About/Contact Renée

I’m Renée Nicole Gray, a fashion & style historian, performer, writer/playwright, and designer based in the NYC area. I hold a Bachelor of Liberal Arts with concentrations in art history and graphic design from UMass Lowell, and am a member of SAG-AFTRA, The Association of Dress Historians, and Actors Equity Association.

I first became a fan of Barbra Streisand at eight years old, and my admiration for her has continued throughout my life. I created this site in 2018 after realizing that there was no source devoted to documenting her incredible style & fashion journey, as well as her contributions to women’s fashion trends over the years.

Renee Nicole Gray enter Barbra Streisand’s Village Vanguard show on Sept 26, 2009
Fun fact: That’s me! I was one of the lucky fans to win a Village Vanguard ticket back in 2009. Here I was the following Sunday on the cover of the New York Times Arts section.

My research explores Barbra Streisand’s personal style and her collaborations with the many renowned designers she has worked with throughout her career. It also examines the historical context behind her iconic wardrobe, costumes, and even her home décor. My goal is to offer a unique perspective on Streisand’s lasting influence on fashion and popular culture while creating a valuable resource for fans and fashion history enthusiasts alike. I hope you enjoy exploring the site and discover something new along the way.

I’m always excited to connect with fellow fans who would like to contribute stories, photographs, or fashion-related information to help expand and enrich this research. Every shared memory, image, and insight helps preserve and celebrate this remarkable legacy. To contact me, email Renee@streisandstylefiles.com.
