Brenda Song Reveals How Partner Macaulay Culkin Inspires Her Style
Brenda Song is giving props to partner Macaulay Culkin and how his innate sense of style inspires her own iconic looks.
“He is so cool, and he has the best T-shirt collection. He’s truly, like, the true off-duty icon,” the Running Point actress, 38, exclusively tells Us while promoting her partnership with Marshalls. “He has the best wardrobe because he’s traveled the world and lived all over the place. So he’s accumulated the most incredible wardrobe.”
Song shares that Culkin’s ability to be “unapologetically himself” is one the qualities she loves most about him. (Song and Culkin, 45, started dating in 2017 and share two sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3.)
“The thing about Mac that I love, and I really strive to take inspiration from him is that he’s very confident in who he is, in his style, in the way he looks,” she gushes.” “So when he steps out of the house, whether it’s in a graphic tee or in a full suit, it’s all about confidence.”
Song teamed up with Marshalls to launch its Fall Fashion Field Guide, which is a shoppable edit highlighting the season’s defining aesthetics and how shoppers can create their own with high-quality finds for every style and budget. The actress curated the guide with her signature fashion perspective inspired by fall trends.
She has been a loyal Marshalls shopper for her “entire life” as she would go on a “two hour shipping excursion with her mom. Now that she’s older — and a mom herself — she still looks to Marshalls to help her find the “different versions” of her style.
“I really just wanted people to pull inspiration from these vibes and take that and make [it] your own. It’s not about finding that exact jacket. It’s about finding a version of that jacket you feel confident in, that you like, and that suits your lifestyle,” she shares. “What I love about Marshalls is that you walk in, and first of all, it’s almost like treasure hunting. You don’t know what you’re gonna find until you go in there.”
The former Disney Channel star adds that Culkin’s mindset inspires her as well.
“I very much aspire to always be like that because for him, he could wear anything,” she explains. “And it’s like to me I realize ‘Oh it’s not about what you’re wearing it’s how you wear it.’”
Culkin’s take on fashion has inspired Song as she now focuses on her closet’s “staple pieces.”
“I love a great pair of jeans, the basics, and then I really like to accessorize per season. That’s what I think is really fun,” she tells Us. “You don’t have to break the bank or do anything outrageous to find really great accessories to update your outfit to keep up with these [things] because everything is always revolving and evolving.”
As a mom of two, Song’s style has evolved over the years. However, Song tells Us she feels more confident now compared to her 20s.

“I understand and appreciate my body and I’m more just self-confident in who I am and I think my style reflects that,” she tells Us. “I don’t stress about it as much anymore because I realize that this is sort of like my uniform. This is what makes me feel comfortable, but it’s also taken me 38 years to sort of figure that out, and that’s why this field guide was such a personal thing for me because I wanted to just help inspire women to like to find what makes them feel most confident because that’s for me.”
Much like her partner, Song strives to show off her authentic self through her fashion choices.
“I want to feel authentic to me, and what I’m feeling in that moment. And fashion is subjective,” she explains, “It’s so subjective and so I’m like, ‘If you love it, wear it.’ That is my biggest fashion rule. If you love it, wear it. Who cares what anyone else thinks?”
