Diane Kruger looks pretty awesome on the red carpet and is effortlessly cool. I’m also a fan of Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin.
Red carpet dressing all depends on the climate. I think richer, deeper colours are more flattering on the body, but the opposite is true if you are in Cannes or St. Tropez where the light makes deep colours look heavy and unflattering.
I don’t have an endgame. My game is to take on any bad guys I see out there. And do the best I can until they put me under the carpet.
You are supposed to have a dream of walking the red carpet. But I’m really not like that. Because fame is… I don’t think it is something interesting or precious.
If I have to do a red carpet, and there is a whole team, then it is an hour with the hair and make-up. But if I am just going out with friends, it is 15 minutes max in front of the mirror. A quick five minutes on my face, and I always wear my hair up.

Fashion is really a place where every other industry connects, whether it’s music or acting. At the end of the day, everyone is going to walk the red carpet and be interested in the fashion side of it. I think that’s really cool because as a model, you get to connect with a lot of different worlds.
Everyone wants to go to the party and the red carpet, but my life is 90% the work.
It’s funny, one of my most solid carpet moments happened in the very beginning, before I started thinking that I needed all these other people to do my hair and makeup, and pick out my clothes. I wore a cheetah sweater and a red hat, and it’s one of my favorite looks, even still.
The only place I want to be recognised is the red carpet or an actor, where I am in my professional capacity. Otherwise I just want to be left alone.
We just compare our lifestyle to movies so you can relate to them. When I say, ‘I bought a carpet from Aladdin so I could finesse and do magic,’ that means I had to get me a new whip or I had to get me something in disguise to work my magic, to finesse, to get out of here.
The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There’s nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.
I went to the premier of ‘Stardust,’ which starred Michelle Pfeiffer. I nearly died when I saw her on the red carpet – she’s so beautiful.

I think it’s particularly fun not being a full-time showbiz reporter because you still have the ‘Oh, wow!’ factor when you go out on the red carpet and there are these big stars that are standing there. But if you’re doing this day in and day out, it becomes a little blase.
It’s very difficult when there are pictures taken on the red carpet. I find those things so terrifying that another persona just kicks in. I don’t recognise myself.

Even on the red carpet, French celebrities keep it minimal. Think of Charlotte Gainsbourg – the look can be quite undone.
You never want to be caught off guard on the red carpet.
I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they’re all so jaded. They don’t care.

I like to be other people, not me. And when you’re on the red carpet, it’s like, ‘Here’s Tom Hardy.’ I don’t want to be me. That’s why I play other people.

There’s always blood on the carpet when I play Beethoven at the piano. I hate playing the piano! And it’s so hard to fight for Beethoven’s soul! But that’s what I have to do!
I remember being on a red carpet and they put the mic to us and asked ‘are you feminists?’ and we panicked. We were so terrified to speak back then.
I used to hate getting dressed, getting in front of the camera and walking down the red carpet. It bothered me because I felt like I couldn’t be what they wanted me to be. Now it’s still not my favorite thing, but I get through it a lot easier because I know that my work brings value to who I am.
Generally for red carpet, I love to relax first. I love to work out. I love to eat well, drink tons of water beforehand, so on the night of the red carpet I feel good and ready to go. I also love to get a good body scrub.
