Getting to Know Erin Robinson: Fashion, Confidence, and Staying True to Yourself
Actress Erin Robinson is quickly making a name for herself with her on-screen presence and effortless sense of style. Whether she’s embracing new fashion risks, finding confidence through authenticity, or mixing unexpected wardrobe staples, Robinson approaches style as an extension of who she is rather than simply what she wears.
In this exclusive interview with Bello Mag, she opens up about the soundtrack behind her dream wardrobe, the designers inspiring her creative vision, navigating social media while staying authentic, and the beauty rules she’s happily left behind.
If Delilah’s wardrobe had a soundtrack, what three songs would be on repeat?
I would have to say Fashion Killa by Asap Rocky, Roses by The Chainsmokers, and Art Deco by Lana Del Rey.
What’s a fashion risk you’ve taken recently that taught you something about confidence?
A fashion risk I’ve been taking recently, that’s taught me something about confidence, is mixing more masculine fashion with my normal feminine clothing items. I love mixing a baggy pair of shorts or jeans with a cute kitteyheel and some fun jewelry to dress it up. I’ve learned that if you take a fashion risk, but also include one of your staple pieces that you feel confident in, you can learn to explore new styles that you normally wouldn’t!
In an era where personal branding is everywhere, how do you protect your authenticity while working in an image-driven industry?
This is a really great question. I would say protecting your authenticity stems from being confident within yourself. If you’re overthinking comments from other people on social media, you’re going to get in your head about your own personal image. Since social media has such a big influence on what trends are trending at the moment, I would say even if someone is saying something that you like about yourself is out of style or not relevant, try to steer away from those comments and do whatever makes you feel the most confident.
Which designer, era, or cultural aesthetic best captures where you are creatively right now?
I would say the designers Zadig & Voltaire, Isabel Marant, and AllSaints are all designers that best capture where I am creatively right now.
What’s one beauty or style rule you’ve completely abandoned as you’ve become more comfortable in your own skin?
One style rule I’ve completely abandoned as I’ve become more comfortable in my own skin is having to stick to one specific metal. I’m usually more of a silver girl, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started exploring more gold. I’ve learned that I love mixing the two. I gravitate towards fashion pieces that mix both metals, or even if a fashion piece looks like you’re only supposed to wear it with one metal, I’ll wear jewelry that contradicts that fashion piece.
