Sharon Stone’s white mini-dress from the famous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct.
Stone kept the iconic dress and her wardrobe from the movie which launched her to stardom.
In a new interview with The Times of London, Stone revealed that she made it a part of her contract that she’d get to keep the dresses and shoes from the movie. She did so because of a previous experience that taught her a lesson.
Stone had starred in a TV film in the 1980’s where her wardrobe was later sold at discounted rates. She felt embarrassed that the crew could buy her underwear.
She recalled: “I thought, ‘Never again.’”
“I had it put into my contracts that I keep all my clothes from films, unless they are studio rentals,” she recalled of Basic Instinct.
“I keep the white minidress from Basic Instinct in a safe but have a ton of shoes from that movie in my closet, like black split-toe Gucci heels and strappy gold-studded ones. The rest of the costumes are in storage,” she shared.
She also revealed why she wore a simple white shirt to the Oscars in 1998, where she was accompanied by her husband, newspaper editor Phil Bronstein.
She added: “I’d just got married and I thought it would be a cool, sexy tribute to a newspaperman to wear a white shirt with his initials on it. Since he wasn’t in the business, it was a nice way to bring him into my world.”
In Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone played attractive murder suspect Catherine Tramell opposite Michael Douglas as Detective Nick Curran.
