“A long time ago, when people wanted to do campaigns with me, there was always some reason I couldn’t do it,” Anderson tells PEOPLE.
“That was 20 years ago, and I was very tunneled with what I could work with. And now it’s just fashion, and it’s nice to embrace it,” she says, adding, “I love glamour. I love being bedazzled. And while I can be drawn to really expensive brands, this is more accessible, and I love that.”
