00:00Styling on the red carpet this season is very deliberate.

00:03There's obviously a lot of thought and planning

00:06that has gone into it,

00:07and you can see a narrative running through it.

00:10It's very careful.

00:11If you look at the leading ladies this season,

00:14or all of our nominees, you'll see patterns,

00:17you'll see designers that are being repeated,

00:19that keep coming up.

00:20There's certain favorites that are definitely out there.

00:23So Zoe Saldana wore Yves Saint Laurent

00:30to the Emilia Perez premiere in LA.

00:33And of course, Yves Saint Laurent were also producers of the film,

00:37so it's a logical choice for her.

00:39And she's been wearing Saint Laurent to,

00:42I would say 90% of her appearances for Emilia Perez.

00:45And she's so elegant.

00:46Everything she wears is just, she carries it off beautifully.

00:49And this was just a stunning look for her.

00:53Zoe also wore Saint Laurent for the BAFTAs,

00:58and she wore a slim column dress

01:00with this amazing kind of lace plume around the shoulders,

01:05which looked fantastic.

01:10At the Critics' Choice, Zoe wore Saint Laurent.

01:13Again, this was a beautiful kind of scarlet red satin look,

01:16and she topped it off with a Cartier black satin choker

01:20with a little diamond kind of buckle.

01:23For the Golden Globes, Zoe wore Saint Laurent again.

01:27It was a chocolate brown sequin kind of column dress

01:29with this wonderful kind of brown taffeta shawl.

01:33This was my favorite look of the Golden Globes of anybody.

01:37And she just looked amazing.

01:38Again, they all walked in on the red carpet with this rose backdrop,

01:42and she just looked spectacular.

01:44She won the evening for me.

01:45She looked fantastic.

01:46For the Oscars, I guess it's an easy prediction to predict Saint Laurent for this,

01:51because the producers are going to be there.

01:53They've produced Amelia Perez, so I'm predicting that she will wear Saint Laurent.

01:58I'm hoping that she wears some kind of color.

02:00I'd almost be disappointed if she's wearing black.

02:03I think she looks so wonderful in kind of jewel colors,

02:05so I'm hoping she wears some kind of jewel tone.

02:15Demi Moore works with Brad Goresky, and she's had an incredible season.

02:21She's had a very eclectic mix of looks.

02:24For the critics' choice, she wore Schiaparelli couture.

02:27She wore this beautiful navy kind of slashed ribbon gown with this incredible kind of curved

02:33bodice with the little kind of bauble at the front.

02:36It was just spectacular.

02:38She looks wonderful in navy with her jet black hair.

02:41Navy and black is one of my favorite color combinations,

02:44and she just looks so chic.

02:46I think this was my favorite gown of her whole campaign, actually.

02:48Ever since 2023 and Barbie, there's this trend of method dressing,

02:53as they're calling it, on the red carpet, where people take their character into their red carpet

02:59dressing.

02:59And I think, yes, this Schiaparelli dress for Demi was the same thing.

03:03I think the restrictions as well of being so tightly laced in and the stitches on the back,

03:09you know, resembling Demi's character in the substance.

03:16For the Golden Globes, Demi wore Armani Privé, and this was,

03:21it was completely fitting because this was the first award I think she won of the season,

03:25and this was her comeback award.

03:27This was the beginning of like, oh, wow, is Demi going to kill this season?

03:31And she killed in the dress, and she looked fabulous.

03:34She was wearing gold.

03:35She won the Golden Globe.

03:36This was a little bit of a pivotal moment for her.

03:39For Demi, she's a little bit of a wild card.

03:42I'm not sure if I can predict what she's going to wear.

03:44My only instinct would be maybe she would go back to Armani because

03:48it brought her luck on the Golden Globe stage.

03:51So it might be a little bit of a talisman for her, but let's see.

03:58For the Wicked premiere in LA, Cynthia Erivo wore custom Louis Vuitton in patterned green leather.

04:05This was the beginning of the crazy green moment for Cynthia.

04:09It was fantastic.

04:12I love what her and her stylist Jason Bolden have done throughout this whole Wicked tour.

04:18And the nails, the jewelry, everything has just been incredible.

04:24She's such a character.

04:25She's such a fashion lover.

04:27And I think that's what, for people like me in the fashion industry,

04:30I think that's what comes across.

04:32That she appreciates every single tiny detail.

04:40And then in Mexico, she wore this incredible Tom Brown custom look,

04:46which had these almost like sort of claws on the shoulder,

04:50which were, they evoked memories of Margaret Hamilton,

04:55the original actress who played the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 film.

04:59The shadows of the posters of these claws of the witch.

05:10And for the Golden Globe, she wore a custom Louis Vuitton dress,

05:13which was like a sort of black and silver overlay lace look with a peplum.

05:18This was quite divisive.

05:19Some people didn't like it.

05:20I personally loved it.

05:21I thought this was beautiful.

05:23And again, she can carry it off.

05:24Some people, it tends to wear them, but Cynthia, no.

05:27She can carry anything off.

05:29And I thought this was stunning.

05:30I thought it was fantastic.

05:33For the Oscars, I would imagine, because Cynthia is a Louis Vuitton ambassador,

05:38I would imagine she's going to do something spectacular in Louis Vuitton.

05:42And of course, they have to also do the Vanity Fair party.

05:46They have to do the after party.

05:49So I would expect we're going to see two or three amazing Louis Vuitton looks.

05:53So Ariana Grande with her stylist Mimi Cuttrell has just done, she's totally been channeling

06:07her Dorothy character, her, you know, her Glinda character.

06:10It's all of the good people in The Wizard of Oz all kind of rolled into one.

06:15And her outfit at the Wicked premiere in LA by Tom Brown was, it was Dorothy's little gingham dress.

06:21It was Glinda in The Wizard of Oz in her pink float.

06:25It was everything kind of pulled together and it was just goodness itself.

06:30And in Europe, it was really nice to see a little change from the pink and see her wear lemon.

06:41This was a Ralph Lauren design and she had the very cute little glasses as well.

06:46And another Ode to Glinda, but she's very, Ariana is very ethereal and she has that kind of mystical

06:58way about her, which, which just works with all these light fabrics with all these kind of tools

07:04and all the chiffons. And she, she's very light and airy in herself.

07:14And in Palm Springs, a little bit of a departure, Ariana went for something a little bit more structured

07:21in Louis Vuitton, like a silver kind of bubble. But again, it's Glinda's bubble. It's the thing that she

07:26kind of floats away in. For the Oscars, I feel like, I feel like she's going a little bit

07:32sculptural. I feel like she's working, she's looking towards all these kind of shapes and

07:37corsets. So I wouldn't be surprised if she returns to Schiaparelli. We shot her in the most extraordinary

07:43Schiaparelli dress for our cover of Hollywood Reporter. So I'd be excited if she wore something

07:48by Schiaparelli for the Oscars. So I'm crossing fingers. It's been a great season

07:53on the red carpet. The acting nominees this season are some of the most stylish

07:58ladies in the acting business. So it's been a wonderful red carpet season. I expect nothing less at the Oscars.
