00:00Um, hello. Okay.

00:02I'm gonna break the trailer, and then we're gonna go play the show.

00:06Bye! Goodbye!

00:14We're at Vogue World Hollywood today, which is huge, and we're gonna hang if you want.

00:19Join me.

00:21We're at the Paramount lot. It's definitely hectic, but in a pretty epic way,

00:25because there's so many people walking the show.

00:27We just finished Soundcheck, kind of full rehearsal.

00:30It was the first time I got to see all the models and friends walking down,

00:34so that was incredible. But now we're gonna glam.

00:37Let's do it.

00:46We're in glam now. I'm here with Emily, my hero, and Takuya.

00:50Hello.

00:51The concept Summer of Love inspired everything about the look today,

00:56from glam to what we're wearing.

01:00It's nice to work within, like, the confines of an era,

01:04which we don't necessarily always do.

01:06So to send references back and forth was sweet.

01:09We were sending lots of Sharon Tate kind of eye references,

01:13and Twiggy, how her freckles sit, was exciting to us this morning.

01:18And then on the hair front, light texture.

01:21Having less hair than I did an hour ago, even, is thrilling.

01:26So no place to debut a cut like Vogue World Hollywood.

01:32Summer of Love, 70s.

01:37My favorite album is Tapestry by Carole King.

01:42Well, and I'm also repping my other favorite album, so it's a little bit...

01:44I feel like I'm cheating, but that's why I'm representing both at once.

01:47It's the goal.

01:48Tapestry came out 1971.

01:50And when we were thinking about songs to fit into this section,

01:56that was one that I felt very passionate about, that album as a whole.

02:00And Anna and team selected I Feel the Earth Move.

02:05And then it goes into That's So True, which is an unlikely marriage.

02:08But it's really exciting to be singing these songs here,

02:13and especially feeling how alive the era feels while, you know, our section is going on.

02:23It's pretty amazing, everyone in their, like, joy and their gorgeous looks.

02:29And there's lots of, like, prancing around and hand-holding.

02:33And so it feels really nice in this moment where I think there's lots of darkness to kind of be like,

02:38oh, okay, there's, like, light and joy and love.

02:45There's so many people working on this show.

02:48You feel the energy.

02:50I like that it feels raw, but also being, like, at Paramount Studios,

02:53it's, like, there are aspects of it that are polished, but then in the middle of the song,

02:57someone's, like, pushing a cart of costume down or, like, you know, holding the boom.

03:03It's sick.

03:04The way that they're integrating, I think, like, film in general,

03:07it seems like they've got lots of crew members involved in the runway,

03:11which is exciting to me.

03:12I think personally working a different kind of show on a pretty daily basis,

03:17I just very much appreciate that they're bringing a lot of people

03:20who aren't necessarily always seen kind of to the forefront.

03:25Luckily, my band is with us today, which just for me is, like,

03:29these are my favorite people in the world and also comfort blanket to the max.

03:34We're all starting in the back of a truck that reveals us,

03:38and I am loving the drama of that.

03:42It's, like, subtle drama, but feels right,

03:44and, you know, to be able to look behind me and see Alan, Casey, and Gabe

03:50being their summer of lovely selves.

03:54It's really nice.

03:55Ew.

03:56Cut that.

03:57We're gonna finish glam really quick, and then I'll see you in five seconds.

04:06Vogue World officially starts in an hour, and I am five seconds after start time,

04:11so it's down to the wire now.

04:13We are wearing a look from Mathieu's Chanel collection.

04:18It's one of my favorite ones that came down the runway.

04:21It's red and floral and couldn't be more comfortable, so I'm very lucky there.

04:27And then the shoes are pretty epic.

04:30I am so stoked that Chanel is making these shoes,

04:34because I'm gonna try to, I, like, after we did the rehearsal,

04:37I did put them in my bag just to pretend to go home with them.

04:41We have the earrings.

04:43They're heavy, so if, you know, you see me walking and I get weighed down,

04:48it's just because the Chanel is too good.

04:50It's really remarkable tonight to be here for a million reasons,

04:56but I think it's unbelievable work that the proceeds from the show tonight

05:01are going to benefit people who work in the film industry,

05:05specifically those who were impacted by the wildfires.

05:09It's very close to my heart because I grew up in the Palisades,

05:12and so many friends of mine have been deeply affected,

05:15and friends of mine in Altadena as well,

05:16so this feels really special to be gathered at all,

05:19in a time like this,

05:21to be reminded of the importance of community in that way,

05:23but for this reason in particular,

05:26couldn't be prouder to be here supporting the cause.

05:33I'm gonna go change into my look.

05:35Oh, you're panning up. Hello.

05:37Because it's time.

05:39Now I'm scared.

05:40Standing up put fear in me.

05:43Hello. Okay.

05:45I'm gonna break the trailer,

05:46and then we're gonna go play the show.

05:48Bye.

05:50Goodbye.

05:51Hi. We're dressed.

05:52Can you believe it?

05:53It's time.

05:54We're going to stage.

05:55Stage.

05:56Runway.

05:57Right now.

05:58Um, thank you so much for hanging with me.

05:59This is incredible to me.

06:00I, I, yeah, couldn't love this more.

06:04Really, I feel very in my skin, despite kind of molding to the era.

06:08Time to go.

06:09I'm hearing from Mackenzie.

06:10Love you.

06:11Bye, Vogue.

06:12Bye.

06:13Bye.

06:15Bye.

06:16Bye.

06:17Bye.

06:18Bye, Vogue.

06:19Bye.

06:20Bye.

06:21Bye.

06:22Bye.

06:23Go, I'm hearing from Mackenzie.
