Transcript

Maybe we can take pictures in front of this little door.

We'll just move the chair.

[groans] See, I do everything.

Look. [Symone laughing]

I do everything.

[upbeat pop music]

We are two days out from Vogue World.

We have three days back to back.

Today, we have like, Simone, Becky G,

and a few more others coming in today to fit.

So what we will do is,

we have planned outfits and options for each of them

and we will go into our little heap of clothes

and pull out different looks

that we think would be great for them.

This is my second Vogue World.

It's all the best looks from the shows.

It's like this melting pot of creativity

and drama and fashion.

I'm a little bit nervous. It's a little bit of chaos.

Y'know, making sure we have the looks arrive in time.

I know my assistants are frantically, this morning,

emailing the final PRs to make sure that, you know,

Givenchy is coming or like, Lanvin is on its way.

Today is normally a day of adrenaline and fun,

meeting lots of characters and personalities

and you know, adapting to what each person is looking for,

what they wanna feel great in, how they feel comfortable.

If they want to take a risk

and do something a little bit exciting.

[upbeat pop music]

We're gonna head to our first fitting,

but before I go,

I'm just gonna grab some pastries for my team

as a little treat to say thank you.

Oh, pleasure.

Hey, Ib. How are you?

Oh, sorry. [laughing]

Don't [murmurs]. I am screaming.

[Ib screams]

How's it going? I'm good.

Are you okay?

Should I take it off? Yeah.

Oh, this is Ib, the iconic stylist who's-

No, no, this is the iconic-

No, she's-

You're an iconic stylist.

Ib is working on the runway for Sunday.

And I've already seen some of the looks.

Some bits. Do you like it?

Oh, some bits. Oh, she looks sensational.

Just some little bits I'm working on.

Just some little trinkets.

Just some little, little bits.

This is the star. No, don't!

[both laughing]

I'll see you on,

well, I'll see you around.

I'll see you around. All right. Bye, angel.

[upbeat pop music]

Honey, I'm home. [laughing]

I know, I did go for a hot chocolate.

I'm very sorry, but I have brought you some pastries

[staff exclaiming] to say thank you.

This is Naomi. Hi!

She's been with me for a few years.

Sorry, Naomi. [Naomi laughs]

And this is Ella,

who joined us about a year ago.

We actually stole her from Vogue

and she now is part of our team.

So sorry.

These two lovely ladies here are our tailoring team

for the fittings.

So the pressure is on for them to alter.

Now we're just getting ourselves ready,

getting the energy going.

Symone will be here soon.

So we have everything set up for her in the room.

We need to have a few options for each person

so they feel happy as well,

and comfortable that they're not pressured

in just to one look.

It's like a puzzle. Puzzling the looks to the person.

This is where the fun bit happens.

Hi! Hi!

What a surprise.

[everyone laughs]

How are you? Lovely to meet you.

Thanks for having a,

hi!

Hey.

This is cute. Thank you.

I got it, gifted myself.

Oh, we love gifting ourselves.

I gifted myself a Balenciaga bag the other day

and I was just like, now I'm like,

just walk with it like that.

[everyone laughs]

Just make sure everyone can see it.

There is your wine glass of water.

Thank you. [both laughing]

Only the best. Only the best.

We have the earrings and stuff as well, right? I think.

So it has like, it's heavy,

but I'm sure you're used to heavy.

Oh yeah. I'm a drag queen, you know.

[both laughing]

This as well, but we pulled these for you

and then you can see what you're feeling.

Where should we start? Where should we start?

[everyone exclaiming]

Gorgeous. Oh, she fits gorgeous.

[laughs] She's fab. Oh my god, love it.

So she looks gorgeous. I love her.

[Harry] She's gorge. She fits like a glove, right?

Yeah. It's like a glove.

Like Pablo, isn't it? Oh, is it Dune?

It's good. Is it the princess?

[Symone laughs]

I love camp.

I love theater and costume.

I don't mind when fashion and especially red carpet

can sometimes teeter that fine line

between costume and fashion

because I think it's such a fun line to play with.

I think there always should be an element of

a bit of fantasy, a bit of drama.

Not every red carpet will call for those, you know,

those things or too much.

But I guess in my head there's always an essence of humor

and fun and joyfulness to the looks.

The joy of women's wear is learning

how all these little bits go.

I do want a little bit of skin.

Tighten this a little bit. You can tighten,

oh, you want some skin, yeah?

Just a little bit. Oh, a little bit.

A sliver, right?

We're almost there.

We're almost there. Right.

Oh, okay. We've got an elbow.

We got an elbow. Okay, there we go.

There we go. Okay.

Oh, because it makes you like that.

Yeah. Oh.

The illusion. The illusion.

Okay. I love it too.

I love it. But- It's too hot.

I think the rubber, it's too hot.

Sometimes things just don't work.

Sometimes things are not made for you

or it's just not meant to be and that's fine.

It's just about finding what looks perfect.

Something doesn't work, it doesn't matter.

There'll be something else that does

and something that's better.

Oh!

[Harry] How does one feel?

I love, I feel very in charge. [laughs]

This feels like me. This feels like me.

Hey, so we've just finished fitting Evan

if you want to come have a look

and the big outfit reveal.

Drum roll, drum roll drum roll.

Ta-da! Woo!

I'm gonna wear this shoe on my hand.

It's his version of a purse.

So we've gone for this Alexander McQueen look

from the new show.

Actually the top is from the women's wear section,

but we pulled it specifically for Evan

'cause we thought it would look great on him.

Thank you very much.

No deal. Appreciate it.

We are two,

only two things down? Two things down.

It feels like we've done like 17,

but we're two things down.

So we are pulling looks for Becky G.

We have this like fabulous Paco Rabanne dress,

which we just need to work out the layering.

We might need to pull, Ella, like some pants maybe.

Do we have a little bandeau or something?

Yeah.

So maybe let's have a little look.

And then I think Becky likes to be quite, like, feminine.

So I think something like this

could be really beautiful on her,

although it's very long.

Again, things that may be a little bit more expected.

So a blazer, like, little jumpsuit, which is super cute.

We'll put with it at first.

And then you know, something more like strapless.

You can kind of see, I guess, like when we pull each rail,

like this one looks very different

to our last rail that we pulled,

and everyone's kind of should feel different.

You know, it's kind of again,

focusing on what their style could be or what their vibe is

and kind of like, honing in on that.

I think for the boys I'd probably try

and stay away from any more black.

Hi.

And this is us ordering sushi for dinner.

[Naomi] Oh, it's not sushi.

Oh it's not sushi. It's kebabs.

Well we'll see.

Something-

It's a fancy kebab. It's fancy kebabs.

Fancy clothes and fancy kebabs.

What more could you want, right?

[siren wailing in the distance]

So let it go. Let it roll.

I grew up by the LAX airport.

Harry, can you start- Yeah, yeah.

I'll start from the beginning.

We are here with Becky. Becky G.

Hi.

And we're just,

well, you've caught us in the middle

of showing through the rail

of what looks we've pulled for her at the moment for Sunday.

So yeah, we are just showing through some options.

So yeah, this is Alexandre Vauthier.

So this is like a couture piece,

but we thought we could put like,

velvet gloves with it as well.

Like sheer tights. So it's kind of like that big drama.

Oh she has a belt. Yeah.

Sick. Optional belt as well.

But it's like super cute.

But like there's something,

we try to pull things, obviously,

like, would be great for your height.

So like, kind of like, you know,

elongate the legs. Because I'm so tall.

You're known for being really tall.

I'm ridiculously tall.

Yeah, I was like,

someone called me and was like,

She's really tall. Just a heads up.

Yeah. Yeah.

So everything's super long. [Becky laughs]

This is really interesting and heavy,

but it's like one armed and it's quite amazing.

Maybe what we'll do is pull up a picture so you can see it.

[Becky] Okay.

But sorry, it's just, it's heavy.

[Becky] Yeah.

I mean, hey, she goes to the gym, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

I think it's always good to start with a favorite.

So we are gonna excuse you and your eyes

and we're gonna try this on

and then we will be back shortly.

[upbeat music]

Hey!

Harry!

You know what's a good test too? Just, just curious.

Can I tap on my phone?

Oh yeah. With these gloves.

Oh, good question. Can you? I can.

Good. Woo. Good news, everyone.

Thank God. Wow.

I think Becky was drawn to this one.

With just a few little pins.

We just need to fix a few things in place.

But it fits like a glove.

It really does. It's so beautiful.

Very minimal adjustments needed.

It's like the draping is all in, like, the perfect places.

It's impactful, it's chic. I mean, I'm obsessed.

I think it's gorgeous

And she's comfy, which is always a bonus.

When you have a comfy outfit as well,

what more can you want? It's, you know,

yeah, this is it.

I think this is it.

I think it feels good.

I think sometimes if you know it's the one

and then you try more,

it kind of ruins that excitement of the first one.

'Cause it's like this is it. I look amazing.

We're done.

Just a few slight pinnings.

We're just gonna like, tighten the neck a little bit,

pin some of the beautiful draping in place

so we have no nipple mishaps, which is very normal.

So yeah, I'm gonna pin those in place.

But it's very, very minimal altering.

It's like the drape that they did on this was like perfect.

When you have like, something that's designed this good,

like, it's just the smallest little details

that just fix it in place.

We love, we love. Yay!

Styling lots of people in one day

can get quite intense, I guess.

I think the main thing

is about keeping your energy up for everyone

so they all get the most of you at all time.

Sometimes people can get scared

to tell you they don't like something

or a bit nervous to tell you their opinion.

And actually, that's what I really want.

Whenever I start working with a new talent,

I'm always like, Tell me if you hate something.

I really don't mind.

Because my worst thing is like,

I put you in something and you know that I like it,

but you don't like it

and then you wear it and then you're not happy.

For me, you kind of fail at your job as a stylist

because they've gone on the red carpet not feeling great.

So I always say to anyone that I work with,

Please tell me if you don't like it.

So then we can fix it and make it better.

I really love the look.

I love the color, I love the blazer.

I think it's a very, very nice suit,

but I'm just scared about the legs.

So [laughs].

Yeah, I think what we'll do is,

we'll try something else on as well.

So Lisa, Jacob has the options.

[Lisa] Yes. Tell us.

Okay, so we are in a Lanvin,

a Lanvin suit.

This is option two.

So it's quite like, classic with a twist, I guess.

It's like such a beautiful blazer with a black pant

and the big Lanvin shoes.

And then this like, cute little scarf,

like nice little detail,

nice little, like, optional addition.

You know, we love a corsage, a flower.

I think sometimes it can be kind of a bit aging

but like, because the pink and the black,

it feels quite modern

and like quite chic, you know, and expensive.

Very good. Which we like.

[Jacob] It's a very good combination.

It's nice, right?

[Jacob] With the black and this light pink.

It's very cool.

Yeah, let's get a picture of that.

There's something about that that's quite like,

it's a bit camp, which I love, but it's still chic.

You make it look very like, you know, hot.

[upbeat music]

Hi, nice to meet you. How are you?

I'm Harry. Nice to meet you.

I'm Olivia.

The sun has just come out on your arrival.

Yes.

Which feels very appropriate.

I've been saving this and I was like,

it could be like- This is beautiful.

Such a major moment, I think.

'Cause it's like,

Anna's really into having some really fab archive

or vintage in there.

But this is vintage Jean Paul Gaultier.

So we've got that one and we have this one as well,

which is also Jean Paul Gaultier.

So it's a set together? Yeah.

But it's kind of one of those ones

where I think, like,

with the shoes and gloves, when you have it on,

I think it transforms into something

like, you know, different. Different.

So I kind of love that.

And then we've also got a few like younger designers,

like French ones, like again, this is like,

this is gorgeous,

but like Courreges, which is this kind of like chic.

Wow. Is this Courreges?

Yeah. Am I going crazy?

Yes. I am right.

I am very obsessed with that.

It's so funny, it's like,

it's like you wear the hood up.

It's kind of like, really minimal and chic,

but pants as well.

Where would you like to start?

[Olivia] Where would you like me to start?

Should we start with a,

do you wanna start with this

and we can see if that works?

Yeah.

And then so what I'm gonna do is shift you out

[Olivia laughs] while we get naked.

Shoo while I change. [both laugh]

And then we'll, yeah, and then we'll try it on

and then we'll see if we reveal or not.

We'll see if we show you.

Okay. We are ready with Olivia's look.

Get outta the way for the reveal.

[Olivia laughs]

I absolutely love it. Voila.

We are just gonna tighten it ever so slightly in the back,

but it's like perfect fit.

It's like a dream.

I've been holding this look

for the perfect person and I'm so happy.

[both giggling]

I'm so happy. No, I'm so happy.

I'm like,

and we even found the perfect burgundy shoe to go with it.

The perfect underwear. They're comfortable.

I love when it's a one hit wonder,

when you see the first thing on the rail

and you're like, Okay, let's try that.

And then that's it.

Did it feel- Feels great.

Yeah. It feels like it was destiny.

Sounds very dramatic.

Fashion dramatics. Destiny.

[laughs] It's destiny. This was destiny.

I'm feeling dehydrated because I forgot to drink all day.

I'm feeling really good, though.

We had a few one hit wonders, which are always a dream,

which is when someone tries them on,

the first thing that they see or the first thing they love

and it just works.

So that's always like a nice moment,

'cause it's just nice and easy and breezy and fun.

It's always fun on the day of.

Like last Vogue World,

it was like sending your kids off to school, I feel.

Like I would greet them at the red carpet

and so it's like giving them a hug and like checking them

and fixing them and then like, sending them on their way.

That's me done for today.

So thank you for following me, Vogue.

I'm gonna drink a lot of water

and I am going to have a bath and watch Love Island.

So [laughs]

hope that was a fun insight

into the Vogue World red carpet

and yeah, enjoy the show.

Oh, thanks. Woo.

This is for me.

I love a gift. I love gifts.

Okay. [bright pop music]

From Anna Wintour,

a welcome to Vogue World.'

Okay, I'm guessing it's from Balenciaga.

I hope so.

[gasps] Okay, amazing.

Ah! So good.

It's the Vogue and Balenciaga collaboration T-shirt

with the location on the back.

This is gonna be a collector's piece.

I'm very excited to have this.
