Speaker 1: Hi everyone, I'm Rachel Zoe and you're listening to Climbing
Speaker 1: in Heels for your weekly dose of glamour, inspiration and fun. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: the end of award season is here, and it's always
Speaker 1: closed out by Hollywood's biggest night, the Oscars. I had
Speaker 1: an eventful, to say the very least, weekend leading into Sunday,
Speaker 1: but wanted to share some details about the parties I attended,
Speaker 1: the fashion I saw, and of course I want to
Speaker 1: chat about the Oscars red carpet and after party looks.
Speaker 1: So here to join is my producer you all know
Speaker 1: and love, Mary Elizabeth. So let's get started.
Speaker 2: Rachel Zoe, tell us everything, tell us everything.
Speaker 1: So, for those of you that don't know, Awards season
Speaker 1: begins around December, like a little bit of a tease
Speaker 1: in December, and then goes full swing right after the
Speaker 1: New year, like the first weekend of January. Right after
Speaker 1: New Year's is like globes and sugs and critics and
Speaker 1: Directors Guild and Palm Springs Festival in Santa Barbara, and
Speaker 1: goes on and on and the looks and the looks
Speaker 1: and the looks, and then obviously it ends off with
Speaker 1: the Oscars at the very end to close out the season.
Speaker 1: So for me, throughout my career, I've worn so many
Speaker 1: different hats of styling and doing my show and all
Speaker 1: the different things that revolve in and around fashion weeks
Speaker 1: and awards season. So this year I was in New
Speaker 1: York for Fashion Week and working and then came back
Speaker 1: into Oscar Week. It's always a whole ton of events
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of business meetings and all
Speaker 1: the things that happen. And as I entered this Oscar weekend,
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of events on Friday night and
Speaker 1: then supposed to have two during the day on Saturday
Speaker 1: to at night, my very favorite one the Chanelle Charles
Speaker 1: Finch pre Oscar Dinner, and at eleven am on Saturday, instead,
Speaker 1: I got an alert through a very brilliant app called
Speaker 1: green Light App. So for those of you that don't
Speaker 1: have it, it's actually it's an app that my kids
Speaker 1: use for investing their money that they've earned or collected.
Speaker 1: And ironically, this app alerted me that my son had
Speaker 1: gotten to an accident, and I obviously had an immediate
Speaker 1: panic attack because I knew he was at a friend's
Speaker 1: house and what had happened was he went for a
Speaker 1: ride with his friends on an e bike with four
Speaker 1: of his friends. I don't allow that, just to be clear,
Speaker 1: and was without a I don't allow it at all.
Speaker 1: But if you're going to do it, there has to
Speaker 1: be a grown up it is with you, and you
Speaker 1: should be on a trail or whatever. So anyway, long
Speaker 1: story short, a friend of his stopped short in front
Speaker 1: of him. He then stopped short behind him. He hit
Speaker 1: the wrong brake as a reaction and went over the handlebars.
Speaker 1: And so thankfully he was wearing a full helmet, not
Speaker 1: just the helmet like you ride bikes with, but the
Speaker 1: kind that cover your face and have an actual, like
Speaker 1: evil Knieval style helmet, and he went over the handlebars.
Speaker 1: And I went to the er and basically spent fourteen
Speaker 1: hours and then two days and nights in the er.
Speaker 1: First for fourteen hours with the brilliant, brilliant doctors and
Speaker 1: medical teams at UCLA Hospital here in Westwood, and then
Speaker 1: and then moved over to Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, and
Speaker 1: basically what we thought he was going to have a
Speaker 1: surgery procedure on his kidney. He thankfully is able to
Speaker 1: most likely heal it on his own, and he's resting comfortably, peacefully, happily, greatfully,
Speaker 1: and he will never sit or look or breathe near
Speaker 1: an ear bike or e scooter or bird ever again.
Speaker 1: And so that was the Oscar weekend. And then Sunday night,
Speaker 1: Skyler actually quite frankly ordered me to go out and
Speaker 1: have fun while Roger stayed in the hospital. On Sunday night,
Speaker 1: we just kept kind of shifting out and because we
Speaker 1: obviously didn't want to leave him alone. And he said, Mom,
Speaker 1: you've already missed so many events. I know you love
Speaker 1: this weekend. Go have fun and then just come back
Speaker 1: right away after. He's so sweet, He's a love and well,
Speaker 1: we're going to have my weekend.
Speaker 2: We're going to put him in a bubble. Sweet Skyler.
Speaker 2: I've been lucky to know Skyler most of his life
Speaker 2: and he's somehow that kid is the little accident proned
Speaker 2: one's he from a very young age, has been giving
Speaker 2: Rachel near heart attacks fifth time in the er time.
Speaker 2: So grateful, he's okay, And I'm sure that was very
Speaker 2: scary for not only him but the friends he was with.
Speaker 2: And it's just very shocking when something like that happens
Speaker 2: and somebody gets really hurt.
Speaker 1: So thank thank God, And to all the parents out there,
Speaker 1: if you're pregnant or thinking about being pregnant, or having
Speaker 1: young kids, or you have young kids. The reality of
Speaker 1: it is. The things that scare us most as parents
Speaker 1: are the accidents. Right, It's like you know, but I
Speaker 1: would say that it's like you don't know how strong
Speaker 1: you are until you have to be that strong. And
Speaker 1: I would say that my strength has been tested over
Speaker 1: and over and I'm sure it will be again. But
Speaker 1: like I told Skyler, like we are done with ers, yes,
Speaker 1: and he's going to have to hire a new parent
Speaker 1: to come. He's gonna have to rent them all because
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm done here. I not, it's too much.
Speaker 1: Do you know?
Speaker 2: Typically Oscar weekend it's very glamorous. Again, this was the
Speaker 2: most I'm not glamorous. Not so sure an er is
Speaker 2: the most glamorous place to be. But again, shout out
Speaker 2: to all the doctors and nurses who helps guy.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, guys, for those of you
Speaker 1: that live here in California, this hospital UCLA Emergency, Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan Emergency, and UCLA Children's Mental Hospital I am without
Speaker 1: words for the kindness, the professionalism, the service, the gentleness
Speaker 1: with a thirteen year old boy and his mother, ye
Speaker 1: who almost fully fainted twice in the er. But just
Speaker 1: every minute of that counts, Yes, every minute of that counts.
Speaker 1: And I have to tell you that every single nurse
Speaker 1: and every single doctor was kind and gentle and honest
Speaker 1: and generous and accurate.
Speaker 2: Seriously the true heroes.
Speaker 1: So now onto like happy things, let's go about fashion.
Speaker 2: So, Skyler, did encourage you to leave the hospital to
Speaker 2: go out?
Speaker 1: I hadn't even tried on a dress, like, I just
Speaker 1: literally hadn't even.
Speaker 2: Well, you looked gorgeous. What did you end up wearing?
Speaker 1: I ended up wearing this really beautiful. I was in
Speaker 1: a very like I know this sounds crazy, but like
Speaker 1: I ran home. I was super late my glam team,
Speaker 1: Like I just said, I don't think I'm going but
Speaker 1: just hold because maybe let's see and whatever. And when
Speaker 1: I realized I could, God did I need to go
Speaker 1: out and drink and have some fun and dance. And
Speaker 1: it really was healing, but a little steam off really
Speaker 1: and but this dress was this dress by a brand
Speaker 1: that I really love called Bronximbanco. Okay, and they make
Speaker 1: these incredible gowns. They're kind of sexy, they're kind of
Speaker 1: they're very glamorous. It was and I threw it on
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, then this is going to
Speaker 1: be the easy way. Certainly more revealing than anything I've
Speaker 1: worn in my life, probably, but it was comfortable, it
Speaker 1: was fun, it was easy, it was sparkly. It was
Speaker 1: really cold out, so a sleeve was really helpful. It
Speaker 1: was chilling, and I threw on some big, sparkly earrings and.
Speaker 2: It looked like a million bucks.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that I felt like it.
Speaker 1: But if I looked at then I'm thrilled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you started to not at Chateau Marmont, Is that right?
Speaker 1: I did. I went to Chatau Marmont for the Netflix party,
Speaker 1: saw tons of friends there, tell us who Honestly it
Speaker 1: was it was all the people. It was all the people.
Speaker 2: I feel like Netflix always pulls a great crowd. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean they do.
Speaker 1: They're obviously at top of the top of the streamers,
Speaker 1: so and Chateau is like a home away from home
Speaker 1: for me always, so that was really fun. I kind
Speaker 1: of walk in and feel like I'm walking to a
Speaker 1: living into like a living room in my house or
Speaker 1: like right, that is the vibe there, for sure. There's
Speaker 1: an immediate comfort that happens when you walk into Chateau
Speaker 1: a shreck, you know. And then I literally just went
Speaker 1: after that to Beverly Hills Hotel, where like everyone was like,
Speaker 1: you know, coming out for Vanity Fair and all that,
Speaker 1: and that was super fun. I went there just for
Speaker 1: a drink, and then I went up to the Madonna
Speaker 1: Gayo Siri Party, which I've literally gone to every single
Speaker 1: year since it started, which we realized this year. I
Speaker 1: think was your seventeen whoa, you're seventeen who actually? Because
Speaker 1: I even went when I was pregnant. Wow, I went
Speaker 1: when I was pregnant with Sky and I was really pregnant.
Speaker 1: It was the year that Annie Hathaway hosted. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I was like eight and a half months. I made
Speaker 1: it till like one am.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you were like yeah, waving the white flag.

Speaker 1: everyone just lets their guard down and dances and has fun,
Speaker 1: and you know everyone's holding their awards. Everyone's like in
Speaker 1: their fourth Look.
Speaker 2: How many people do you think, over the years have
Speaker 2: left their oscar at Gio Siri's house?
Speaker 1: No one, no one, no one. They hold on to
Speaker 1: it the entire night. They do, they do. They're so
Speaker 1: happy and I listen, I saw people that didn't win,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's always like a weird like I
Speaker 1: feel bad for them in that moment because it's like
Speaker 1: everyone's just like like, you know, it's that I'm so sorry,
Speaker 1: but like you're not. You know, it's like such an
Speaker 1: awkward thing. But like, you know, I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, everyone had an amazing night and
Speaker 1: it was very glamorous. So let's talk about that.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the Oscars Red carpet first, and then
Speaker 2: I thought we could do after party.
Speaker 1: Okay, can I say something please? It's your podcast, after all,
Speaker 1: I just want to say something. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: things that weren't worn.
Speaker 2: I knew this was coming, yes, so okay, let's just
Speaker 2: be honest say your thoughts. I mean, I just it
Speaker 2: wasn't it was a carpet.
Speaker 1: Okay, it was it. Okay, that's it. I want to
Speaker 1: talk about favor But there was some good looks there was.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't your favorite favorite. Nope, carpet this.
Speaker 2: Award season, which if you listened last week, we talked
Speaker 2: about the SAG Awards and somehow they always surpass every carpet.
Speaker 2: But let's talk about what you did.
Speaker 1: Like, okay, So I want to talk first about El Fanning,
Speaker 1: my little fashion angel.
Speaker 2: She is an angel.
Speaker 1: She was an angel like a she. I told you
Speaker 1: the thing about Elle. For me, she will always be
Speaker 1: Princess Aurora. She will I will always hold her in
Speaker 1: that role because she really has that like pinky white skin.
Speaker 1: She looks like an angel. She is an angel. She's
Speaker 1: so kind, she loves fashion. I love her. Stylist Samantha McMillan,
Speaker 1: we started around the same time when I moved to
Speaker 1: LA She was one of three stylists that were nice
Speaker 1: to me and at the time she was styling, mostly
Speaker 1: meant she was styling Johnny Depp. I remember, and I
Speaker 1: was so jealous, not jealous in a mean way, but like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you get to like be with Johnny Depp.
Speaker 1: That's a big deal. You get to stand in a
Speaker 1: room or in a closet or in a studio with
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp. That is the dream, my friend. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: she wore U Jivan she and truthfully, you know, it's funny. Obviously.
Speaker 1: The thing I love about Elle is that she does
Speaker 1: always kind of give a nod to vintage and old Hollywood,
Speaker 1: and she does it really well. She does do it,
Speaker 1: and I think here was perfect case in point. It
Speaker 1: was inspired by a nineteen fifty two Chavan collection, like
Speaker 1: the same lace. And you know, this dress, funny enough,
Speaker 1: reminded me of this dress, this Valentino that I put
Speaker 1: on Anne Hathaway many many months ago when she was
Speaker 1: coming out in Deviors Prada. It just gave me that vibe.
Speaker 1: At first when I saw it, I thought it was Chanelle.
Speaker 1: Then I thought it was Valentino, and then I was like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: but you know it's not black and white magic, but
Speaker 1: it's perfect. I love the hair, I love the choker,
Speaker 1: I love the whole thing. Yes, the necklace was Cartier,
Speaker 1: which is just stunning. And we saw a lot of.
Speaker 2: Like retro hair to match gowns, which I thought was
Speaker 2: really fun because sometimes when they go to one it's
Speaker 2: too modern. It feels a little I don't know, out
Speaker 2: of sorts, but I thought all looked beautiful. The hair's back,
Speaker 2: she's stunning, she's donny, she's stunning, a fashion girl.
Speaker 1: She has a fashion girl. And I want to talk
Speaker 1: about Selena Gomez. So styled by Aaron Walsch, friend of
Speaker 1: the Pod, Friend of the pod and Selena, she clearly
Speaker 1: is running with this old Hollywood thing. She's this season
Speaker 1: has been her like old Hollywood glamour thing, and listen,
Speaker 1: I'm here for that. Like I come from that, I
Speaker 1: believe in that. I tend to kind of want to
Speaker 1: see that, Yes, these big moments the same way, I'm
Speaker 1: sort of like, I'm pretty traditional when it comes to
Speaker 1: like there's certain things that are forever moments, right, yes,
Speaker 1: And so when it's the Oscars, you want to just go,
Speaker 1: what am I going to I always think about it
Speaker 1: like a wedding, What am I going to look at
Speaker 1: in twenty years from now and be like, I'm so
Speaker 1: happy with that decision.
Speaker 2: That's a good you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And That's how I've always kind of looked at
Speaker 1: Oscars or these like really big moments. You know, there
Speaker 1: are moments where you can like go rogue, right, like
Speaker 1: the met Ball or like some of these big, big
Speaker 1: fashion events that happened in Paris and Milan, in London
Speaker 1: and whatever. Those are like those moments. But I think
Speaker 1: when it comes to Oscars, you're like, when I won
Speaker 1: that Oscar, or I was nominated for that Oscar, what
Speaker 1: did I wear? Right, you know, and I think those
Speaker 1: moments you really really remember them. And I think, like
Speaker 1: for me as a stuff, I remember when someone wins
Speaker 1: something in a look. I remember when they you know,
Speaker 1: didn't win, but they were nominated all season. You're like,
Speaker 1: remember what they were for that Oscar in like whatever
Speaker 1: year it was. So this I thought was very unexpected
Speaker 1: because it was by Ralph Lauren and it she was
Speaker 1: giving Sophia Laurn. I mean she really was.
Speaker 2: Yes, I saw on social media it was it was
Speaker 2: inspired by miss Sophila Urn and she looked stunning. I
Speaker 2: think she does the hair again, the shorter hair. It's
Speaker 2: giving a retro wave. I think. I think the color
Speaker 2: of the dress is really.
Speaker 1: Hard for a lot of skin tone.
Speaker 2: Yes it is, but with Selena's skin, it just looks beautiful.
Speaker 1: It looks very.
Speaker 2: Very glamorous, very old Hollywood. Can I ask you a question.
Speaker 1: Sure, I noticed a lot.
Speaker 2: Of these gowns, as they typically do, we'll have a
Speaker 2: train on them. Yes, these stars are moving around. They're
Speaker 2: not only walking these giant carpet. Then they're inside the auditorium,
Speaker 2: they're going backstage if they're presenting, or if they've won
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 1: They're moving around a lot.
Speaker 2: Do any of these custom designer gowns ever have a
Speaker 2: bustle where you bustle the gown?
Speaker 1: A lot of them? Okay, yeah they do. I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot recently where they put the ring to like,
Speaker 1: you know, hold it up like your rest and I
Speaker 1: think that's almost easier in a way than doing like
Speaker 1: a full bustle. Yeah, but yes, and now they have.
Speaker 1: When I was styling, they did not have these people
Speaker 1: on the carpet that were pulling the trains for the photos.
Speaker 1: That is a that is a way newer thing, right.
Speaker 1: I mean I went to an event last week and
Speaker 1: I got on the carpet and there was someone pulling
Speaker 1: my train. I'm like, you don't have to do that
Speaker 1: for me, Like, I'm good, don't don't. I'm I'm aways,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious. I want to talk about Monica Barbaro because
Speaker 1: I think she was my favorite. Actually, I really think
Speaker 1: that this door for me. I loved this. This gave
Speaker 1: me kind of like it went back to like the
Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow pink dress moment, but the way but it
Speaker 1: was very fresh, very modern, very ballerina, but still youthful
Speaker 1: and had like a sexiness about it in a very
Speaker 1: sweet way. Yes, And I feel like the more I
Speaker 1: look at this dress, the more I love it.
Speaker 2: You know, one hundred I think it. You know, I
Speaker 2: said this year earlier. But the way the skirt of
Speaker 2: this scown is structured, it reminds me a lot of
Speaker 2: the Dior that you put it in for Lawrence Lawrenson.
Speaker 1: Well it is, I mean it is.
Speaker 2: It's very similar in how it's constructed. But she, I think, Look,
Speaker 2: she's a fashion girl, she is an ambassador for Dior.
Speaker 2: Now she's her career is going to absolutely skyrocket.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: She's part of the ensemble and a complete unknown. The
Speaker 2: Bob Dylan movie, so.
Speaker 1: I have to watch that.
Speaker 2: I'm so shocked you haven't yet.
Speaker 1: I just love Dylan, like I love that music. So
Speaker 1: I feel like you're gonna love it. But sometimes when
Speaker 1: I watch those things that are about someone that I
Speaker 1: like love, I get a little like throne, you know,
Speaker 1: and then I still want to know. Well, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm going to picture Timothy Shalame as Bob Dylan
Speaker 1: in real life, like yeah, the way I do like
Speaker 1: Will Smith as Ali, or like Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison.
Speaker 1: When they're really good. It happens. They become that role
Speaker 1: to they become that person to me, Like Reese Witherspoon
Speaker 1: is June Carter Cash. I don't even know what June
Speaker 1: Carter Cash looks like.
Speaker 2: Never, and Joaquine is Joaquin is n Gosh, it's so true.
Speaker 2: It does happen that way, Okay. She also wore Monica
Speaker 2: wore a gorgeous chinkle and.
Speaker 1: I saw this live. Actually, yeah, I ran into her
Speaker 1: at the.
Speaker 2: BHH actually tell us everything was stunning.
Speaker 1: She's a love she's stunning, and this was gorgeous. It
Speaker 1: was very effortless. It fit her flawlessly. And I just
Speaker 1: loved her looks for the night. But honestly, that do
Speaker 1: your flawless perfection now, Emma Stone. So Emma Stone. I
Speaker 1: saw also in person. She's the coolest. She is. She's
Speaker 1: the coolest, Yeah, she really. I've met her so many times.
Speaker 1: She's just she's friendly, she's funny, she's really cool, yep,
Speaker 1: and very effortless.
Speaker 2: Honestly, she's always been, in my opinion, one of the
Speaker 2: like you feel like you know her or want to
Speaker 2: know her to hang out with her.
Speaker 1: She feels like your funny best friend.
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly and she looks stunning. She was in a
Speaker 2: customed Louisvaiton.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 2: She has simple she has very very pixy cut hair
Speaker 2: right now. So I like what they did with like
Speaker 2: the little like wave flapper yep, twenties via fingerwave. She's gorgeous,
Speaker 2: I mean, and to pull.
Speaker 1: Off I know, hair like that and no jewelry, very
Speaker 1: very like minimal. Yeah. That was the biggest challenge for
Speaker 1: me to be honest with you as a star. Yeah
Speaker 1: was if a client said I just don't really feel
Speaker 1: like I want to wear jewelry, and I like that
Speaker 1: made me want to go cry in a bathroom.
Speaker 2: You were like, we can't work together.
Speaker 1: Well I just was like, yeah, we're not soulmates. You
Speaker 1: know what's funny? Yeah, where this is where this ends.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Jennifer Garner started off wearing
Speaker 1: like a simple diamond on a chain when I met her,
Speaker 1: and by the third fitting, she was like, let's do
Speaker 1: jewelry first. I was like, you are my people. You
Speaker 1: changed her.
Speaker 2: I love that, and you changed.
Speaker 1: I think she did it for me, like I think
Speaker 1: she just kind of but then I think she just
Speaker 1: genuinely fell in love with jewelry. Yeah, I think people
Speaker 1: fear it. They're like, it's not me, it's too much,
Speaker 1: it's do this, it's do that. And then they and
Speaker 1: then they wear it and they're like, there's no going back.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like flying first class. You can't go back.
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's very hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think too, it's like very I feel like
Speaker 2: when you're if you're not use storing a lot of jewelry,
Speaker 2: it's it feels very like attention grabbing. When you have
Speaker 2: a lot of it on totally, you have to like,
Speaker 2: you know, you're you're like personality and you're like comfortability
Speaker 2: with attention as to like meet in the middle.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm obsessed with this Bruna Mark how do you
Speaker 1: say it?
Speaker 2: Brenda Marcazine Marcazini Marcazine. I believe she's a Brazilian born actress.
Speaker 1: She's stunning.
Speaker 2: She's literally like a model. She's wearing this white Versace
Speaker 2: gown and this drop dead gorgeous diamond necklace.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love this look. Here's the thing for me
Speaker 1: as a stylist. I for as much as I love
Speaker 1: like a gown moment in the drama, there is sometimes
Speaker 1: I just die for the most beautifully tailored, white sculpted gown. Yep.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't get old for me, it doesn't ever
Speaker 1: get old. And then for me I become I go
Speaker 1: to the jewelry at that point, right, So this necklace
Speaker 1: was a moment right too. It's really stunning beautiful. I
Speaker 1: would have probably done emeralds, but some colored stone would
Speaker 1: yet very pretty. You know.
Speaker 2: It's funny. This dress is very, very similar in shape
Speaker 2: and structure to Monica's gown at the sag Awards. That
Speaker 2: the red plunging correct the York gown. Yes, so this
Speaker 2: is a version of that, but in white. She looks gorgeous.
Speaker 1: But no one can sculpt a gown on the body
Speaker 1: of the way Verslachi counts. I have to tell you,
Speaker 1: and I've seen the inner workings of what goes on underneath. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it's an art form at its greatest. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Zoe Saldana. So Zoe's Suldana is. I
Speaker 1: have the privilege of knowing her over the years. She's
Speaker 1: so strikingly beautiful, so gorgeous, like without also like her
Speaker 1: smiles beautiful, but she's beautiful and her soul's beautiful like
Speaker 1: meaning when she talks, she's even more beautiful, like without
Speaker 1: an ounce of makeup, without you know, like she This
Speaker 1: award season I think has been interesting because I think
Speaker 1: from a style perspective, she's worn mostly and only black,
Speaker 1: with different architecture, with different drama, and then she obviously
Speaker 1: came in this like Bordeaux custom ysl gown and you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's beautiful. I think it's something
Speaker 1: that she can pull off. I think it's something that
Speaker 1: not everyone necessarily understands or loves. But I just think
Speaker 1: the color on her is beautiful. I think it's giving
Speaker 1: me European effortlessness. I love the glove, I love the necklace.
Speaker 1: I love the emerald in the necklace. You know, I mean,
Speaker 1: she's studying, and by the way she won, she's a winner,
Speaker 1: win or winner.
Speaker 2: I also liked that we put this up on social
Speaker 2: as a pole and it was pretty split more leaning
Speaker 2: to a note.
Speaker 1: That's what I was saying, because I think it's not
Speaker 1: a crowd pleaser. It's not a universal crowd pleaser.
Speaker 2: I agree it's outside the box for sure, But again,
Speaker 2: I was thrilled to see her in not all black
Speaker 2: like she's been doing and Opera Glove. Are we done
Speaker 2: with them? Do you want them to say?
Speaker 1: Do you want them to go? I'm not done with
Speaker 1: them yet, okay, And I like that hers are sheer.
Speaker 1: I'm not done with them. I think, yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: done with them. I think they just have to be used,
Speaker 1: right because I just saw, you know, Nicole Kidman wore
Speaker 1: them with the Valenciaga and it was like life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is beautiful.
Speaker 1: You know, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about We've talked about them so much,
Speaker 2: but how can you not Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done with the costume dressing. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: done with the costume dressing. But but the Scott Brelly
Speaker 1: that Ariana Grande wore to perform beautiful, it's perfection.
Speaker 2: What do you think of the red carpet dress?
Speaker 1: It's I I just want to It's not for me.
Speaker 1: I want to look at her and I want to
Speaker 1: look at her. Yes, you know, and I understand dressing
Speaker 1: for the role, but I also think I also think
Speaker 1: we want her to be Ariana Grande too, And I
Speaker 1: think I think she's done a lot of princess she's
Speaker 1: done a lot of character, she's done a lot of
Speaker 1: method dressing, method dressing. But I think it's the same
Speaker 1: thing with Marcot Robbie. By the end of this season,
Speaker 1: we were just like, let's just be Margot Robbie right now,
Speaker 1: let's let I think, let's let Barby go. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of where I sit here.
Speaker 2: Well, the fund's not over because that was just a
Speaker 2: Wicked Part one I don't.
Speaker 1: Do last week.
Speaker 2: There's this is gonna be like, you know, all new
Speaker 2: looks for Wicked Part two. Look Cyndia Rivo and and
Speaker 2: and to Ariana too, like this.
Speaker 1: They they gave the people, I think, what they wanted.
Speaker 2: They gave the fans of the Wicked movie the musical theater,
Speaker 2: like they gave the people what they wanted, right, Ariana
Speaker 2: literally looks like Glinda in the Bubble sort of, you know, literally,
Speaker 2: And Canthia Rivo is wearing this like insanely dramatic deep
Speaker 2: green velvet by Louis Vuitton. And again if you could
Speaker 2: see her nails too, she has like Oz themed manicure
Speaker 2: which she always is rocking the nails. But I actually
Speaker 2: was researching her look and it's actually a nod to
Speaker 2: Hattie McDaniel, who was the first black female to win
Speaker 2: an oscar for Gone with the Wind, And so this
Speaker 2: gown is a nod to sort of Hattie in her success.
Speaker 2: And you know, Scarlett O'Hare wars the big green curtain
Speaker 2: gown in the movie. So I get, I get the storytelling,
Speaker 2: and I get what she's doing, and I think, you know,
Speaker 2: if we're going to do it, and if you are
Speaker 2: going to commit to this method dressing that we've been
Speaker 2: seeing them do, do it, and she did it. You know,
Speaker 2: her gown when she performed was also stunning. Arianna's you know,
Speaker 2: she had that ruby red slipper. I'll show it was
Speaker 2: very beautiful again, very dramatic, very her.
Speaker 1: I do in my next life want to wear the
Speaker 1: red dress.
Speaker 2: But the two of them singing together to open the
Speaker 2: Oscars was breathtaking. I do need to show you that clip.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need to like rewatch the whole the whole show,
Speaker 1: the same way I had to do the Grand What.
Speaker 2: Were you doing sitting in the hospital?
Speaker 1: Just kidding. The amount of times I have not watched
Speaker 1: the Oscars definitely trump's the amount of times I have.
Speaker 1: That's true, Okay, Halle Berry, my ageless friend, my age.
Speaker 1: She is just perfect.
Speaker 2: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: It's not fair. She's there with like j Lo being.
Speaker 2: I was literally going to say, god, the rachel Zo
Speaker 2: saying for j Low applies to Halle Berry. She like
Speaker 2: has never looked better. It's kind of annoying. I mean,
Speaker 2: she's she's us and a Christian Ciriano gown. It's very
Speaker 2: cool in the way it's constructed. It reminds me tell
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, because you're you know, fashion Encyclopedia.
Speaker 2: Didn't Tom Ford kind of start this like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yes, America broker. I was going to say, thing, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I put Anne Hathaway in it for the for her
Speaker 1: final look for the Oscars when she was hosting. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was her final look. It was broken mirror on
Speaker 1: like a lace kind of long sleeve and it's and
Speaker 1: it's stayed. It's cool. Always like she looks amazing.
Speaker 2: If you're a cool Hollywood it girl, Hollyberry is an
Speaker 2: Academy Award winner, Like she's she is that girl.
Speaker 1: She just looks incredible.
Speaker 2: And I love the hair. I love the bob hair.
Speaker 2: I just think she looks she would you have given
Speaker 2: would you wouldn't would you give her any kind of
Speaker 2: necklace or a bigger earring.
Speaker 1: I might have done more of a moment in the
Speaker 1: ear or something right here, like I The only thing
Speaker 1: I would do on the neck would have been a choker,
Speaker 1: not like a massive one, because you don't want it
Speaker 1: to go like costume me, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But I would have done like a cool kind of
Speaker 1: you know, maybe like quarter inch thick choker, just super
Speaker 1: short because you don't want to cover her collar bones,
Speaker 1: like she's such a beautiful nack. Yes. And then Mindy Kayling,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that because Fernando and Laura
Speaker 1: Cam the duo Dynamic duo behind Oscar de la renta
Speaker 1: friend of the pod. When I saw this dress in
Speaker 1: New York being shown, I texted Fernando and I said,
Speaker 1: if that does not show up at the Oscars, I'm
Speaker 1: literally going to scream. Yeah. And I said, and I
Speaker 1: know who I want it on because I want this
Speaker 1: person to win. But I was so incredibly happy to
Speaker 1: see it on Mindy Kaylen because Mindy is having her.
Speaker 1: She's been in a moment right. She is amazing, She
Speaker 1: looks stunning. You can tell she feels really good. She
Speaker 1: looks beautiful and it fits her flawlessly. And this dress
Speaker 1: is perfection. It's so like I love it. This is
Speaker 1: an absolutely one of my favorite dresses of the night
Speaker 1: for sure. Silver a big moment. Okay, Mikey Madison in.
Speaker 2: De your so this to your Oscar winner.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oscar winner always will be in front of her
Speaker 1: name now. Yes. Inspired by a vintage du Or gown
Speaker 1: from nineteen fifty six. And I thought this was again,
Speaker 1: this is real old Hollywood, you know. It's real old
Speaker 1: Hollywood hair back choker, you know. I thought this was
Speaker 1: really chic, you know. And I think, and I think,
Speaker 1: a perfect dress to win the Oscar.
Speaker 2: It's very like young ANGEENU yes vibe. I feel like
Speaker 2: if you were to put Mikey Madison and el Fanning
Speaker 2: on a carpet and take black and white photos of them, ye,
Speaker 2: you very easily could go, oh it's nineteen fifty five.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I would agree.
Speaker 2: I thought they executed the vintage Hollywood glamb so well.
Speaker 2: I thought her speech was really cute and wonderful and
Speaker 2: she I feel like Mikey Madison is another rising star
Speaker 2: and she clearly isn't afraid to play with fashion. I
Speaker 2: think throughout the whole Award season she's done a lot
Speaker 2: of different kind of looks. So I'm really into this
Speaker 2: old Hollywood glamor. For the Oscars, I thought she looked beautiful.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about Lupita Jongo. I love her. I
Speaker 1: love her. She's also an angel and this time an
Speaker 1: angel in Chanel.
Speaker 2: Right, Whi's not that much Chanel in the car, but
Speaker 2: now there wasn't.
Speaker 1: No, there wasn't. But there's a lot of change happening
Speaker 1: over a channel creative directors. So I think sometimes when
Speaker 1: you do that, it's it's just harder.
Speaker 2: And like you said, they do host a pre oscar
Speaker 2: where there was like fifty fifty starlets in Chanel. Right,
Speaker 2: But Lupita looks beautiful. She had a really cool pearl
Speaker 2: detailing in her hair that was pulled back. It was
Speaker 2: really really beautiful. She just looks like an angel.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about Vanity Fair. Nine times out of ten,
Speaker 1: I prefer the looks at Vanity Fair for the Oscars.
Speaker 2: This y, that's because what the actor has more say.
Speaker 1: And what they get to wear at Vanity Fair. How
Speaker 1: do you mean like they for better or for worse.
Speaker 1: People are still contracted are Yeah, they're still contracted to
Speaker 1: wear for Vanity fair. Not always, not everyone, but certainly
Speaker 1: some people. Okay, well, okay, my theory busted. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about my favorite, Miss KaiA Gerber. So this funny enough,
Speaker 1: in my archive, I have something similar that that has
Speaker 1: the same sort of like detail as this dress. It's
Speaker 1: for Argantino. So it's this gorgeous archive Valentino. I forget
Speaker 1: the year. But Kaya. The thing with Kaya to me,
Speaker 1: she always does it right. And you know, I want
Speaker 1: to say, look, as a stylist forever, I'm I want
Speaker 1: to hand so much to the stylists because there's so
Speaker 1: much that goes into this. Yeah, but I also think
Speaker 1: that there are people. There are every once in a
Speaker 1: while there is a talent who has an innate style
Speaker 1: or instinct to know exactly what to do and how
Speaker 1: to do it, like a Nicole Kibman, right. And I
Speaker 1: think Kaya has shown that she doesn't always do a
Speaker 1: look at me. Sometimes in the moments of the moments,
Speaker 1: she'll do the most simple thing, you know, and I
Speaker 1: think here, like, it's not flashy, it's not sparkly, it's
Speaker 1: not naked, it's not, and she just looks beautiful. She
Speaker 1: just I feel like she I never, I never don't
Speaker 1: love what she's went.
Speaker 2: Right to me when I first thought, I thought, oh,
Speaker 2: it's Chloe, like right, it's giving Yeah, Chloe. And the
Speaker 2: cape that's over the gown was clearly detachable because there
Speaker 2: are photos of her, yes, just on Vanity Fair with
Speaker 2: Jess the dress, which I I love the cape. I
Speaker 2: think it like makes the whole, the whole vibe. But yeah,
Speaker 2: she's I mean, she's stunning. She's gonna be stunning. She's
Speaker 2: acting a lot more so. I think she's definitely saying
Speaker 2: she's here, She's here to play.
Speaker 1: Kaya is the best. She's also an angel, and I
Speaker 1: love that she's such a bookworm too. That's what's so funny.
Speaker 1: She's like this diehard fashion person. She's an actor and
Speaker 1: a bookworm. Love it, Okay, Kendall Jenner always perfect. She's
Speaker 1: just she just hits that carpet, right, doesn't she? Yep,
Speaker 1: So this is a Muclair vintage muglair. She's been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of that. I think. Look, you know, for me,
Speaker 1: I started my career almost using entirely jewelry and looks
Speaker 1: from archives. I didn't even actually want to see you
Speaker 1: most of the time. And I think for me to
Speaker 1: see these girls, these women in enjoying that makes me happy. Right.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I love new but I also
Speaker 1: love pulling from fashion history as well.
Speaker 2: Yes, it kindles like the perfect girl.
Speaker 1: That she is, and I and I love her, and
Speaker 1: I and I think she just looks cool, you know.
Speaker 2: It looks like something like because she's Kendall Jenner and
Speaker 2: she's a supermodel and she's six weet tall. But it
Speaker 2: does like I feel like you would be like, oh,
Speaker 2: I want to wear that polloween. Yeah, like you would
Speaker 2: be like that Prtitia Adams vibe.
Speaker 1: That's my Stevie Nicks vibe.
Speaker 2: I feel like, right, ye knew it.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about Hailey Steinfeld. She's listen. She's definitely
Speaker 1: come into her moment, right, Like. I feel like, I
Speaker 1: feel like Hailey Steinfeld went from being this like I
Speaker 1: want to stay cute, I want to say this like
Speaker 1: more sweet sort of young starlet to being this like
Speaker 1: fashion girl who kind of really has these amazingly gorgeous moments,
Speaker 1: you know, and with grit and with edge and with
Speaker 1: cool and takes chances. Robin Maryell style her. I love
Speaker 1: this look Tomorrow Tomorrow. Ralph is absolutely one of my
Speaker 1: hands down more recently favorite clature designers. Yea truthfully like
Speaker 1: moment after a moment, and the collection was extraordinary. So
Speaker 1: I was so happy to see this. I wish I
Speaker 1: saw more of it at the Oscars.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I know I thought I really thought
Speaker 2: there would be more, did I? So I'm glad Haley
Speaker 2: busted a look out because she looks gorgeous. I mean,
Speaker 2: she looks like an Oscar winning sh attress.
Speaker 1: Like she does.
Speaker 2: I feel like she walked the Vanity Fair carpet like
Speaker 2: I'm here totally forget about me.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about someone I had the pleasure of
Speaker 1: working with for many, many, many many years and who
Speaker 1: is back bigger than ever, Miss Lindsay Lohan in Balenciaga. Now,
Speaker 1: I mean the thing I would say about Lindsay like
Speaker 1: we had so many years of having fun playing dress up.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's like all we did, And I'm so
Speaker 1: happy to see her back with just looking happy and
Speaker 1: radiant and healthy and beautiful. And I think again, even then,
Speaker 1: sometimes the less you do, the less Lindsay does the
Speaker 1: less hair, the less dress, the less makeup, and obviously
Speaker 1: she's wearing a lot of makeup, but it's done perfectly.
Speaker 1: It's done perfectly. Her hair and makeup are perfection, her
Speaker 1: dress is perfection. The necklace. As I said earlier without
Speaker 1: even remembering that she was wearing Emeralds. I love an
Speaker 1: emerald moment on a white gown the same way I
Speaker 1: love it on a black gown. I love that pop
Speaker 1: of green. It just works. And especially I will always, always,
Speaker 1: always love and appreciate Emeralds with red hair, like Julianne Moore.
Speaker 1: When Julianne Moore words emeralds, I'm so happy it's sunying.
Speaker 1: Or a green dress, like an emerald green dress.
Speaker 2: There's really nothing better. I mean, Lindsay Lohan is so back,
Speaker 2: like she's so bad. She is so back. I saw
Speaker 2: her do a quick interview and she was talking about
Speaker 2: freaking or Friday coming out, So I just feel like
Speaker 2: she's really owning it. She just looks happy and she
Speaker 2: looks glowing, and.
Speaker 1: She's so talented and she's a mom now and I
Speaker 1: just think she's just living her best and I think
Speaker 1: we're all here for it.
Speaker 2: Everyone's out here trying to get the Lindsay Lohan glow up.
Speaker 2: So she is like that me too. She looks stunning.
Speaker 2: She's going to be nominated for an Oscar here soon.
Speaker 2: I just mark my words.
Speaker 1: Yep. Okay, guys, So well, we can't end without talking
Speaker 1: about Oh. I always forgot about the guys I know.
Speaker 1: And it's not guy's borow.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to jump too far into it because
Speaker 2: there were some men that looked great, there were some
Speaker 2: men that looked right, not great, but because we're because
Speaker 2: the whole world is not just you, and but the
Speaker 2: world is in love with Timothy Shalomy, so we are.
Speaker 2: I figure we have to touch on his.
Speaker 1: Butter. I love Timothy shall me Okay, So I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say it here. You know, he wore a yellow
Speaker 1: Jon to the Oscars and then a gorgeous Hyderacramen for
Speaker 1: tom Ford for Vanity Fair. You know what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: I wish you wore the tom Ford for the Oscars.
Speaker 1: But he is having this moment with Kylie Jenner and
Speaker 1: they are running around in cature and chromhearts and fashion
Speaker 1: and colors and having fun. And I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: I support it, but I think when you're nominated for
Speaker 1: an Oscar, I'd love to see you in a black
Speaker 1: and white tom Ford look. Yes, I just would. Yeah again,
Speaker 1: that's where I just retreat and go old Hollywood. I
Speaker 1: love the way the pants are cut on the tom Ford.
Speaker 1: I love a man in a wide leg this same way.
Speaker 1: I loved Austin Butler last year, like I do. I
Speaker 1: just I love it, and yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 2: I wasted ten would have flopped a tack because the
Speaker 2: black I think if you look at it in a
Speaker 2: photograph the hater Ackerman for tom Ford look study Ward
Speaker 2: of Vanity Fair, it's actually cooler than it looks like,
Speaker 2: almost a polka dot detail like. It's not boring. He
Speaker 2: doesn't ever want to be boring.
Speaker 1: So I get it. But it's like a lounge tuxedo.
Speaker 1: It is. It's gorgeous.
Speaker 2: It's so cool, and you know, he's again one of
Speaker 2: the great actors of our time. It doesn't matter. He
Speaker 2: could wear a washcloth. We're fine he could, and he's
Speaker 2: gonna win his Oscar soon.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure of that. Yes, he wants to
Speaker 1: be one of the greats. That's exactly right, go Timothy,
Speaker 1: go Timothy, We love you. Okay, So.

Speaker 1: Festival and met Ball. More on that later in May.
Speaker 1: So anything exciting, we will we We're here for it.
Speaker 1: I can forget this.
Speaker 2: We had one of our followers ask a question on
Speaker 2: Instagram that I think you can answer really quickly.
Speaker 1: The question was, which is a great question?
Speaker 2: Where do these stars change between the oscars and the
Speaker 2: Vanity Fair red carpet?
Speaker 1: All different, some depending on where they're staying at, like
Speaker 1: hotels nearby, and they all stay within like you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, Vanity Fair is over at the Annenberg Center
Speaker 1: right in Beverly Hills, and most of them are staying
Speaker 1: at one of the five hotels in that area. So
Speaker 1: they'll like run home and change, right because they do
Speaker 1: different glam and they so most of them will just
Speaker 1: run back to their hotel rooms. Right, So their team
Speaker 1: of makeup, hair stilt, everyone's waiting social media people are
Speaker 1: waiting in a hotel room, they change them, they get
Speaker 1: back out. Yep, makes sense. Yes, all happens just like
Speaker 1: that in real time for real. Thanks everybody, Happy Awards season.
