‘People were writing about me being a witch’: Why Stevie Nicks stopped wearing black
OHMYGOSSIP — Stevie Nicks stopped wearing black because she was tired of being described as a “witch”.
The 76-year-old singer recalled how she “freaked out” and insisted on switching up her wardrobe with pastel colours but eventually realised they weren’t the right look for her, though she’s still held on to them all.
She told Rolling Stone magazine: “I got freaked out at one point. People were writing about me being a witch, and I stopped wearing black and I made the girls stop wearing black, too. [Designer] Margi [Kent] made us all-new pale-pastel outfits; it was the Eighties. And then we all looked at each other one day and said, ‘Why are we wearing these Easter egg dresses? This is not us.’
“But I have all those outfits. That’s silk-chiffon stuff, it just never, ever goes away. That’s why they use it for sails.
“So it’s all in different storage units and cases, and it’s very cared for. Because someday it’ll go out into the world. I love going through all of it. It’s like it’s being in a magical closet, like Narnia.”
The Fleetwood Mac singer has kept hold of a number of her iconic outfits from over the years.
She said: “I just have the famous shawls, really. I have the ‘Rhiannon’ blouse with sleeves. I have a ‘Gold Dust Woman’ cape. I’ve had two of those over the last 40 years.
“I had a ‘Stand Back’ cape. I have a white cape that I wore for ‘Edge of Seventeen’ for a long time, but it’s very long. I don’t wear it much anymore. I have a long red one I love. Beautiful fabric. And the blue Bella Donna cape. It’s in perfect shape, like brand new.”
Stevie wore “nothing but” jeans for several years, but thinks they are too “age inappropriate” for her now.
Asked when she last wore jeans, she said: “A very long time ago. I wore nothing but denim jeans for a million years. I wanted to look a certain way in jeans, and when I didn’t feel like I looked that way anymore, I stopped wearing jeans. As soon as I think something starts to get age inappropriate, I stop.”
