Ivy Getty is helpful.
Model, fashion collector, philanthropist, singer and heiress to the Getty oil fortune knows her way around a hardware store. Hammer in hand, she’s fixing up her New York apartment.
“I’ve been in an interior design moment,” Alexa told the flame-haired Fix-It lady at the Tory Burch show, where she sat on the celebrity row. “I have built many things myself. I have hung up the phone [things] and laying the floorboards and painting the walls myself. I have done a lot of work in the country and that makes it more special,” she added.
“I painted the starry ceiling a few days ago in my closet,” added the jade-eyed hunk, who released her first single, “One Hit Wonder,” co-written with songwriter Madison Love. “It’s therapeutic for me to paint.”
Getty lived in the apartment with her husband, photographer Tobias Engel, but she filed for divorce in January. The couple married in San Francisco in a lavish event featured in Vogue. The star-studded 2021 wedding was officiated by then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and attended by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Getty wore an ethereal John Galliano for Maison Margiela Haute Couture gown adorned with broken mirror fragments.
The globetrotter is finally getting around to decorating her house. “I’ve been traveling so much that I’m not quite settled,” she said. “It is a long process. I feel like I had to live in it for a while to see the vision. And it’s exciting to do because my grandmother [Ann Getty] was an interior designer.”
Getty was raised by her grandparents in the antique-filled Getty mansion overlooking the glittering San Francisco Bay. A few years ago, the contents of the estate went under the hammer in a series of historic Christie’s auctions.
Getty’s aesthetic is maximalist, like her grandmother’s, with plenty of ’60s touches. “I feel like I’ve studied a lot of what she’s done, she’s such an inspo. It feels like going to a flea market, but it’s definitely a little more luxurious sometimes. I have so much stuff, but I want it to look like it’s alive.”
“It’s like a giant playhouse,” she continued. “I love him very much. I never really have people because I don’t want anything to happen to any of these items. Everything is so fragile.”
At the show held at the former Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg, Getty sat alongside Michelle Williams, Jodie Turner-Smith, Elizabeth Olsen, Mindy Kaling, Song Yuqi, Ella Emhoff, Joey King and Suni Lee.
Models sported sportswear such as bathing suits, string karate pants and jersey dresses reminiscent of soccer jerseys. There was a lot of urban sportswear, like wrap jackets with broad shoulders belted over trousers. English model and TV personality Alexa Chung modeled a loose-waisted ivory textured skirt with a fitted vest.
It was strong enough for Home Depot.
