00:00You're looking amazing as always.

00:01Who makes this?

00:02This is Atelier Versace custom.

00:05Isn't that beautiful?

00:06Yeah, Donatella was just sewing it last night on her own.

00:09No, she wasn't, but her team was, but that was pretty awesome.

00:12The vision this award season has been so magnificent.

00:14I mean, there's a lot of custom looks in there, but

00:16tell me how much fun you're having with the various looks.

00:19And are you paying attention to the fashion commentary on TickCock and

00:22all the people who love you?

00:23You know, people tell me exactly what's going on on commentary,

00:27which is beautiful.

00:28I've always had a great time telling a story with clothing.

00:31And now I get to collaborate with these incredible designers and

00:34my stylist, Wayman and Micah.

00:35They're very much really helping me craft that story in every,

00:38every single room that I go into.

00:39And I feel like that's important.

00:41I feel like it's important is whatever I say is the way I look.

00:44Last question, Rustin, Nat King Cole, Joe Jackson.

00:48It's a different challenge playing real life people, but

00:51a new thing that you have obviously nailed.

00:53Why are you so gravitated towards these historical stories?

00:58You know, I've always wanted to do, really, the funny thing is,

01:01just in this succession, I've been playing real life characters.

01:04And that's rare for me.

01:05I've always played fictionalized characters where I built them from the ground up.

01:08So this is a, it's a new challenge for me.

01:10So I feel like I'm doing newer things in my career.

01:12And of course, I will do more fictional characters as well.

01:14But it presents a great challenge to really try to find their humanity and

01:19make sure that you're really crafting such a three dimensional character and

01:23not someone that's just the court of public opinion has an idea about.

01:28So for me, it's about deconstructing this person and

01:30making them human and showing all parts of them.

01:33Yeah, of course they do.

01:35Everyone has ideas about Joe Jackson or by Rustin or whoever.

01:39But I feel like it's my job to find what I love about them and

01:42what makes them tick and what makes them human.
