Transcript
00:00All right, I love you, Scott.
00:01See you in a minute.
00:02Oh, wow.
00:03Oh, Lord.
00:06What are your thoughts right now?
00:08No, I just remembered we had to go.
00:10I was like, I forgot that we were getting ready for our premiere.
00:20Hey, who I wear.
00:21I'm Bailey Madison.
00:23Come get ready with me for the premiere of my new show, Pretty Little Liars Original Sin.
00:27Let's go.
00:28Oh.
00:30He says hello.
00:38Today is obviously a really big day.
00:40It's the premiere for my new show.
00:42So the vibe, the vibe check has to be stellar.
00:45I love the getting ready process for a day like today.
00:48I always have.
00:48It's usually full of a lot of excitement and nerves, but I especially enjoy it because Katrina,
00:56Scott has known me since I was 14.
00:58They've been getting me ready, but most importantly, are like family to me.
01:02Tonight, because who what wear is here, you guys are hanging with me.
01:06I pulled out the bubbly.
01:07So we have champagne, but I shall sip on it.
01:10Because it's still a work night.
01:13Katrina and I love a skincare moment.
01:16It's very important to us.
01:18Eye patches, Depuff, moisturizer, little jade roller.
01:24Really, if you've been told that it's good for your skin, we do it.
01:29Perfume is very specific for me.
01:30I always like to be mindful of a perfume because, you know, people have allergies to perfumes.
01:37And tonight we're surrounded by a lot of people.
01:38So I'm reaching for something a bit more subtle.
01:42One of my cast members, when we wrapped the first season of Prue La Liar's Original Sin,
01:46actually gifted me a tiny little bottle when it's jasmine scented.
01:51And I think it's really fresh and airy.
01:53And I feel like it sits well on the skin without overpower.
01:58The bottle of perfume actually has pretty well liars, like engraved in it, which is really cool.
02:06I feel like minimal makeup makes me personally feel the most confident.
02:10I think I wear so much makeup on set all the time.
02:13And I play all these different roles, which is a blast.
02:16But for me personally, I like it when I feel like it's just my skin and it's clean skin and
02:21glowy and like a wing liner.
02:23You know, we love a wing liner.
02:25It just opens up the eyes.
02:28I did my first film when I was three.
02:31And my mom refused to get a place out here.
02:33So we lived at the Sheridan Universal.
02:35And I was like the Eloise of the Sheridan.
02:37So I used to check people in and go behind the bar.
02:40And I had a drink called the Bailey Surprise, which was just Sprite and cherry syrup and like Pepsi and
02:48limes.
02:48And people bought it.
02:49But I'd get like back into my hotel room after being away filming.
02:53And I'd have welcome home balloons.
02:55And it was really sweet.
02:57So, yeah, it was just, I've always kind of, it's just been my life mostly out of a suitcase, I
03:03would say.
03:10I pretty much started walking carpets when I was about six years old.
03:15So I've had a lot of fashion mishaps and fails, but a whole lot of joys as well.
03:22It's a really interesting thing being a young woman and trying to figure out your style in life.
03:29Typically, you know, you go from being a kid to then being a tween.
03:33And then you're now a teenager and a young adult.
03:36And I feel like your style is constantly changing, evolving.
03:40And who you are as a person is changing, which affects your style.
03:44That's like added pressure when you have a lot of people looking at what you do and what you're wearing.
03:50And so I would say right now in my life, I feel the most at peace when it comes to
03:56my style.
03:57I just love the people around me and as much as it's hard to not think about outside opinions,
04:03I try to just wear what makes me feel the most me and best and then block out all the
04:10other noise.
04:11And, you know, if people like it, amazing.
04:13If they don't, that's fine.
04:15I did.
04:15So I would say my relationship with style as well has gotten a lot better.
04:22You want to see a great photo of me when I was a kid?
04:23I'll show you the photo that put me on the worst dress list for the first time.
04:28How old were you when that?
04:30I was like, they literally put me on the worst dress list when I was, it must have been 10.
04:35And I was on a flight and my mom was next to me and I was looking through my magazine.
04:42And I loved looking through magazines and I see myself and I like gasped.
04:46I got so excited.
04:47I was like, mom, I'm in, mom, I'm on the worst dress list.
04:52And to be fair, here's the thing.
04:55To be fair, they had every right, like looking back at this outfit, but also I was 10.
04:59So it was an Easter themed movie and I said yes to the Easter theme and I fully committed.
05:07Does this deserve a worse dress?
05:14Katrina usually puts together like a little touch-up kit and a little baggie for me that
05:18has, you know, lipstick and a flea spotter and, you know, powder if I need it.
05:24But these two are actually coming with me tonight.
05:27So I've got my touch-up kits and support physically here, folks.
05:40I am an OG PLL fan.
05:42I'm obsessed with the original and grew up watching it.
05:45And so all of this is incredibly humbling and surreal.
05:49But I would say a character that I most related to, I was always between like Spencer and Aria.
05:57So those were the two characters that I always, I think, saw myself in.
06:00And then now as I've gotten older, it's like Hannah's humor, I think, is more me than I realized at
06:06times.
06:07But I hadn't unlocked that yet when I was watching the show.
06:09When I was filming the show, literally months and months and months and months ago,
06:15I got a text from Scott and he was like, look at what I just ordered for you.
06:19He got these little barrettes made.
06:21But the one that we're going to do today is actually a barrette that's shaped like a knife.
06:25And then it has A written on it like it's blood with some like blood splatter.
06:30So we're going to do a little hair accessory moment tonight and a little nod to the show.
06:34This can actually be something that I physically can wear and then also keep as a memory.
06:40I'd say I'd give it to my kid, but it's kind of weird to put my kid in with like
06:43to school one day.
06:45Like, honey, let me put a fret in your hair.
06:46And the teacher's like, what the heck?
07:09You want to see all these clothes?
07:12Oh, it's beautiful.
07:13I don't think you don't have to do a first change for a second.
07:15Yeah, I'm just probably, I'll just put everything in there.
07:19Aren't these cool?
07:20So our set photographer shot mostly on film.
07:23So like that photo is from the first episode and then that's from the third.
07:27But then she gifted them to us.
07:29It's like a wrap gift.
07:31That to me is like classic image.
07:33I was like, those are cool.
07:35It's the wrap gift.
07:36It is, right?
07:37It was thoughtful.
07:38I love when people do pictures.
07:40Should we just get into it?
07:41Yeah, let's try it.
07:42Okay.
07:43Okay.
07:43Yeah, is there anything I need to do right now?
07:44I mean, yeah, those are insane.
07:45Like, usually people are like, I don't want to do that.
07:47No, like that excites me.
07:49Wow, okay.
07:50Yeah, I'm like psychotic like that.
07:52Let's go rogue.
07:52Let's try.
07:54Then I feel like I'm like, come at me, people.
07:57Okay.
07:57All right, we're going to change.
07:59So that means we have to say goodbye for a second.
08:02Even though I love you guys, it's nothing personal.
08:04It's just, you know, we're going to keep a G up in here.
08:07That's cool.
08:23All right.
08:24So cool.
08:29It's like our wedding photo.
08:30No, literally.
08:35All right, you guys, I've got to get in the car and head to the premiere, but thank you
08:38so much Who What Wear and to all of you watching for getting ready with me.
08:43I hope that you love my new show, Pretty Little Liars Original Sin, which airs on HBO
08:47Max on July 28th.
08:49Love you guys.
08:50We'll see you next time.
