00:00Leslie Bibb stopped me and she's like,

00:01this dress is incredible.

00:03And I was like, I love you.

00:05You're incredible.

00:06Hi Harper's Bazaar, I'm Aiza Gonzalez.

00:08And today we're looking back at some of my favorite looks.

00:11This is Fashion Flashback.

00:14I love this look.

00:16This was the 2018 Oscars and I'm wearing Ralph Lauren.

00:19It felt like confident and sexy

00:22without being too in your face.

00:24And I was so nervous.

00:26We were nominated for Baby Driver,

00:28the first film I ever did.

00:30My vision for this day had been really truly inspired

00:34by Jennifer Lawrence's red dress at the Oscars.

00:37I always felt like there was something so strong

00:40about just choosing a bold color, a simple dress.

00:44I ended up choosing bright canary yellow.

00:47I don't know if you knew this, but I love to share this.

00:49So there's a whole tear of different stages

00:52of if you're a nominee, if you're in a nominated movie,

00:55you get different dresses.

00:57And I didn't know this.

00:58You sort of get like higher level dresses

01:00versus if you're not nominated

01:02or you're just walking the red carpet.

01:03And so it was the first time

01:04that I was part of a nomination

01:06and I got so many dresses.

01:08It was like a Disney for adults.

01:10And then immediately when I wore this dress,

01:12I just knew I tried on thousands of dresses

01:14and this was it.

01:15It was pretty spectacular.

01:17This next look, this is a Met Gala 2021

01:20and I'm in Versace.

01:22Ooh, I love this look.

01:25It was very sort of last minute

01:27and Donatella invited me to the Met Gala.

01:30They said, we have this beautiful red dress.

01:31We want to try it on you.

01:32The moment I zipped it on, it took my breath away.

01:36It had like a built in beautiful glove.

01:39The craftsmanship of this dress is pretty spectacular.

01:41The detailing, if you can see like in the stitching,

01:44there's beading, but it's meticulously chosen, woven into.

01:49I just wanted to honor Maria Felix

01:51as one of our like icons in Mexico.

01:53She's like a golden age diva.

01:56And I had just gotten attached to develop

02:00and create this movie about her life in the biopic.

02:02And so I wanted to do an odd to old Hollywood,

02:05old golden era cinema in Mexico.

02:08And so I went for this sort of very Maria Felix makeup

02:11and to compliment the look and it was pretty spectacular.

02:16Ooh, this is the London premiere for Ambulance

02:20and I'm in Burberry.

02:21I love that color.

02:22That's one of my favorite colors.

02:23As you can see, blue is my color.

02:25And I got really fixated on the fact

02:28that I wanted bleach blonde hair for this look.

02:30Jessica Alba in The Fantastic Four

02:33kind of came up to my mind

02:35because she wore a lot of blue.

02:37And so I was like very inspired by that.

02:39And so I went through 10 hours of bleaching

02:44the night before.

02:44I had just landed.

02:46I think we were in Berlin for the premiere.

02:48I went straight at like 10 p.m. to the hair salon.

02:52I didn't sleep all night.

02:54I finished at like six in the morning,

02:55bleached my entire hair.

02:57And as I go to the premiere,

03:00I decided to spray like perfume on me

03:03and I sprayed it on my hair.

03:05And as I went from the hotel to the premiere,

03:08my hair oxidized because it was so porous

03:11and it was open that it went orange.

03:13It went orange on the red carpet

03:17and I had a panic attack.

03:20But it was all forgotten because the dress.

03:23Also, Michael Bay didn't recognize me.

03:24Took him 10 minutes.

03:26And he was like in the elevator with me.

03:28And I was like, Michael?

03:30He's like, oh, damn it, it's you, Asa.

03:32I was like, I've been standing here

03:34for five minutes straight.

03:36Anyway, yeah, men.

03:38God, this is good.

03:40This is the premiere for Three Body Problem in London

03:43and I'm in Chanel.

03:44This is my personal favorite look ever, I think.

03:48I'm a huge Chanel fan.

03:50I love what they do.

03:51I think they're so chic.

03:53It's just the epitome of cool girl.

03:55It was this oversized, flowy, beautiful,

03:59very Karl Lagerfeld Chanel dress.

04:01I just saw it and it was this flowy dress.

04:04I remember taking all these photos of me

04:06dancing around with the dress.

04:07And I cut all my hair off for the Fountain of Youth

04:11and it was my first reveal of this new look.

04:14And so it was pretty special

04:16and I've worked on this show for so long

04:18so I wanted something that felt spacey

04:20but also kind of sci-fi-y.

04:23I really love taking on, when I'm in a film,

04:26like method dressing.

04:27I think it's really, really fun.

04:29This felt very sci-fi, futuristic,

04:32while being Chanel, baby.

04:35This next look, this is Jason Wu

04:38and I'm at the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

04:41premiere here in New York City.

04:42I was in London doing half of the press for the ministry

04:46and Elizabeth, my stylist again, she was like,

04:49I have it, I know what the dress is.

04:51I always like trying things on

04:52because I just want to get a sense of who I want to be

04:55in these premieres and what I want to become.

04:58And she was like, I think this is a dress,

04:59you've got to trust me on that.

05:00And she sent me this photo of the dress

05:02and was like laying and it was crackly

05:03and I couldn't really envision it.

05:05And she said, it's insane.

05:07You're going to put it on and it's the dress.

05:08She flew it all the way to London.

05:10Here comes the dress running in.

05:12I ran out of an interview to try it on.

05:14And it was just like the moment that it zipped on,

05:16I was like, it took my breath away.

05:20It was just elegant, chic, effortless.

05:25I felt like it was a perfect combination

05:27of like contemporary simultaneously

05:29while being a pinup dress, but it wasn't revealing.

05:32It was sexy in the best way possible.

05:35And we kept it super clean.

05:36And I mean, we found the perfect pump that matched the dress.

05:39So this is a special one.

05:42This next look I love.

05:43This is a 2024 Emmys and I'm wearing Tamara Ralph.

05:46This is a very special one too.

05:47This is my first time being in a nominated anything

05:51at the Emmys.

05:52We were nominated for three body problem

05:54and we had a ton of dresses in this rack.

05:56I just saw this sparkly pink

05:58and I saw like feathers hiding in the back.

06:01And I was like, what is that?

06:02And she's like, it wasn't even like one of our first choices

06:04and she said, it's a Tamara Ralph dress.

06:08You can see that I love a column dress.

06:09I like to accentuate that I'm tall

06:12and I kind of like to use that in my advantage.

06:15And we tried it without the coat first

06:17but then I tried the coat and I was like, this is too much

06:21but maybe too much is right for this.

06:23I was feeling very excited and happy to be in the Emmys

06:25and I felt like the dress reflected that.

06:27This is one of the few premieres

06:28that everybody stopped me for the dress.

06:31Everyone was like, wow, the dress, wow, the dress.

06:34Like Leslie Bibb stopped me and she's like,

06:36this dress is incredible.

06:38And I was like, I love you.

06:40You're incredible.

06:41So yeah, it was pretty spectacular.

06:45This is a 2025 Golden Globes and I am wearing Gucci.

06:49This dress was just the one.

06:52I tried a bunch of dresses.

06:54We were nominated for La Machina

06:56and it was my first time going to the Golden Globes.

06:58Maybe a little on the nose.

06:59If there's anywhere you should wear a gold dress

07:01is to the Golden Globes.

07:02And then I saw these David Yurman earrings.

07:05It looked like algae, like made out of diamonds

07:08and sort of ended in a black sort of subtle way

07:11and it blended perfectly into the waves of the hair.

07:14It was just spectacular.

07:15It was simple, it was chic.

07:17Again, back with a column dress.

07:18By the way, it was a very sunny day in LA.

07:21And so there was no sort of covering of the red carpet

07:25and the sun was hitting me and I was a disco ball.

07:27I was like reflecting into everyone.

07:30And I remember like blinding Guy Pearce.

07:32He was like, whoa.

07:33And I was like, hi.

07:34He's like, oh my God, is that you?

07:36He's like, he couldn't see me.

07:37And it was incredible.

07:38I really felt like a fun little cheeky in it.

07:41This next look.

07:43This is the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party

07:47and I'm wearing Oscar de la Renta.

07:50One thing about the Vanity Fair red carpet

07:52is that it's always set up so far away from photographers

07:55that whatever kind of dress you have,

07:57you can have a long train, a short train.

07:59It is a perfect stage for a dress.

08:02And so the moment that I sort of went like that

08:04and it had the fading of the red,

08:06I knew that I could kind of really play with that

08:08on the red carpet.

08:09And I've always seen those red carpet photos

08:11where like I see the woman tossing the dress

08:12and I was like, I want to do that.

08:14It was complimented with these like art deco

08:17German earrings that were so beautiful

08:19and they like kind of clipped onto my ear

08:20and wrapped into my ear.

08:22And it just felt like subtle and fresh and girly

08:24and sunshine and just the perfect sort of fun,

08:27flirty dress for Vanity Fair.

08:29It was scary to not let people step on my dress.

08:32It was, you're always sort of thinking of the designers

08:34because they put so much work into it

08:36and you don't want anyone.

08:37So I'm running around with my dress.

08:38I'm like hugging it like this.

08:39I wrapped it around like a shawl.

08:41I multi-used my dress.

08:43So that was a fun night.

08:44Thank you so much for watching.

08:46These are some of my favorite looks.

08:48I hope you enjoyed it.

08:49And I want to invite you all to go watch

08:51Ash support independent filmmaking.

08:53Bye.
