Netflix’s hit show is known for glam looks but the cast doesn’t have a wardrobe budget, Lazkhani shared in a TikTok viewed over 2 million times, saying, ‘This is very standard in reality TV’

If Succession is all about quiet luxury, Selling Sunset might be the polar opposite with its Diesel logo-emblazoned micro-miniskirts, opera gloves and #TGIF bursts of colour

The stars of Selling Sunset are known for wearing extravagant outfits to their property showings, business meetings and pretty much any kind of work event – day or night. Season six saw some of the most lavish outfits to date, including Chelsea Lazkani wearing her infamous Diesel micro-miniskirt, made from brown leather and stamped with the brand’s monogram. The skirt currently retails at £795, or around US$982.

But according to Lazkani, the property agents are paying for all of it out of pocket.

If the stars of Selling Sunset want to look glamorous, they apparently have to do it on their own dime. In a recent TikTok, Lazkani, who joined the cast in season five, answered questions on what she says is one of the most popular topics surrounding the Netflix reality television show: wardrobe.

According to Lazkani in her TikTok, which has been viewed 2.1 million times as of Wednesday, every outfit worn by the cast is paid for and styled by themselves.

“Do we get a wardrobe budget? Do we have stylists? Does anyone pay for our clothes? Do we get glam for filming? We get this question a lot,” Lazkani starts the clip saying. “We do not get a wardrobe or glam budget.”

“This is very standard in reality TV,” she added. “This is reality TV, you come as you please. On Selling Sunset, we definitely turn up for y’all. We turn it up, we are definitely glam girls, we love to be in glam, we love to bring the fashion.”

Lazkami says that for the most part, the cast does get glam for filming, presumably by a hired professional. “It is out of our own pocket. No wardrobe budget, no one pays for our glam, nobody pays for our outfits,” Lazkani said.

She went on to add that some of the property agents do work with a personal stylist to come up with looks for scenes in the show, but revealed that she is not one of them. “That’s why if you see me looking crazy, it’s my fault and my fault only,” she quipped.
