did a film called The Brothers Bloom, and I wore really clunky boots—and I was this eccentric weirdo. And then in The Whistleblower, I wore police boots that made me walk tough. [In Dream House,] I am a wife redoing a home we just bought, and I wore a lot of light sneakers that are all cute and homey and make me feel kind of doo-doo-doo, I’m domestic and painting.
But she loves them in real life too, explaining:
I’ve had this conversation with a girlfriend for 15 years that is kind of a joke, and kind of deathly serious, about finding the perfect pair of shoes. I always want to feel like a can take off if I have to—the British expression is, ‘shoes that let you run for the bus’—but I love high heels too. Sometimes it’s fun wearing very high heels and feeling needy…needy is great because you feel you need to rely on someone.
Of course, footwear isn’t the only aspect of fashion she’s interested in. She has also observed the late Alexander McQueen:
His pieces are works of art, but he had such a bizarre relationship to his own body. He was always on diets and…well, my perception is that his clothes were almost like torture instruments.
Hmm, interesting observation, Rach!
