Drew Barrymore On Her Childhood Oscars Look Despite making little money on ‘E.T.,’ she got ‘Off The Rack.’

“My mother was a single working mother. We didn’t make much money off E.T., scarcely any, it was 1982, and I was, you know, a child,” she recalled, adding, “We purchased it off the rack, and that was the look.”

“And now it’s iconic,” RuPaul’s Drag Race judge Ross Mathews said immediately after the brief story.

Barrymore looked back at 20 years of her show-stopping ensembles for the relaunch of People StyleWatch as a digital edition and noted that her love for fashion extends back to her childhood on film sets, where she would learn from costume pros about what it takes to make clothes look beautiful.
