Jean Smart Learns a Hilarious Lesson About Fashion Mistakes

Jean Smart, the beloved star of Hacks, recently learned a hilarious lesson about the importance of reading the fine print—quite literally! During a shopping spree, the 73-year-old actress found a pair of white pants that caught her eye because of their charming green design. Little did she know, the design had a rather risqué twist to it.

While making a guest appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Smart recounted her shopping experience. “I bought this pair of white pants the other day, and they had kind of this green, embroidered vine or something. I thought they were kind of pretty and really comfy,” she said. Sounds innocent enough, right? But the reality was far from it.

In a classic case of “what you don’t see can hurt you,” Smart discovered the shocking truth about her new pants at the most inopportune time—during a meeting with her son’s college counselor. “I wore them to my son’s school to meet the college counselor and later, I really looked at them, and I went, ‘Oh. That’s a marijuana plant with a naked woman on one leg. And on the other thigh was a bong,'” she revealed.

Can you imagine the look on the counselor’s face? Although host Stephen Colbert reassured her that the counselor likely thought she was just a “cool mom,” it took some time for Smart to come to terms with her accidental fashion faux pas.

But the hilarity didn’t stop there. Smart also shared another amusing tale about her declining eyesight. She admitted that her text messages have started to take a turn for the bizarre. Recently, she mistakenly typed “J” instead of “I,” leading to an oddly self-referential message. “So it says ‘J will not be having dinner with you tonight. J will call tomorrow and explain.’ The eyes! Everything’s going,” Smart joked, capturing the audience’s laughter.
