Celebrities can’t get enough of Laura Dern.
They’re so enamored with the “Big Little Lies” actress, in fact, that pricey designer duds with Dern’s face on them are the hottest items of the season.
On Monday night, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach presented Dern with the 2019 actress tribute at the Gotham Awards wearing sweaters with her face on them.
The directors, who worked with Dern this year on “Little Women” and “Marriage Story,” respectively, chose designs from Raf Simons’ Fall 2019 collection that feature Dern’s character Sandy Williams from David Lynch’s 1986’s film “Blue Velvet” and 1990’s “Wild at Heart.”
Simons and Dern have a symbiotic relationship; the actress helped the designer secure licensing for the pieces and sat front row during the collection’s debut in January. Her son, Ellery Walker Harper, made his runway debut in Simons’ Calvin Klein show in September 2018 and has vocalized his love for the designer.
Gerwig and Baumbach are not the only famous faces who have sported Dern’s mug on their shirts. In August, Kanye West stepped out wearing a long-sleeved shirt from the collection ($520) with the still from “Blue Velvet” on the front, much to the delight of Dern.
“That is amazing for a whole other reason. And this is thanks to the amazing designer Raf Simons, who paid homage to David Lynch in his work. But what he didn’t know is he actually gave me a tiny bit of cred in my household of teenagers, and I’m really grateful,” she told Ellen about West wearing the design.
It’s only a matter of time before Renata Klein’s face ends up on a pricey shirt.
