“Being out, I’ve allowed my personal and professional styles to fuse. I used to not get fashion, but I find myself understanding it �”enjoying it�” because it now reflects who I am,” Ellen shared to Vogue.

She added, “I used to feel this constant pressure to be more feminine; a quiet or sometimes not-so-quiet demand�”‘You need to wear a dress or people will think you’re gay.’ Now I feel a sense of freedom in dressing, and I’m enjoying it so much. I love wearing a Saint Laurent suit to an event.”
