#16: Who’s Wearing the Pants?
Ah, Katharine Hepburn – the iconic actress known for her fierce independence and tomboyish style. But even she had to fight for her fashion choices in Hollywood. That’s right, when RKO Pictures didn’t want her to wear pants – which were considered a controversial choice for women at the time – they reportedly took matters into their own hands and confiscated her jeans from her dressing room.
Hey, when you’re a trailblazer, you’re bound to ruffle a few feathers, right? But Katharine was nothing if not resilient, and she continued to wear pants both on and off the screen, paving the way for future generations of women to embrace comfortable and stylish clothing. So, the next time you see a woman in a sharp pair of trousers, just remember – she’s carrying on the legacy of Katharine Hepburn, and she’s doing it with style.
