Surely, many eldest daughters can relate to Su Diane Keaton's style origin story. As the firstborn, she says, "you are essentially your parents' first doll." Keaton's book Fashion First, out this month from Rizzoli New York, is an elevated scrapbook of sorts that begins with her early days in ruffled Shirley Temple dresses, home-sewn by her mother, and careens through what, in 2024 parlance, you might call her fashion "eras." There were sartorial detours aplenty along the way: a leopard-print DVF wrap jumpsuit worthy of Studio 54, mod minis, and even a short-lived blonde moment.
