CLASS ACT
“NO!” EXCLAIMS ELIZABETH DEBICKI, offering a refreshing (and concise) response to my question of whether she grew up lusting after high fashion. “My mother always had beautiful, refined style. She was a fan of a good silk scarf and had those key pieces — and my dad too — they both idolised quality. But I wore my fair share of Gap, Target and Kmart.”
Nevertheless, it’s hard to imagine Debicki ever went through a ‘bad taste’ phase. The daughter of two ballet dancers, the 28-year-old has a model-esque bearing — over six feet tall and born to wear beautiful clothing. When we speak, she has just left Oscar Party. (Before you ask, yes, Debicki is used to Cate Blanchett comparisons.)
