Bryce Dallas Howard kept daughter’s style gender-neutral
Bryce Dallas Howard kept her daughter Beatrice Jean’s clothes "gender-neutral" because she didn’t have much hair.
The ‘Gold’ actress – who also has nine-year-old son Theodore ‘Theo’ Norman with her husband Seth Gabel – has opened up about how she styled her five-year-old daughter when she was younger and decided to let her "lead" her to which kind of clothes she’d like to wear.
In an interview with People magazine, she shared: "My original approach was that she was gonna wear primary hand-me-downs from her brother.
"And that’s what I did. She was bald for a very long time, and so gender was a little unclear.
"But that was fine, and there was no problem. I really wanted to wait for her to lead me in a certain direction."
Little Beatrice turned out to be a massive fan of girl clothes and wanted to wear "glamorous" costumes.
She added: "She’s just into all this princess stuff.
"And layers of costumes and anything that she feels looks glamorous."
The 35-year-old flame-haired beauty – who is the daughter of Hollywood director Ron Howard – thinks it important that she shows her daughter that she can wear what she likes, but also know what’s "appropriate" for certain situations.
She added: "I was talking to my husband the other day and I was like, ‘I feel like we should be giving her access a little bit more, so we’re not just like, making her tie together bits of her brother’s old pyjamas to make a gown.
Like, ‘Okay, okay, you like that stuff, we’ll get it for you.
But I think instilling an understanding as to what is appropriate, in terms of weather, in terms of your surroundings, all of that.
"I think it’s a good thing to pass on so that a person understands how to be adaptable.
"She’s just dressings the way she wants to dress."
