The incredible true story behind Sharon Stone's iconic white dress from 'Basic Instinct'

InStyle, the actress, 63, said she actually picked out the dress on her own — and, per her contract, she got to keep her entire wardrobe."The costume designer, Ellen Mirojnick, took me to Rodeo Drive and said, 'You can pick out any one thing that you want for your character,'" Sharon said. "At this point in my life, the idea that I could go into one of those high-end stores where a purse costs $20,000 and not feel like an impostor was beyond my comprehension."Sharon, a newcomer to film at the time, felt it was important to be able to keep her wardrobe, largely based on the fact that co-star Michael Douglas was making $14 million for the movie.

Elizabeth Olsen’s Sisters: All About Her Relationship With 5 Siblings, Including Mary-Kate Ashley

Although Elizabeth Olsen used to be known as the lesser-known younger sister to superstar twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, she’s now made such a name for herself as an actress, arguably surpassing the twins’ fame. The California native, born February 16, 1989, started acting when she was four, but didn’t really start to find her stride until after she graduated from New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in 2013 after studying drama and finding critical acclaim for her leading role in the 2011 indie flick Martha Marcy May Marlene. She went on to act in a slew of other indie films and subsequently found her place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starring in many Avengers and Captain America films and also standing out as Scarlet Witch in Disney+’s WandaVision.
