Drew Barrymore recently shared a heartwarming anecdote about her daughter attempting to reason with her regarding fashion choices. During a conversation with another celebrity, Barrymore revealed that her daughter referenced her past appearance on the cover of Playboy as a counterargument to wearing a crop top. The actress, who has two daughters, Olive and Frankie, with ex-husband Will Kopelman, appeared on the Playboy cover in 1995.
The conversation took place on The Drew Barrymore Show, where Christina Aguilera also chimed in with a similar experience. Aguilera, a mother of two, shared how her daughter's desire to wear a crop top reminded her of her own fashion choices, including wearing chaps in her 'Dirrty' music video. Both women emphasized the importance of empowering their daughters to have a strong sense of self while being mindful of their bodies and eventual sexuality.
Aguilera and Barrymore highlighted that their past fashion statements were about self-expression and empowerment rather than seeking validation from others. They stressed the significance of embracing one's body and feeling confident in one's femininity, regardless of societal labels or judgments.
Barrymore, reflecting on her decision to pose for Playboy at 19 years old, expressed that it was a way of reclaiming her power. She fondly recalled the experience, emphasizing that she had no regrets and cherished the freedom and joy it brought her. The actress acknowledged that her perspective on such choices evolved as she became a mother.
