Rose McGowan reveals the one thing they mess up when copying my dress...

What was said

"I was always like, "Why do the photographers yell, 'Over the shoulder, over the shoulder' all the time? Why do they scream like that?" And I didn't understand. Then I asked someone a photographer and they said in the pub in the line on the press line they said, "Oh, they make three times as much money if they get your face and your your backside in the same shot.""

Actor Rose McGowan recalls asking a photographer why press-line photographers repeatedly shout “over the shoulder”, saying she was told they can earn “three times as much money” if they capture a celebrity’s face and backside in the same image. In the same exchange, McGowan frames her own notorious awards-show outfit as a defiant response to being objectified, arguing that copycat versions tend to be posed “to be sexy” rather than confrontational.
