LOS ANGELES, CA – A comprehensive new study released today by the Institute for Obvious Observations (IOO) has definitively concluded that celebrities are, in fact, capable of wearing clothing. The findings, published in the journal *Fashion & The Mundane*, challenge long-held assumptions that the rich and famous exist in a perpetual state of bespoke nudity or are simply beamed into their public appearances fully formed.

“For years, the public has been bombarded with images of celebrities in various states of dress, often accompanied by breathless commentary on their ‘outfit choices’,” stated Dr. Evelyn Thorne, lead researcher for the IOO. “Our research, which involved observing thousands of celebrity photographs and even a few live sightings, confirms they do indeed put on clothes, one piece at a time, much like you or I would when heading to the grocery store or, say, a red carpet event.”

The study further analyzed the types of clothing worn, noting a surprising correlation between weather conditions and garment selection. “On colder days, they tend to wear more layers,” Dr. Thorne explained, “and when it’s warm, fewer. This revolutionary insight suggests a previously unobserved connection between celebrity physiology and environmental factors.”

Critics of the study have questioned its funding, which reportedly came from a consortium of bewildered fashion magazine editors. A spokesperson for the consortium, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “We just wanted to know if they were actually doing it themselves, or if there was some kind of highly paid, invisible clothing application team. It turns out, they’re just… dressing.”

The IOO plans follow-up research into whether celebrities also eat food and sleep at night, promising further revelations that will undoubtedly reshape our understanding of the human condition, albeit with more sequins.
