Shocking Things You Never Knew About The Golden Girls

Rue McClanahan Got To Keep Blanche’s Clothes

Rue, who played Blanche, actually had it written into her contract that she got to keep all of Blanche’s wardrobe after the show. Through the series, she was able to fill over 10 closets just with the character’s clothing. We can’t imagine what the entirety of her closet looked like.

Lucky Rue McClanahan got to keep all her glamorous Golden Girls outfits

It sure sounds like McClanahan and Arthur had exact opposite experiences with their Golden Girls wardrobes!

Blanche Devereaux was known for her sassy (sometimes daring!) sense of style, and she frequently wore a variety of glamorous formal gowns as well as stylish and fashionable streetwear. Never a jeans-and-sweatshirt kind of gal, the Southern Belle insisted on dressing up for every occasion – no matter how trivial or unimportant. She even dressed well for bed, always sporting a luxurious silk or lace teddy with matching robe and heeled slippers. Hey, a lady has to be presentable for her gentleman callers! Blanche was a style icon and Rue was lucky to be the recipient of so much beautiful clothing.

Any fashion fan would love to take a look through the Golden Girls’ wardrobe closet!
