The commentator and former Paralympian gives us a peek inside her wardrobe do’s and don’ts.
Each week, we quiz a prominent person about their style and the inspiration behind it. Ahead, commentator and former Paralympian Ellie Cole.How would you describe your style?
I was an athlete for a long time and didn’t explore my style because I was training six hours a day and I wore a swimsuit more than clothing. Now I like to look elegant and sophisticated, but ultimately prioritise comfort. I have a front-facing role in the media, so I need to look polished at times.A red knitted beanie I wore when I was three, going through chemo, to keep my head warm because I’d lost my hair. I keep it to remind me of the rocky start I had.
Something I wear day-to-day because I’d want to be honest about who I am, such as nice pants, a tee and Rollie “Derby” shoesI usually have a meeting on the other side, so I’d wear a belted Tommy Hilfiger dress from their Adaptive lineI don’t know if it’s because I’m an athlete, but I like a gold look, like what Jennifer Lopez wore to the Met Gala. I recently got my first prosthetic high-heel foot, prior to that I couldn’t wear anything with a heel at all.
Sneakers. For someone who loves comfort as well as the difficulties I have with shoes with my prosthetic, it’s very welcome.Australian Olympic boxer Harry Garside is pretty fab. He’ll wear a gown to a function and paint his nails. He makes a real statement and I’m here for it; it gives me so much joy. It’s great for young athletes to see someone so comfortable in what they wear.
