00:00I'm having a little matcha latte with almond milk.

00:03I feel like matcha is a bit more of a calm caffeine,

00:07which is good for like a high anxiety show.

00:10I don't need espresso straight to the dome

00:13before a show that's happening at 8 p.m.

00:17You know what I mean?

00:17Like that's a lot.

00:25We are going to the Balenciaga show.

00:28And this is not only my first Balenciaga show,

00:30but this is also Pierpaolo's debut Balenciaga show.

00:34So it's like new world of Balenciaga.

00:36I've never been to Balenciaga.

00:37It's like, it's very exciting.

00:39It's very exciting.

00:40We're in Paris.

00:41It's so beautiful right now too.

00:43It's like starting to become crisp outside.

00:46The autumn leaves are autumn leaving.

00:50The autumn-ness.

00:51It's really beautiful.

00:52I've never recalled any silent moment

00:55at any bar glam sessions.

00:56We talk from the moment we walk in the door.

00:58It's like, Heather, you're lying.

01:00Why are you lying alone?

01:01We talk nonstop.

01:02No, but I feel like sometimes I'll like be on my phone

01:04for one second, like sending an email.

01:06So awkward, so quiet.

01:08Everyone's like, what?

01:09Actually, I'm not sending an email.

01:10Wait, I'm lying.

01:11She's on reels.

01:13No, maybe I'm responding to a text.

01:15Or I'm on reels.

01:16Or I'm on reels.

01:17Anyway, this is Jared, my stylist.

01:19My wonderful, beautiful, amazing stylist.

01:22We have Lily Keys doing my makeup.

01:25Hi.

01:26And we have Sammy Knight doing my hair.

01:28Hi, bonjour.

01:29And this is the squad.

01:32Like seriously.

01:33I feel like fashion week for me is a fun opportunity

01:35to play dress up, experiment, wear things

01:38I wouldn't normally wear.

01:39Tonight's look, I don't know, I feel like it reflects

01:41my personal style the most.

01:43A pair of like black capris.

01:45Although the only thing about them that's not me

01:47is that they're so low-waisted.

01:49I couldn't be more against a low-waisted pant,

01:51but I tried them on and I was like, this is a cool look.

01:54Like it's actually a cool look.

01:55It's just a very simple, classic, timeless silhouette,

01:57but I think the cut, like, you know,

01:59being low-waisted and being really cropped

02:01makes it sort of edgier for the glam.

02:04I think when it came to the makeup,

02:05I was thinking the pants are black.

02:07We got to do a black liner.

02:09And then hair, I love making my hair spiky

02:13for this particular look.

02:14How would you describe it?

02:15It's like an edgier take on like a classic.

02:18It's not even edgy.

02:19It's like, well, it's edgy because you're like naked,

02:22but a spiky hair is not the norm.

02:26And that's a little daring as well.

02:28Also, you just love spiky hair.

02:29Well, it's a daring.

02:30The look is like a daring take

02:32because you see a little bit of my shin.

02:35Ooh.

02:36Then you see ultimately a lot of midriff.

02:39Midriff or midriff?

02:41Midriff.

02:42It's no tea.

02:42No.

02:44Great.

02:45We know, you learn something every day.

02:46I honestly don't know.

02:47So much midriff with the D.

02:50Midriff.

02:50Midriff away.

02:51Me and literally.

02:53It feels kind of daring.

02:55So then I want to do something daring with the hair.

02:56So we're really spiking it up more than usual.

02:59When Pierpaolo was at Valentino, it was spectacular.

03:03Very ethereal, very feminine and soft.

03:06Pierpaolo is incredible at drama and creating a spectacle.

03:10So I feel like we're honestly not quite sure what it will be,

03:15but that is the exciting part.

03:16For this fitting, we went in blind.

03:18There were no images beforehand, which is-

03:20Full blind date vibes.

03:22Mm-hmm.

03:22It doesn't always work out when you go in blind,

03:25but I feel like the pieces that they picked

03:27really spoke to who Emma is, which is lovely.

03:29It was anxiety inducing.

03:31For sure.

03:31I mean, I think Jared and I are both control freaks.

03:34Yeah.

03:35High five.

03:37And so, you know, we like to see beforehand

03:38and start thinking and like, it's not easy

03:41to find an outfit that feels right.

03:42It's almost like, it's very much say yes to the dress.

03:46It's like you put it on and it feels right.

03:48That's the experience.

03:50We tried a handful of looks.

03:52Ultimately, this felt the most kindred.

03:55It definitely feels like an extension of yourself.

03:58Less of a character.

03:59I feel like that's a lovely way to start off,

04:02especially for your first Balenciaga show.

04:04It really is kind of neutral in that sense,

04:07but this is an exciting neutral.

04:09And I will not be covered up tonight.

04:11Like, belly button is out.

04:13Yeah.

04:13Belly button reveal.

04:14Belly button doesn't come out often.

04:15Belly button?

04:16Wait, I was about to say, this might be belly button reveal.

04:18When has anyone seen my belly button?

04:20Can we highlight it?

04:21We should contour my belly button.

04:21Contour the belly button.

04:29I think this is really nice that we've landed here for this week.

04:32This feels like your final form.

04:34I know, I know it really does.

04:36And I think it's nice to have a stretch of time like Fashion Week

04:39where you can kind of show the versatility of a cut like this.

04:42Shorter hair is maybe even more versatile than having longer hair.

04:45You know, you don't have to hide any length.

04:47You can just kind of go for it and have fun.

04:49I mean, the evolution goes up and down.

04:51I would say that Emma's own hair, she has always said,

04:55I want to go shorter, I want to go shorter, I want to go shorter.

04:57So I think to get to this point was an inevitability

05:00that we knew we would get to at some point.

05:02So to have that flexibility of a shortcut is perfect for you.

05:05And Emma does have a perfect head for wigs.

05:08Not everyone has a perfect head for wigs.

05:09Yay!

05:15I feel like we always play a lot, which I love.

05:19And Emma and Jared come with a lot of the amazing,

05:23like art direct, beauty direction ideas.

05:27And then we all collaborate together.

05:29It's like, I can bring anything to you and you're like done.

05:32And then you also, but you make it your own thing though, too.

05:34We like to push it.

05:36Yeah.

05:36We like to have fun.

05:37This shit's supposed to be fun.

05:38I'm not doing a brown smokey eye for every event.

05:44Wait, Jared, let's actually discuss a real thing for a second.

05:48To figure out our hair shape.

05:49I kind of need this part covered.

05:51I feel like or else my forehead looks huge.

05:52Too much forehead.

05:54I mean, this is a very different cut than what I have.

05:56Also, there's more root here.

05:57Listen, reference images are like, okay, so this is what we should do,

06:01except completely different and nothing like it.

06:03But that's, you just have to find something somewhat close.

06:05But like, I like these little pieces.

06:08Beep, beep, beep.

06:09And how like it looks kind of stiff.

06:12This is a little bit softer and not quite it,

06:15but the bleach is more similar.

06:18A lot of like trial and error during the glam, you know?

06:21It's like, we're just kind of playing and molding things until it feels right.

06:27We're friends and we love each other.

06:29So it's like, we always are catching up.

06:31Glam is a catch up time.

06:33We have stories.

06:35It's endless.

06:40Always!

06:42Oh my God, this is my best friend in the world, you guys.

06:44Other than Jared and Lily.

06:46Wait, you just locked yourself out of the room.

06:48I just locked myself out of the room.

06:50Woo!

06:51I'm going naked to Balenciaga, woo!

06:53This is Jared's boyfriend and the love of my life and best friend.

06:56Jared, come in.

06:57Oh yeah, let's do this.

06:57And a steamer.

07:00I love it.

07:01Love it.

07:01Okay, have such a good day.

07:02I'll just be standing here like this.

07:04I'll just be standing like this.

07:05I'll just be pawing on it.

07:06Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry about it.

07:07Oh, this is good.

07:08Yeah, I'll just be standing like this.

07:09Wait, that's perfect.

07:10Bye to Owen.

07:11He'll just be right there.

07:12He's totally fine.

07:13It only, it's just a little bit painful for him, but he's fine.

07:16What a dream.

07:16What a dream to have your friends in Paris and we're going to Balenciaga.

07:20I actually, nothing has ever been, it feels like my birthday.

07:23This moment.

07:24Like getting ready and going to the Balenciaga show.

07:26We're celebrating.

07:27Just chiming in to say that's super sad.

07:29Just chiming in to say that's super sad.

07:31It's actually an act of like courage and vulnerability to invite people to your party.

07:35Think about it.

07:36I know that our team just had a party and nobody showed up to us.

07:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I can't.

07:43See, I can't handle that.

07:45That's so upsetting.

07:46I know.

07:47See, I can't with that.

07:48I always thought you were worried that people were going to trash your house.

07:50That too.

07:51That too.

07:52Everyone in this room can come to my birthday.

07:54I know none of you would knock over any of my lamps, throw up on my couch.

07:59Eh.

08:00Say I'm worried about you.

08:01I thought you wouldn't bring something up about me.

08:03He's going to say something.

08:04No.

08:05No, but now I'm worried about you too.

08:08Over the last year or so, I really feel like I've figured out what I think my personal style is.

08:15And it's definitely like abstract.

08:16I think it's such an individual thing.

08:18The colors that look best on me, I would say black and white looks wonderful.

08:22Grayish blues look really nice.

08:24This is in my opinion, okay?

08:25I mean, I really like classic silhouettes and classic pieces.

08:29And I like layering them in interesting ways.

08:32And prior to having a wardrobe like that, I was constantly like buying sort of more intense items.

08:38And then getting sick of them.

08:40And then ultimately donating them.

08:41And it just felt like I was constantly cycling through trendy stuff.

08:44And I don't like that vibe anymore.

08:48But then that's why I love Fashion Week and red carpets and things like that.

08:51We get to borrow clothes.

08:52We get to experiment.

08:53That's such a wonderful way to play dress up.

08:56And I'm so lucky I get to do that.

08:58Okay.

08:59Time to get dressed.

09:04A spin.

09:05I almost ate shit.

09:06How are you feeling in the look?

09:08I'm feeling very good.

09:10With the midriff.

09:11So tempted to add a T at the end of that.

09:13I love wearing black and white.

09:15I love a little grungy moment in the glam.

09:18I am feeling very good.

09:19And I am ultimately feeling like me.

09:21In just a different way than I normally do.

09:23I am out of here.

09:25Thank you all for hanging out.

09:28I'm not very good at walking in a heel.

09:29So you probably shouldn't look too close.

09:31Let me try.

09:32I think she's got it.

09:34Oh shit.

09:35Maybe I do have it.

09:36What do you think Jared?

09:38Honestly better.

09:39Too fast.

09:42Bye.

09:43Thank you so much for hanging out.

09:44It was so much fun.

09:45And I'll see you at the Balenciaga show.

09:47And bye.

10:09Bye.
