Jaicy Elliott Says Her Hallmark Character in 'Romance in Style' Is A 'Force Of Nature'
Speaking with TV Insider, Jaicy opened up about Ella having her confidence built into her already, instead of her trying to find it throughout the movie.
“[She's] such an awesome character to live with,” Jaicy said of Ella. “She’s a force of nature and she’s so set in her mission to liberate women through her inclusive fashion that she’s working on. That was a really nice energy to be around all the time because it’s a very positive and uplifting kind of version of myself that I have to bring forward.”
“It was nice that it wasn’t like we were trying to support Ella as she was on her own journey to discover herself,” Jaicy added. “I feel like that was sort of done prior to the movie. We find her in her self-confident, full, unapologetic version. And it was nice to pick the movie up from that point and just see her as she’s carrying that into the world, rather than as she’s discovering that for herself. That difference is it’s not that we’re discussing whether or not body positivity is a thing, it’s that we’re discussing how to implement it in our society. And it’s an easy way to just see it. It’s fun. It’s non-confrontational.”
Continuing on, she says that she loves that the movie “opens up with her working on her craft rather than looking for love. Love comes as a cherry on top of the cake sort of situation but the main focus is her and her own growth, which I think is very exciting to see on a Hallmark movie.”
