Hi.

Miss Chamberlain.

I love that you had to take the arm out.

[Ashley laughing]

You had to, like, initiate.

There you go.

I can't do it like that.

This is epic.

It's like this. Yes, I'm wearing Harris Reed.

Oh, my God, so good.

And this is an idea off of Karl's 1987,

'88 Haute Couture Chanel dress.

And it was same color-

Oh. Same hips.

Amazing!

Harris did a Harris twist.

Love it.

And my body came and said, Hello!

You look incredible. [Ashley laughing]

This is- Thank you.

So far tonight,

looks like the most challenging dress to walk in.

Thank you.

But you look effortless, you look amazing.

I love the hair. Thank you.

Was that a challenge to,

I don't know, orchestrate? Did that take a long time?

Well, thank God I didn't have to do it.

Oh, great. Yeah, you know?

I mean, obviously.

There's people for that.

There's people who do that for us.

We can't do that.

I think the challenge is sitting in hair and makeup

for like, four hours.

One hundred percent. It's awful, isn't it?

One hundred percent.

It's a chore, but it's worth it.

It's a chore. You know,

the content we get out of it.

The content.

By the way, isn't it just a content machine being

in the glam chair?

It's just out of control. It's out of control.

My legs get numb. Yeah.

I have to shake it out. Shake it out.

I go into pigeon pose a lot.

I know, I get it. You know,

happy baby, that's a good one.

Yep, totally.

Done, mic drop.

Mic drop, literally.

That was really good. Did you like that?

The whole Vogue team- I played sports.

Was like, Oh shit!

I played sports in school.

Thank you.

Good to see you. I'll see you in there.

Good to see you. You're an icon.

You look amazing. You're gorge.

I hope that you can unzip off a part of that.

We'll see.

Like once you get in and be comfy. Whatever.
