CANNES, France \u2014 One of Julianne Moore’s first thoughts after signing on to the Valentino-adorned short film \u201cThe Staggering Girl\u201d was wardrobe.<\/p>\n

She had visions of wearing green, lavender and red haute couture as the star of the short film produced by the French fashion house.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I got there and they’re like, ‘These are, this is your wardrobe.’ And I was the only one in the movie without any colour. Because that was kind of, that was the story we were telling. I was like, ‘What? What? I came all this way and I don’t get to wear lavender?\u201d’<\/p>\n

Moore, who plays Italian American writer Francesca in the 37-minute film, told reporters she’s always been interested in \u201cthe fact that we feel compelled as human beings to decorate our bodies and our surroundings.\u201d<\/p>\n

And her theory?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s like this idea that we’ve chosen this because it pleases us, or we’re trying to say something consciously or unconsciously,\u201d said the 58-year-old Moore.<\/p>\n

Her fascination goes way back, to a particular purchase when she was a 17-year-old living with her family on a U.S. Army base in Germany. She saved up her money for a dress to wear to a dance, but her mother told her no black.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said it was too sophisticated for a young girl, so I took my money, I took my 80 marks, and I bought a black dress,\u201d Moore smiled. \u201cAnd I said to my mom, ‘You can’t say anything about it because it’s my own money.’ It was terrible. And of course as a mother of a 17-year-old now I think like, ‘Oh I can’t believe that I did that,’ but it was a really exhilarating moment for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film’s director, Luca Guadagnino, collaborated on the film with Valentino designer Pierpaolo Piccioli. It’s based on a screenplay by Michael Mitnick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
