We’ve had to learn a lot of new words this year (coronavirus, furlough, social-distancing) and finally, we’ve met our favourite thanks to Selling Sunset’s Christine Quinn: Whoredrobe.
In her latest Instagram post, Christine revealed she’s the latest cover star of Maxim Australia, looking ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE in a black PVC one-piece.
Under the picture, she wrote: ‘This is what a CEO looks like. Disagree? It’s time to change the narrative. To be a professional, you don’t need to adhere to what other people think is “appropriate.” When others tell you to “cover up,” or dress a “certain way” it’s because they’re terrified of your power. Don’t let them limit your greatness. 🌟 Update your whoredrobe accordingly and be a CE-Hoe. See you at the water cooler, bitches.’
We did a little ‘YES CHRISTINE!’ when we read her Instagram post. Firstly because we absolutely love a pun and cannot understand why we didn’t come up with whoredrobe first. Obsessed. And obviously we’re very here for her argument too that CEO’s should come in all shapes, sizes, skin colours AND outfits. We wish it was a debate we didn’t have to keep stressing, but a quick look at the state of the FTSE 100 boardroom stats will tell you it apparently does.

But mostly, we’re here for Christine’s totally unapologetic commitment to her whoredrobe. It’s just so genuine. You can tell it oozes from her and that she’s not playing dress-up for anyone, but herself. And the idea of having fun with fashion is one we’re all in for – especially if it’s a true expression of who you are with no concessions to worrying about what other people think.
Christine – who’s referred to herself as ‘dominatrix barbie’ has been open many times about her approach to dressing, telling Grazia earlier this year: ‘All of the wardrobe is all me, no stylists, so I'm flattered when anyone ever says that. I do my best to just curate a bunch of really cool looks throughout the week. I kind of line up and know what I'm shooting and where I'm going to be and what it looks like.
‘I am pretty extra and over the top, you know whether cameras are there or not. Every time that I'm out of the house, I love to dress up and I have so much fun with my fashion. I’ve loved putting more time and money into my wardrobe for the last two seasons which I really wasn't able to do as much in season one.
‘It takes a lot of money to look this cheap! If someone says, “You look like a stripper”, I'll say, “Thank you”.’
And, yes, you know that she would do. Then possibly whip her ponytailand carry on with her very fantastic life.
Even for Christine though, who seems confident and like she popped out of the womb in heels and full glam, it took her some time to find her truest style. ‘I went into the show wanting to be taken seriously,’ she told Vogue. ‘Even though I’m confident, I dressed in a way that I thought people would expect a realtor to look. I was a little more conservative, I covered up more. One thing I learned in season two is that [fashion] doesn’t define you. I can be a professional and sell homes, and it doesn’t matter what I wear.’

And ok, getting in touch with your full whore-side might not be for everybody, that’s fine. But you might like a little whore-draw maybe? A little whore-section, next to the baggy jumpers? And if you don’t want any of that, that’s fine too. Christine’s whoredrobe vibe is her truest self, it’s not about trying to be someone you’re not. It might though, be about bringing out a bit of yourself you’ve been missing, or need some encouragement (or tequila shots) to play with.
One thing’s for sure, after the year defined by jogging bottoms (which we love too, don’t worry), there’s never been a better time than 2020 Q4 to consider a whoredrobe update.
And if you’re up for ‘updating your whoredrobe accordingly,’ as Christine says, we’ve popped some suggestions below for you.
