Jessica Kellgren-Fozard (née Kellgren-Hayes; born 25 January 1989), also known as Jessica Out of the Closet, is an English YouTuber. She is known for her signature vintage fashion style and videos about LGBT+ history, disability awareness, her life, and more. She reached 1 million subscribers in 2023.
Jessica grew up in Bristol and now lives in Brighton with her wife Claudia and their son. She is openly lesbian and deaf, which is caused by her disabilities. She is also Quaker, and had a Quaker wedding.
Tropes:
- Aside Comment: She often does this, where she'll be looking straight ahead, doing her normal talking for a video, and then look to the side and talk into a different camera to add additional commentary.
- Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: Her signature style is Retraux 1940s and 50s-inspired — she is always dressed to the nines even in casual settings, complete with '50s Hair and makeup, and often a Gorgeous Period Dress and High-Class Gloves.
- Cultural Translation: Jessica sometimes uses the American "mom" spelling rather than the British "mum" spelling.
- Dye Hard: Naturally blonde, she has dyed her hair red for about as long as she has been on the Internet. She also has naturally straight hair, which she curls to achieve '50s Hair.
- Happily Married: When casually mentioning her wife in passing, she will sometimes play a brief montage of her and Claudia. Occasionally doubles for Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?.
- I Am Very British: She often gets asked why she has such a posh English accent, and it's because she only lost her hearing in her teens, and she went out of her way to articulate more as it happened.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Somewhat downplayed. Jessica loves to dress up and is always wearing flowy dresses, skirts, and makeup while Claudia is much more casual and wears jeans most of the time with minimal makeup. They play with this and have done videos where they switch aesthetics.
