The most important thing is to just be good at what you do. You do a good job playing the character, and people will be taken up with your character, not your clothes.

Clothing is the first step to building a character.
Well, you know, with every character, if you're going to expose yourself, you've got to figure out every detail that you're going to play. So there's no character that you can just go put on his shirt and be fully prepared.
And costume is so important for an actor. It absolutely helps to get into character; it's the closest thing to you, it touches you. Some actors like to go into make-up and then put their clothes on, but I like to dress first; that's my routine.
Actors have an unusual perspective on clothing. You've really got to know the impact of what you're wearing on the character you're playing.
Using clothes to transform was a huge part of my childhood. But also, I've been acting forever, and wardrobe changes the way you feel, so it totally indicates the character you're going to play.
Clothes are part of the character. They can't but help inform who you are.
Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.
What you wear can be such an indicator of so many things. You know, how you feel, how you want others to perceive you. So, that is an absolutely essential part of building a character.
One of my favourite parts of acting is the clothes that you get to wear, because it's very important.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
