My Wardrobe Malfunction with Susannah Constantine

Dame Kristin Scott Thomas and her competitive corset

We’re honoured to have a real-life Dame in this week’s Wardrobe – the fabulous Dame Kristin Scott Thomas. Her list of stage and screen credits could fill a whole podcast in itself but you’ll have seen her in everything from Four Weddings to Fleabag. And she stars in the new feel-good movie Military Wives which is out this week.

She and Susannah discuss jumble sales, deflected compliments, lost jewellery, Catherine Deneuve’s astute observation, the power of high heels and getting stuck in a clothes rut – and Dame Kristin reveals how wearing a corset brought out her competitive spirit…

We’ve all had wardrobe malfunctions – moments when our clothes badly let us down. Susannah Constantine has had many. Like the time she was at a Windsor Castle supper when her dress straps snapped, releasing her breasts into the soup. 

Clothes and how they define us have fascinated Susannah for years – and were famously explored in her seminal 'What Not To Wear' TV series and bestselling books.   
 
Now, she returns to her first and true love in the ‘My Wardrobe Malfunction’ podcast in which she meets a dazzling array of well-known figures to discuss their relationship with clothes – as they reveal everything from their 'comfort blanket' to their 'burial suit' and, of course, their ultimate wardrobe malfunction...
