Heigl's Dress Code

In real life are there dresses hanging in your wardrobe that are simply too awful
to wear?

I have given them all away in shame. The only thing I have kept is a Christmas dress my mother made me when I was 14 for a very special Christmas party, and my prom dress from when I was a sophomore, which I still think is kind of awesome and I would wear again, but everyone else thinks it's hideous, which I don't understand. It's a pastel plaid and really cool.

So tastes change? Or are just seduced by the moment when it comes to fashion?

It depends. When I first moved to LA, I tried following the trends and do what everyone was doing, but trends are trends for a reason – they come and go. I was doing an interview yesterday and they showed me old pictures of me, which was mean, and there were outfits where I literally had no excuse. But now I am very fortunate to have a lot of people that help me because I can't dress myself. I am very jeans.

Same thing for your wedding, or did you do it all yourself?

Oh no – I had exceptionally good wedding planners. I have no idea how I could have possibly have done it without them.

Were your bridesmaids' dresses uniformed or did you let them chose the style  themselves?

I did them all the same because I was going for a look and a vibe. I just thought it would be easier to say, `Here is the dress'.

Were you nervous about repeating things your character, Jane, did in the movie when it came to your bridesmaid dresses?

I had bigger fears than the dresses, like the day going well and as planned, that I don't trip down the aisle, that I don't start crying too soon and ruin everything. Or get too soppy when I did my vows. Or that I didn't get really drunk and throw up.
