“Because unbeknownst to me at the time, which I know more now, you don’t admit to buying dresses — because it means no one would loan a dress, right?” she tells the publication, noting that there’s a weird paradox to the concept. “People who are earning the most money are supposed to not pay for their dresses — and that’s capitalism. People are rewarded for being already rewarded.”

Her viral red carpet interview at the Emmys lead to the bigger discussion going on in the industry about the lack of size-inclusive dressing. “When you have curves or a different body type, suddenly the canvas gets bumpy, and so you have to adapt,” Bloom said. “For me, that would sound fascinating if I were designing clothes.”
