2026 Red Carpet Recap With Zanna Roberts Rassi: The Best Dressed, Behind-the-Scenes Details, and Standout Beauty Moments

0:01Tell me if I'm alone here, Who What Wear listeners, but shopping used to feel more fun. Before all the algorithm-fed blah and the endless-y of dupes. But I have a confession. I found that fun feeling again on eBay. Because on eBay, it's not just shopping. It's a full-on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing, that adrenaline hit is real. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board. The Dior saddlebag you ripped out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Or something like the Cecily Bonson GT2160s that sold out in five seconds. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill of finding pieces that feel like me.

0:47And I want you to find pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. eBay has millions of pre-loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by eBay authenticity guarantee. eBay. Things. People. Love.

1:16Welcome to the Who What Wear podcast. I'm your host, Hilary Kerr, and today I'm sitting down with style correspondent, Zanna Roberts-Rossi. Zanna covers the award season of red carpets for outlets like E!, The Today Show, and Elle, and I'm willing to say that she knows more about red carpets than pretty much anyone. She's joining us today to break down all of the looks that we saw this award season, from the Grammys, to the Actor Awards, to the Oscars, and everything in between. We're talking about some of our favorite moments from the season and the surprising behind-the-scene details Zanna learned from being in person on the carpet.

1:55It's all coming up on Who, What, Where.

2:05Zanna, thank you so much. I am so excited to have you here today to talk about all things red carpet. I am freaking out because I was just watching you last night on E! This is so amazing and fun. And I loved the fact that you kept getting text messages from stylists like in the middle of the show. That was hysterical and wonderful. You bring so much gravitas and insight and reporting to the red carpet. I just loved it so much. So thank you for joining us. Thank you so much. That means so much coming from you because I know you're such a stat and information and fashion nerd like me within the details.

2:47So to hear that from you is like a big seal of approval. Thank you. I just love it. I was like, this is you. You were everything. So I want to talk about some of the looks from last night. What were some of the standout looks for you? So many standout looks for me. Okay, let's think about it. And before I even jump into this, let's just say I was on the e-carpet. then I got on a red eye and then I went straight to the today show and then do something else and I've just been filming something else so excuse me if I'm slurring at all it's not been much sleep 24 hours straight dealing with all things Oscars she's punchy y 'all she's punchy she's forgotten everything but it's great um no so some of my favorites without doubt last night let's start with Renata absolutely what a smoke show literally my pulse raised when I saw this amazing Louis return red dress carla welcher actually told me that morning she was like zanna it's the simplest thing you're ever gonna see it's like it's a fashion girl's dress yeah and when you saw it just wrap around her body this one piece of red fabric i'm inspired i literally came out and put my red sweat on today as you see here because of it um and it wasn't a classic oscars look but for me it was by far one of the best dressed but like what's a classic oscars look a mermaid dress and a big old necklace like we've seen it we've seen it this felt modern and fresh and also like a continuation of what Carla has been doing with her all season with like the minimalism meets quirky sheerness or like some sort of body on display in a really thoughtful way exactly there's nothing ever predictable and there's all those wonderful architectural shapes and all the Louis Vuitton like futurism of it as well and then peel back it's so so good um somebody else speaking of Louis Vuitton are Emma Stone.

4:32Oh my good. That's the dress I want to be buried in, I think. Or if I ever got married again. Not that I'm planning on it, dear husband, would be the one. It shimmered in just the right way. It looks so casual and effortless, but there was literally like, I don't know, 600 hours of work went into that beautiful little cap sleeve. But those are the sorts of details that I love and I appreciate you bringing that to the forefront. There's so much amazing work. There's so much craftsmanship. There's all these people running around grafting so hard behind the scenes. That stuff has to come to the forefront.

5:08And it's something I've always done and always championed. And I'm just so glad that everybody's really interested. You've always done it too. And I think there's such a mad interest in it now. And it's great to be able to share that. And there's more fashion nerds out there like us. Can we talk about one of my favorites as well? Yes, please. I should be asking you this question. Who was it? Tell me. Rose Byrne in Dior. I loved, I mean, speaking of craftsmanship, like the level of embroidery and embellishment on that dress. It fits so beautifully. And then her jewelry, just so taffin that it felt like such a fashion girl choice to go with such an interesting brand.

5:49And that smoky, almost, what do they call it? A desert diamond. the desert diamond is this yellowy I was actually talking about this on today's show as well it was like a yellow brown desert diamond and the way that it was on the gold metal and it was set off to one side asymmetrical it was like you said it was so unusual because you expect some you know like a big diamond choker which is great but this was just so unique and and just it was beautiful and then she had a ring as well did you see the blue ring she had on yes yes it was a ceramic blue ring and I think that cost like I don't know like 1.8 million or something for just the ring it was insane.

6:24I did not see the price tag. That's crazy. Yeah. I mean, there was, I really like how they were switching the diamonds up a little bit. It wasn't as expected as you usually, you know, we usually get. Yes. Although I also like a classic, like I really loved Elle Fanning's vintage Cartier, wisteria inspired thick band around her neck. That was pretty gorgeous as well. And then the other one that I got excited about was Tiana Taylor, who I feel like has had the most fun for this award season. Like she can wear anything. And to see that level of like texture and detail. And she just looked like she was having fun.

7:01She wears the dress. The dress doesn't wear her. That's my take on it. A hundred percent. And last night she, you know, she has had this incredible run and we've seen her do absolutely everything. She has been fashion's overachiever. She was what Coleman Domingo was to us last season. Yes. Oh my gosh, that is correct. And she's just gone at it, won every fashion battle, one fashion battle after another. And last night was the perfect culmination of all of the events. It was kind of tame for Teyana, I suppose, but it was Teyana doing Oscars, the Chanel number, the black and white beading, and then the feathers.

7:37Hilary, did you see how many feathers there were on that carpet last night? No, tell me. Trillion. Oh, I mean in general. Yes. Oh, so many. No, I don't know the numbers on that feather. I'm sure they weren't real feathers though. There's so many man-made feathers. because Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore. Demi Moore, yep. And then I feel like that continued on at the Vanity Fair after party as well. So at that point, I was definitely getting on the red eye and I was trying to still look at looks. I was like, I got to get some sleep in this book. I really got to get like maybe just an hour in here. So I landed, I was trying to look at all the looks.

8:07It's funny because you used to get like the Vanity Fair moment or the after parties used to be much more casual or like a bit more party. And now they're like actually more couture than some of the looks we saw on the actual Oscar Ray carpet. I really love the Vanity Fair party because one, you have more people and you have like a greater diversity of people from different areas of the entertainment industry. Two, I feel like the Oscars has a gravitas. So people tend to think of it in a more classic sensibility, whereas you see a little bit more risks for the Vanity Fair party. And I honestly sometimes like the second looks from the Oscars better at the Vanity Fair party.

8:43Like I really loved. Yeah. I thought Elle Fanning looked beautiful in Givenchy for the red carpet, but I liked the black dress as well that she had for the after party where it's like, it just felt fresh and fun and still really phenomenal. 100 % agree. Yeah. I mean, it's just, there's just too many looks to go through. There isn't a dress or a diamond left in Hollywood. Put it that way. Every showroom is there. At least not until the Met Gala. you always get some backstories on the looks are there any other fun facts from last night or particularly interesting backstory details that you can share i have so many i'm let me think now let's rattle the brain okay one that's going quite fun and viral today i've seen a lot about gwyneth paltrow's flashing was she wearing pants was she not wearing pants i can tell you for a fact she was actually wearing a pant wait you mean actual trousers or do you mean underwear no actual trousers it's a sheer tulle trouser and if you look super closely it has a this crystal embellishment on it and elizabeth saltzman was telling me about it on the phone earlier in the day because i interview all the stylists before we go out i was like amazing and i was expecting a substantial chiffon pant some kind to come out yeah i was oh she must have not done it because from the front it was the strapless white gown and then she turned to the side and there's just the sheer panel they didn't do the pan they didn't do it and then i'm sat there this morning zooming in and then you're seeing all these things about gwyneth paltrow flashing she actually had it on still so there was gonna never be there was never gonna be a whoopsie they had it covered they had it covered they're pros i mean and that was giorgio armani prive right giorgio armani prive yeah that was a that was a fun little nugget what else did we get oh So Hudson, did you see his Balenciaga?

10:31Yes. That was a last minute switcheroo because I was expecting him to wear his Balenciaga with a sheer shirt that he wore to the Vanity Fair Party. That was supposed to be for the Oscars. They changed it last minute. I was there ready to go with my stats on the other ones. He had this long, it was the sheer mock neck shirt and it was a long train. and Anastasia Walker and I were laughing saying oh my god let's please hope no one stands on that because it's not gonna work we don't want to be choking Hudson on the Oscars please but they switched it last minute and he ended up wearing that for the uh for the Vanity Fair party why do you think they changed it because I will say he seemed very hot on the red carpet I mean that literally not just figuratively um I saw him with a fae on at some point in time that was the trend of the night everyone had a fan on the carpet last night it was so hot it was 85 maybe oh I know so So he was in the heavier look for the Oscars.

11:27He wore the heavier look for the Oscars. They wanted to do something maybe more traditional and just, you know. I see why they did it. But we say heavy, but then also his stylist, stylist, as you say, he's been doing yoga in that suit all day. I was like, what? Apparently it was that comfortable. Okay. You know, Balenciaga yoga. All right, Pierpalo. It's black tie, but active wear. Okay, okay. Someone says comfort to me. or you can actually move in it or you can have a jacket that you can hug people in. I'm just done. Sign me up. I am in. The bar is so low. I'm like, Ooh, it has a pocket. Again, Kristen Wiig last night with the Ellie sub.

12:05She had the big ball skirt on. I was like, it's a tank top and a skirt with pockets. It's my dream. And it's heavily couture beaded. Done. That's it. Yeah. We're very, very, the bar is low when it comes to comfort. It's terrible, isn't it? We need to raise that. Okay, so you are also the co-founder of Milk Makeup, so we have to talk about beauty too. This was not as strong of a beauty night, in my opinion. Everyone looked beautiful, but it didn't seem to be. There wasn't as much of a trend moment necessarily that I saw, but what were you seeing? Was there anything that you really loved last night?

12:38Well, there was a couple of very Milk Makeup-esque skin moments. We're all about less is more, less but better, your skin but better, and that glassy skin we saw quite a lot of. And the stone. She just looked like she had the whole Hydra Grip family on, basically. She had that beautiful glassy skin with that blurry lip. Nina Park lip. Everyone is obsessed with the Nina Park lip. How good is Nina Park, by the way? Her brows look good. They look great. I also liked this moment of fun little accents on the eye that tied back to the dresses. We saw it on Wunmi. You see, it had a little bit of jade or green in the interior of the eye here, in the eye.

13:18and then also Chase she had a wash of lilac over her eyelid to match her dress I didn't realize that really really pretty and also so age appropriate because she's so young and fresh faced so young fresh face beautiful pop of a lip you did mention that I loved Rose Byrne's lip no eye just a popping bright lip and then also Renata had that lip color that matched perfectly her dress it was also a Louis Vuitton color I went down the rabbit hole I was like what color what was she wearing? Because we all need that. It was Vuitamine by Louis Vuitton. Okay. You can buy it for probably$200 lipstick. Sure, I'll race right out.

13:57And then you have Zoe Saldana, who she was another kind of milk makeup girl with just that glassy skin, no makeup. Everyone paired it right, right back. Yeah, you're right. It was a lot of skin, a lot of gorgeous skin. And you know, that probably was the plan because it was so hot and makeup artists and hairstylists have to think about the weather conditions that they are working with and probably like everything's gonna slide off so like let's just make it really simple and clean yeah or just use hydrogrip there you go there's my there's my point there you go there you go she's sat here with it right now this is the concealer which i've had to layer on today trust me after that red eye i mean you're in the home stretch though okay so aside from the oscars i'd love to talk about sort of the macro look at award season for the folks who are a little bit less tapped into the red carpet world than you are, which means nearly everyone.

14:44Can you explain a little bit about the differences between the carpets? Like what makes it look perfect for the Grammys? How are the Oscars different from the Golden Globes? And what's going on with the rebrand of the SAG Awards is now the Actor Awards. How do you think people strategize in different ways for these different carpets? It's such a good question. I think we have to put it into layman's terms, right? So all of our social calendars, the Grammys would be more of, say your best friend's birthday. So it's a moment where you can have some fun, dip into some trends, do something you usually wouldn't, just have a really good time with fashion.

15:20Not so serious. Not so serious, playful. Then you have the Oscars, which is more like, this is your wedding day. It's the height of formality. It's the one timeless look that you want to look back in 50 years and be like nailed it still I could do it today the same dress I could wear it today you don't want to have the crazy makeup you're like oh my god is that even me and then you have the globes which I would say is akin to the rehearsal dinner for your wedding so it's the precursor it's formal but not formal enough maybe a little bit boozy another bit more fun when it comes to fashion you can kind of test out some trends that you're thinking about for the Oscars that's what happens at the Globes.

16:00And then the SAGs, now the Actor Awards, as you said, it's been rebranded and I'm still calling it the SAGs. Same. Do you think the fashion was different now that it's been rebranded or do you think it was sort of a business as usual? It was fun. I was on that carpet. I was doing the interviews there for Elle who were actually partnering with it and they, you know, they had the whole dress code and it was really good fashion. I didn't know that there was a dress code until after the fact. Can we talk about the dress code? The dress code was Hollywood reimagined from the 20s and 30s. So I spoke to Nino about it as well, Garcia and RuPaul.

16:37It's actually happening anyway. And it's like, guys, that's what a lot of people were dipping into. We're seeing it across the board. And it really, it translated. And I think if people didn't know there was a dress code or not, they were still actually checking the right box. You know, you saw somebody like Chase Infinity in that beautiful Louis Vuitton dress with that amazing, you know she had the beaded cap on her head it was so gorgeous and then I mean there's just so many great looks from there I find it interesting how the carpet has now become like so much part of the performance the golden globes we had the steps it turned into a mini met gala yeah you know actor award has a theme the carpet is the moment right we don't we care about the show absolutely but equally if not more so sometimes for some of us that's the moment and also when it goes a little awry like the baby pair party you really notice you really notice but no way i think just awards generally you know i think there's so many more eyeballs on it there's so many more people there's so many more brands involved and it's a great moment to yes market but it's also you know this incredible marketing moment for your movie for your fashion for whatever you're doing it's just such a wonderful platform and people are fascinated with it so i'm here for it this episode is brought to you by ebay i hope you're enjoying our coverage of all things award season fashion.

17:55Hollywood red carpet season is one of my favorite times of the year. What fascinates me most though is what happens after the spotlight fades. If you've ever wondered where incredible fashion pieces go after major award shows or once a stylist wreck gets a little too full, there's a good chance they'll find a second life online on eBay. A friend of mine who styles some of Gen Z Hollywood's rising stars was recently telling me how overwhelming it can be to manage her wardrobe archive. Once everything's cataloged and organized, the next question becomes, where do all these incredible pieces go next?

18:28That's when I suggested she turn to eBay. With millions of active buyers browsing at any given time, eBay offers unmatched scale, meaning when you list something, you're putting it in front of a massive global audience that's already searching for their next great find. As a fashion editor, my closet is in a constant in state of experimentation and, of course, turnover, just like my stylist friend. I've always felt that cleaning out your closet shouldn't feel like a chore. That's where selling on eBay comes in. Not only is the ease and access of selling on eBay top tier, you can sell all of your favorite pre-loved vintage shoes, handbags, and more in what feels like the click of a button.

19:05There's so many other fashion enthusiasts waiting to pick up your pieces. Case in point, just last week as I was doing some spring cleaning, I listed a few of my favorite items so they could find new homes and I could make a bit of extra cash on the side. My favorite beloved pair of designer ballet flats sold in what felt like minutes and within an hour or two I was packaging them up to ship them off across the country. That kind of momentum is exactly why eBay is the first place I turn to when I'm ready to sell and of course when I'm hunting for something special myself. If you're in the out with the old, in with the new mindset this spring, let this be your sign.

19:43List those pieces on eBay. Tap into millions of buyers worldwide and make space in your closet faster than you think. And when you're done selling on eBay, you can pick up some new to you vintage gems while you're there too. It's a win-win. So as you look back on this award season, what are some of the biggest trends that you notice, whether it's silhouettes or colors or accessories or anything really? Kind of been thrown off a little bit by last night now i'm sorry i had a few and then they went a little bit awry last night i'd say overall silhouettes sculptural there's a lot more sculptural we're seeing a lot more architectural you know red carpets have been leaning into these more powerful shapes and these dramatic silhouettes rather than the safe gowns you mentioned before you know less of the mermaid more of these cool shapes you know louis vuitton have led the charge with that these futuristic shapes you see chase you see Tiana Taylor every outing there's you have a triangle a dome a peplum it's been incredible um texture wise based on last night as well feathers I know so much texture it feels like all of the craftsmanship that we have been seeing at Dior and Chanel and it's like really starting to come out in such a beautiful and thoughtful way it's coming out in a way that feels very handmade in the best possible way right i think and it's this backlash against the ai of it all and it's it's the that's the beauty of the craftsman yeah a hundred percent and you saw that in so many of the finishes on the dresses they were done then undone michelle williams is prada at the actor awards you know kate young said that it was supposed to look a little unfinished it was like almost the dress was still in process being created and you really see that and there's such a beauty to it because no machine can ever do that you see the handwork yeah color wise oh gosh let's see the greens who knew that green was going to be good I don't think any of us predicted that you know we had this the clover green on roseburn um at the globes that was a fun one she said she had six different swatches of green to choose from and they ended up choosing that one when when the dress is the color you got to get the color right right yeah yeah yeah Tessa Thompson in the chartreuse that was an amazing moment that was balenciaga right that was balenciaga fun story around that carla told me carla welsh thank you carla she's like we know we weren't sure on the color and we kept on umming and ahhing about it and pierre was like it's incredible you know we're gonna go with it and um carla was driving along and was thinking about it and a car drove past that was exactly the same color as that dress which by the way if you've seen this dress it's not a very common color no she's like that was that was the uh it was a sign there was a signal and so she literally texts tessa and was like it's a sign we're done that's it but yeah there's so many greens and then even last night gucci feathers denny in the green and kate hudson in giorgio armani in her jade with the peplum and the embellishment too i was like oh we're still seeing the there is still that green through line it's interesting because it's not the easiest color to wear but I suppose there's a green for everybody there's an everything for everyone there's an everything for everyone that's so true I was talking about this about the red carpet with Jamie Mizrahi and Lauren Sherman earlier and I was like oh I love that there was so much color and they said but there was no color on I was like what are you talking about there was lots of color on the red carpet there's lots of black and white also but I I think maybe I'm just thrilled I feel like we had a spate a few years ago of a lot of beige on the red carpet and a lot of like flesh tones which was not my favorite so i am personally like as a as a someone who loves color i am personally i will take anything over a neutral these primary brights it's almost like lego colors were popping like even last night barbie yeah and she had zach posen the gap studio beautiful bright popping cobalt blue it cheers you up it's literally like a shot even if we're sat you know you we're sitting on the panel we're sometimes not seeing these looks before they come up on the screen in front of us we've got to like comment quick and you see a color just oh everyone's posture changes something's happening yeah it's just very easy to understand you know so let's talk about the men are there any trends or details that you saw and really loved this season brooches the bros in brooches i have just the trend that won't stop i said i was like jamie you started all of this with jaw and his tiffany brooch and it feels like it's a continuing crescendo of brooches who didn't have a brooch on it was almost like you weren't dressed properly unless you had a brooch on and my favorite iteration of it was actually pedro pascal who had the i don't know if you saw it was like an enormous almost flower chanel beautiful apparently there were feathers involved with that too and i love also done by jamie mizrahi i was laughing because i I said, oh, is this the new thing?

24:45Is this now going to be flowers? And she said, yes, we're moving towards flowers. Also, I feel like we're seeing more color in our tuxedos now. I mean, yes, there's still the basic black, but we're seeing burgundy and chocolate brown and navy and dark green. And I just like all of the richness of that also makes me quite happy. Yeah, you're right. Even last night we saw Chase Stokes had the Dunhill, the maroon on. I spoke to Warren Alfie Baker as well. he does so many of the beautiful guys from my you know andrew garfield he had some of the guys from last night and he was saying he looks at their eyes and he's just as long as the eyes pop then that's how i know the right suit and he they really go by the color wheel as well like this the seasons ellaria urbanati as well is big on that she takes her boys and she's like you're an autumn you're a spring and then dresses them accordingly ellaria actually had a great term um color washing so for head to toe and colors i mean you saw it last night if you can call it color on Timmy, white on the white.

25:43But I do like that term color washing head to toe monochromatic. As you know, in the fashion industry, there have been so many changes with so many designers moving houses. But I'm wondering if there was a designer or a brand or a house that made the biggest impact in your opinion for this red carpet season. And who do you think is just warming up? Zach Posen is just warming up. I think the fact that he hit this red carpet season so hard with some of the youngest stars in Hollywood. Really good casting. Really good casting. I mean, this is not going anywhere. That's going to keep on going. Matthew Blasey, of course.

26:23Chanel was so well represented and so fun to see in this new iteration. I mean, the colors. We've never seen that kind of color. We've never seen this clover green that Rose wore, the orange that Teyana wore. It's really exciting to see and people run towards the house to dress for a red carpet event and Louis Vuitton. I mean, Nicole, you can't go wrong. Like just the futurism, the architecture, these incredible silhouettes, and they're just unique. We don't see enough of them on carpets and I'm just really excited to see more of it in the future. Strong agree. What do you think about stylists?

26:57Like whose work really stood out for you this year? I know that you have them all on speed dial and everyone has a different year when their clients are really like engaged and working, but who did it for you this award season? I've mentioned a few of them, I think. Well, you were with one of them earlier, Jamie Mizrahi. Smashed it. Carla Welsh always kills it. She's done such an incredible job with Renata, I'd say, specifically. Just knocked it out of the park. I would say Petra Flannery, Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana. Last night, just absolutely gorgeous. Kate Young, gorgeous. Rose Byrne, I think she's taken her to a whole new level.

27:38of style and I would say Tayana Taylor is probably my favorite stylist of the season because we all know she's self-styled she does her own creative direction she works directly with the houses and the designers themselves maybe you know Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli or Mathieu at Chanel and she has done an incredible job oh I say she works on her own actually she does have her daughter Junie helping her out and Rue still still on the go no um and Wayman and Micah have done an incredible job too and there's so many I mean these they're just all so talented as well and they've all got such great backstories which obviously fills you and I with Glee when we're reporting on it very much so and they all work their butts off I know it's a lot of planning a lot of angling a lot of process a lot of favors a lot of convincing like it is even strategy star yes so much strategy so when you look back on this award season are there some that you feel like is there anything that went particularly viral or really had a moment that you think was worthy of that moment or that it should have been a big moment i i'm forever going to remember this award season fondly thinking about teyana's bottom the scapparelli the scaparelli the diamante yeah it's it's a grained in my brain and it lives there rent free and it will do forevermore and it went viral for all the right reasons it was done in the classiest of ways I saw it in real life she gave me a spin it was it was so perfect just perfect perfect person perfect moment exactly Heidi Klum was interesting actually at the Grammys it was by a design a german designer i believe it was almost a fetish gear and i took a picture of her knowing how i put a video and that i put a video online i never seen so much pickup on a look it was insane because she was oh it was it was literally rubber she was kind of like tottering along it was kind of great i loved it i was like yeah you deserve it you do it heidi what about any favorite beauty moments from the season connor's story and his skin and i say it because he was wearing milk makeup.

29:52He did our whole Hydra Grip family. He was using our new concealer at the Globes and he's been using our Hydra Grip family throughout the season. So his skin, of course, his glassy Hydra Grip skin. And then I would say, you know what I was actually loving? The vampy lips. Selena Gomez at the Globes. That's like stamped on dark lip. Also Dove Cameron had that at the Actors Awards. Beautiful. I'm kind of into that. Very clean eye and a stamped on lip. How about you? If you work with Nina Park, I almost always will love your look. I just think that she does something. I don't think she's not done a video on it as far as I know.

30:31Katie Jane Hughes has gotten close. I think a lot of people are trying to reverse engineer what she does to make the lip so beautiful and blurred and just gorgeous. But no one really knows. It's her secret and it's so good. I'm going to figure this out. Nina, we're on to you. we are trying we've been asking we're trying to get the secret but um i think that everything that she's done with emma stone has been really stunning i mean it's just so gorgeous and polished and effortless and everything and very much that 90s because petra you know she was very much we're channeling that 90s minimalism and you see that in the makeup as well the glassy skin the blurred lip the barely there eye or if the eye is there it's a little bit like a line a little bit like someone slept in yeah it came us after a night out in the 90s I'll take that yeah you know what's interesting though you think about the Oscars this time last year so 2025 and Emma came out in that beautiful Louis Vuitton dress and we were saying oh it's this 90s moment and the hair was pixie and it was a little bit wet and the strategy behind that from that moment until this moment has been that you know and if you think about looking at Petra's mood board and Emma's It's so tight.

31:45And when you look back, you see the strategy. But when people are actually in it, you don't realize, right? But it's so clever. So clever. And it's just - I love it. It's like Easter eggs the whole way through. Yeah. Yeah. I have to say that I also love your video show, The Morning After, which you host with Jenna Lyons and June Ambrose, two other of my favorite women, absolute icons, the three of you. You all discussed red carpet looks, and it's so fun. You did a segment on that show called Bling from Bed where you talked about accessories. And so I have to ask if you have any favorite accessories or jewelry from this award season as a whole.

32:23Jewelry, I would say. Did you see Michelle Williams earrings at the Actor Awards? No. They were the natural diamonds. They were the Masika circular diamonds. They were absolutely beautiful. like click to buy if I could possibly afford those natural diamonds I would also say we mentioned it earlier Rose Burns necklace last night was one of my favorite I said it on the today show as well today the taffin yellow desert diamond I mean I have no idea how much that beauty was worth but it's like 23 carats worth of diamonds so we'll take it um Coleman Domingo's brooches but when they were the boucheron all over his jacket that was the biggest boucheron moment yeah and then one other ring from and I can say this because I've just done the morning after with Jenna in the bed behind me and she can just see they've just left and Jenna's favorite which I'm now going to steal from her was um Misty Copeland's ring did you see this last night Misty Copeland's it was Jared jewelry and it was like 1.8 million just for the ring I've never seen Jenna so effusive about a piece of jewelry before in my life it was beautiful it was so pretty oh there were so many so many good diamonds out there so many good diamonds did you have a favorite definitely roses necklace but then also the the vintage Cartier that Elle wore the wisteria diamonds last night like I'm a total sucker for a giant diamond necklace and I love vintage so you put those two things together and it's Cartier and it has and it's wisteria which is in season right now and so beautiful like I I mean sign seal delivered I'm just done it's two pieces as well wasn't it yeah it's two pieces joined together oh goodness yeah that was that was a moment um oh and then we saw kate hudson in the 35 million dollar i don't think i've seen that number no on a red carpet before right no i mean i can imagine the security well she brought her mama's security yeah that healthy home is her day i love that so one of my favorite things about your red carpet reporting is that you get the inside scoop on what people might not know about a dress just from looking at it.

34:36So you have fascinating stories about the number of beads, or I think I learned from you about that Renata's silver look at the Golden Globes was two pieces, which I had no idea. It's fascinating. You've talked to Kristen Bell about butt pads. You've talked about, like, there's so many things that you have discovered about hip foam and this. So what are some of your favorite bits of insight that you've learned on the red carpet this season that the average viewer would not know about a gown just from looking at it i live for those details too this the stuff the details that you don't see just by looking at it for sure thanks for noticing so rose byrne we just talked about her like the fact that that dress that green took six different swatches gwyneth paltrow the pant story last night oh also that look for last night for gwyneth paltrow so she wore the giorgio armani last night that look was actually on the rack for the golden globes it was supposed to wear the big at the kickoff of the season but it ended up being so good they're like we're gonna keep it until the last look of the season again strategy it was all laid out from the beginning you know they know what they're doing speaking of strategy jesse buckley danielle goldberg said that she'd started the season in black right they wanted to pay reverence for the character you know the film that she was playing a part in you know there was there was a real um severity of that conversation and that topic but she knew at the end of it they were going to end with this bright pop and so they had this build up throughout the whole season which is kind of beautiful that dress was actually gorgeous last night see I'm jumping back onto best dress now Hilary sorry I can't help myself but that um the pink and the red the Chanel I mean absolutely striking based on the Grace Kelly look from 70 years ago still classic still classic stunning what the campy beat jean smart does not have pierced ears so she wears millions of dollars worth of jewelry and has a security guard follow closely behind because they're all clippins oh that makes me nervous to hear i love that too you know oh my gosh so many fun facts like edessa a zion she is self-styled she does her own hair her own makeup and the reason being she just hates people up in her business.

36:52She doesn't like people fussing over her. And by the way, she's really good at doing all herself too. Might as well. Carry on. I don't know where they find their time though. That's a lot of work. Because you're in person and you see all of these looks up close, are there any that look even more amazing in person than they do on the smaller screen? Maybe someone like an Emma Stone, you know, the lavender dress, the lavender Louis Vuitton and with the cardigan i think people oh it's a slip dress with a car with a cropped cardi no no no no it's a simple little shrug was filled with so much intricate beadwork it was so striking in person like things like that i don't think sometimes register on camera and somebody just like you know a robin wright in the black ralph loren at the globes gorgeous like in person you're just like it's just knockout i'm not too sure if it would have read knockout in a picture but in reality like that is a class act I love that okay so with that in mind I'm gonna let you go but first a little quick lightning round I know we've talked about a lot of great stylists but who was your favorite stylist from this season?

38:01Teyana Taylor okay great favorite glam team Mara Rozek and Nina Park yes for Emma Stone that is like the dream team favorite look from the entire season Renata at the Golden Globes that Louis Vuitton dressed. So we had 800 ,000 bugle beads and there's 2 ,900 fringe work in that. You'll appreciate these numbers. 2 ,800 hours of work. I think it was like 400 hours to complete the manufacturing. I mean, it was a piece of art. And when you watched it walk by you, it was kind of very still, but it was moving at the same time. And Nikolai is so good at doing that. That was something that's really stuck in my mind for sure.
