LOS ANGELES, CA — A recent, exhaustive analysis conducted by the Institute for Obvious Observations (IOO) has definitively concluded that celebrities, much like the general populace, consistently wear clothing when venturing outside. The study, which meticulously tracked the public sartorial choices of various high-profile individuals, including model Hailey Bieber, found an astonishing 100% correlation between celebrity outings and the presence of apparel.

“Our findings suggest a pervasive, almost universal, adherence to the practice of covering one’s body with fabric prior to engaging with the outside world,” stated Dr. Evelyn Thorne, lead researcher for the IOO. “While some may speculate that certain public figures possess an innate ability to materialize fully dressed, our data robustly refutes this. They are, in fact, putting clothes on, one item at a time.”

Industry experts lauded the study’s rigor. “This is monumental,” remarked fashion critic Genevieve Styles, who has spent decades analyzing celebrity outfits. “For too long, we’ve operated under the assumption that these ensembles simply… appear. To know, with scientific certainty, that a human being is involved in the dressing process fundamentally changes how we approach ‘date-night standards’ and ‘street style’ alike.”

The IOO plans to follow up with a study investigating whether celebrities also eat food and breathe air.
