In honor of the Met Gala tomorrow, I'm going to be sharing with you all my red carpet routine, okay? And here's the thing, right? There's already bits and pieces of my red carpet routine out there on the internet. If you wanted to find it, you could. But I've never sat down and dedicated like an hour to describing it in unnecessary detail. So that's what I'm going to be doing today.
And here's the other thing. If you were to Google red carpet routine and click on the very first Google result that came up, there's a really good chance that you would find a routine that is exactly like mine. Okay? Everybody's red carpet routine is, for the most part, the same. It consists of facials and fittings and getting a haircut. It's like... It can only get so interesting.
So again, like nothing I'm going to share with you today is going to shock you. I'm not going to tell you today that I get bird feces injected into my under eyes before the carpet because it makes me look 10 years younger. If I was 10 years younger, I would look 13. But honestly, that's kind of the beauty standard, to look as young as possible and to have the least amount of wrinkles possible.
Anywho, but what makes this routine special is that it's mine. And so without further ado, I invite you all to sit back, relax, and listen to me describe my red carpet routine in unnecessary detail. Let's begin. The red carpet routine, I would say, starts like one or two months before the carpet because the outfit doesn't just take a few days to pick out.
No, picking out the outfit is the most time consuming part because the thing about a red carpet is that one of the like one of the. key characteristics of it is that it's a formal event. There are rarely red carpets that aren't formal. So you can't just go in your closet and pick out your favorite little outfit. Like you need to be dressed to the nines, of course.
And the process of finding an outfit is I think a bit more complicated than people would expect. Because again, it's not like, oh, I'm going shopping, right? Like, oh, I'm going shopping and I'm going to pick out a gown and I'm going to buy it and then I'm going to wear it. Instead, it's a process of figuring out what brands want to loan out a fancy look for a red carpet.
And most people are like, I don't want to do that myself. So they have a stylist do it. My best friend slash stylist, Jared, is the one who does this for me. And so the process starts like two months before the carpet. And he could speak to this process better than I could.
But from what I understand, the process starts with him sort of reaching out to different brands that I like, that he likes, and asking, hey, would you be down to dress my client, Miss Emma? And then they either respond, sure. Like, do you want something from the new collection? Do you want something custom? Or they say, absolutely not. We hate her and she's hideous, right?
And she sucks and we hate her work and we think she's annoying and she sucks. No, I'm kidding. But they're probably thinking that when they say no. And so then from there, it's like, OK, what are they down to do? You know, are they going to let us basically rent something from the runway or are they going to make us a brand new custom sort of look?
