Trinny and Susannah’s daughters say pair ‘would be cancelled’ if show made now
Lyla Elichaoff and Esme Bertelsen told Tatler that they have never seen What Not to Wear. Elichaoff added, “You can’t talk to people like that anymore.”
Trinny and Susannah, the hosts of the early 2000s fashion TV show What Not to Wear, would likely be canceled if the show aired today, according to their daughters.
Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine were on the BBC show from 2001 to 2007, where they gave very honest fashion advice.
Lyla Elichaoff, Woodall’s daughter, told Tatler in an interview for the magazine’s cover story: “I think they would get canceled if the show was made now. You can’t talk to people like that anymore and say things like, ‘You’re so ugly.’”
Even though she and Constantine’s daughter, Esme Bertelsen, both said they have never watched the show, they remember seeing people stop their mothers for photos while they traveled the world for work.
Elichaoff, who is now a student at IE University in Madrid, recalled a time in Europe when a woman wanted to look like Hannah Montana. She said, “Nobody knew who that was except me, so I got to help.”
Both daughters said their mothers didn’t criticize them like the show did. Bertelsen, 23, said she had “lots of freedom,” while Elichaoff, 21, said she could mostly develop her own style, except for ripped jeans, which were a no-no. She also mentioned that she made some “really bad mistakes” in fashion, especially with Topshop skinny jeans.
Both of them enjoy finding vintage clothes on secondhand shopping apps like Vinted and Depop. Bertelsen, who works at Robbie Williams’ talent agency, said this is “a big interest” for her.
She mentioned that her favorite style is to wear something simple and then add lots of jewelry and a handbag to make it more stylish. She said, “I guess that’s something my mom taught me.”
When asked if they would think about bringing back the classic show, possibly called Esme and Lyla: What Not to Wear, Elichaoff said, “I’ve never thought about it… I think that’s their thing.”
Bertelsen added, “They were very similar but also very different, which worked well for them. I feel like we’re just too alike.”
Elichaoff agreed, saying, “We’d be too anxious.”
