Kaley Cuoco Shows Off Her ‘Repellent’ Nightgown During Interview With Conan O’Brien

Kaley Cuoco rocked a very casual look for a Thursday night’s episode of Conan.

Conan O’Brien has been filming his late-night show from the comfort of his home as of late, and Kaley took full advantage. For the video-chat interview, Kaley wore one of her beloved nightgowns. Instead of quizzing The Big Bang Theory star about who she was wearing — as if she were on a red carpet — Conan asked her what she was wearing.

“What are you wearing? Is that like a peasant blouse?”

Kaley stood up to show all the Conan viewers at home that she was rocking a blue-and-white nightgown with a button front and an empire waist. The loose-fitting garment also had an A-line skirt, long sleeves, and a delicate ruffle around the neck. Blue embroidery had been used to create a grid pattern on the bodice. A video detailing the garment, provided via YouTube, captures the ensemble.

Kaley described the comfy garment as a “traditional 1800s nightgown.” She also joked that she’s been “living” in the garment “since quarantine” began, but her Instagram followers know that she’s been rocking a number of different nightgowns and nightshirts while she practices social distancing at home.

“Oh, you look like one of the Little Women,” Conan opined, referencing the characters in author Louisa May Alcott’s literary classic.

Kaley appreciated the reference.

“Yes! That’s what I was going for. Finally, someone appreciates it.”

Conan joked that his wife wasn’t exactly thrilled when he told her that he was about to talk to a nightgown-clad Kaley, but the actress noted that her interview outfit was not “a turn-on of a nightgown.” She also revealed that her husband, professional equestrian Karl Cook, isn’t very fond of her vintage-inspired sleepwear. The actress quipped that the garment is a “repellent” when it comes to her husband, but this clearly hasn’t stopped her from wearing it around the house.

Conan couldn’t seem to stop roasting the sleepwear that has become Kaley’s all-day loungewear. He used another literary reference when he said that it looked like something out of a Charles Dickens novel.

“That’s what Scrooge wore when he went to bed and got visited by the ghosts.”

Kaley wholeheartedly agreed, and she even joked that she walks down her staircase at night holding an old-timey lamp in her hand and wearing a sleeping cap on her head.

While Kaley and Conan seemed to agree that her nightgown wasn’t the most fashionable item of apparel, the actress confessed — jokingly or no — that she has actually worn the outdated garment outside of her home. She claimed that she’s sported it during visits to her local Erewhon Market grocery store. However, this wasn’t a recent wardrobe decision.

“Oh no, I’ve been wearing this for years in the Erewhon. Not just during the pandemic.”
