14 DAY TRIAL // Ever since the Superbowl commercial she did for Snickers, veteran actress Betty White has been slowly – but surely – taking over. And we don’t mean just television either, since the Golden Girl has even been (jokingly) considered for a part on one of the biggest film franchises, “Eclipse.” Now, she’s also trying her hand at fashion, with a new line that will be Betty-stamped even if not designed, as Digital Spy can confirm.
The actress teamed up with a clothing company that will come out with a new line of hoodies and tees with her face on it. Some promo shots of these items have already started to make the rounds, and Betty White fans seem positively ecstatic about the idea. What’s even better, the 88-year-old actress reportedly got the clothing company to have a part of the proceeds from sales donated to her favorite charity, which, again, makes her even more loved by the public.
“Betty White has decided to launch her own fashion line. The 88-year-old Hot In Cleveland actress, who recently launched a pin-up calendar, has teamed up with Jerry Leigh Apparel to produce a line of hoodies and t-shirts with images of her on the front,” Digital Spy says. The items, all of which will go on sale this August, will also focus on accessibility, with prices ranging from $28 to $48.
“The company’s president Andrew Leigh told AOL: ‘With Betty White’s star continuing to be on the rise, she was a natural fit for Jerry Leigh Apparel, as we pride ourselves on offering the most cutting edge developments in the apparel industry.’ It is believed that some of the proceeds from the collection will go towards the Morris Animal Foundation, White’s favorite charity,” the aforementioned media outlet informs.
To make the items even trendier and more attractive for the younger segment of the public, the Betty White hoodies will also come equipped with washable ear buds and a jack to connect to an iPod or MP3 player. This is the closest fashion can come to functionality, one may say.
