Sarah Michelle Gellar regrets not keeping more of her ‘Buffy’ wardrobe
Whether it’s fighting vampires or putting together a chic outfit, Buffy Summers always slays, but alas, the star Sarah Michelle Gellar doesn’t keep all those iconic looks from the 90s and 00s.
“I have a few clothes, but at the time we weren’t allowed to keep the wardrobe,” Gellar, 46, said exclusively We weekly while promoting her partnership with UScellular for the Global Day of Unplugging.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted on March 10, 1997 as a midseason replacement TV show on The WB, and 27 years later it’s still a cult hit. The fantasy show aired for seven seasons and spawned the spin-off Angel and continues to inspire new works (such as Audible’s Murdererswhich reunited several cast members last fall). BuffyBuffy’s success was initially a surprise, but now that her 14-year-old daughter Charlotte is embracing the same trends Buffy once donned, Gellar is doubling down.
“Isn’t that strange?” said the actress. “Then my daughter came back and she said, ‘Do you have any chokers?’ I thought, ‘What?’ Or she comes out with the white T-shirt with the dress over it.”

Us. “There was never a raise. I never grew up thinking about holding on to this kind of thing.
Although she and husband Freddie Prins Jr. (with whom she also shares son Rocky, 11), now has more space, the wolf pack alum is still trying not to hold on to too much.
“It’s funny even now, I recently did a spring clean and I saved my purses and stuff for my daughter,” Gellar said. “But I’m like, ‘By the time she gets older, she won’t even want half of my stuff.’ So I’m trying to figure out what to hold on to.”
Despite her urban approach, the star said she would definitely keep a memorable piece in her closet. “Buffy’s dress at the end of the first season was based on a dress and an Emmy dress that I wore, and I have that,” she said.
Proud parents! Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have been excited about their children since they started their family in 2009.

The dress, which she wore when she received her Daytime Emmy Award in 1995 for her role in All my children, even still fits. In 2020, the actress took the plunge with a photo of herself wearing the dress.
