Generally speaking, Kelly Reilly shares little resemblance with Beth Dutton in many aspects. To start, she’s from England rather than Montana, and her on-screen portrayal of Beth doesn’t reflect the violent behavior that character is known for. Moreover, unlike Beth, Kelly isn’t a smoker. However, there are certain aspects of this iconic character that the actress can identify with, and she recently shared an amusing connection.
Last year, as the final episodes of Yellowstone were broadcast and rumors about a potential Rip and Beth spinoff grew stronger, Kelly Reilly spoke to Good Housekeeping about her character and her experience working on the contemporary Western. This conversation included her reminiscing over the years she’s portrayed the Dutton sibling and identifying some similarities between herself and her character. Although the resemblance isn’t significant, when asked about Beth’s American West fashion sense, Reilly did express her admiration for it and the underlying philosophy, saying:
“I appreciate the style of the American West, and there’s a certain philosophy that goes along with it.
I may not be the opposite of Beth, but for me, it’s less about fashion and more about an emotional connection. The essence of the Western frontier – the battle-scarred land we strive to preserve and nurture – is something universally relatable. There’s a certain allure to the West, its perils, its charm, and the breathtaking beauty of this American region. Coming from South London, it leaves me awestruck.
Currently, I find it rather unlikely that Reilly would resort to brutally attacking Jamie just to protect the ranch. However, their perspectives on the importance of the land they’ve fought for, as well as their ownership of it, appear remarkably alike to Beth’s. Furthermore, Reilly shares a fondness for the allure and peril of the Western frontier, a trait that aligns well with her character given her evident admiration and defiance towards her father’s endeavor to preserve everything.
As a cinema enthusiast myself, I must say that I share Reilly’s affection for eye-catching patterns, just like Beth does. In the recent Season 5B interviews of the Yellowstone cast, I made a point to don my striking cheetah print skirt – a choice praised by one of the actresses when I entered the room. Delighted, I mentioned that I had chosen it inspired by her character, and she replied with a smile that they both appreciate bold patterns indeed. During our conversation, she and Cole Hauser also couldn’t help but express their admiration for Montana’s breathtaking landscapes and their deep affection for the place.
The concept of style is equally important, as Reilly elaborated that she admires the aesthetic of the American West not just from a functional perspective but also from a deeper, philosophical one.
I own a cowboy hat, but I typically don’t wear cowboy boots unless I’m on horseback. For me, it’s not just about the style, but also the essence – the ruggedness, the spirit, the sense of dignity and pride associated with that lifestyle, which I find truly captivating.
In essence, Kelly Reilly’s characteristic of being both entertaining and profound, which she beautifully portrays as Beth, is something I eagerly anticipate seeing more of in her future performances on Yellowstone. It’s evident that her admiration for the American West culture, encompassing both fashion and philosophy, runs deep, and I believe this will be further highlighted when she reprises her role as Beth Dutton.
At the moment, if you’d like to catch Reilly reprising her iconic role, which differs greatly from her real self, you can watch Yellowstone by subscribing to Peacock.
