00:01 - It really is.
00:02 - It's so beautiful though.
00:03 - Oh my gosh. - It's iconic.
00:04 - I need like a Beyonce fan though.
00:05 - I need a fan as well.
00:07 I'm so glad I'm not wearing any clothes.
00:09 - You dressed for the occasion.
00:10 - I really did.
00:11 I was cold outside and now I'm like, woo!
00:14 - Girl. - Boy, am I glad.
00:15 - Lizzie, you are having a moment tonight, my love.
00:17 - Oh, thank you so much.
00:19 - I mean, this is the look.
00:20 - Well, I love Christian.
00:21 I love coming to his show every time I'm invited.
00:24 I say yes.
00:25 And he just like makes women feel their most beautiful,
00:30 sexiest, most powerful version of themselves.
00:33 And I just, everyone, not just women, everyone
00:36 that he dresses.
00:37 - And don't we all just wanna feel like that
00:38 for a brief moment?
00:39 So here you are doing that now.
00:40 - Yeah, well, that's the best thing about clothes, right?
00:42 Like we get to be who we wanna be.
00:44 - Yeah, and speaking of clothes,
00:46 I believe there were several clothes, pieces of furniture
00:49 in a recent epic garage sale.
00:52 - It's the 10th and 11th here in New York City,
00:55 but we're putting some things online.
00:56 My ex-husband and I basically have had all of our stuff
01:00 in storage since we moved from Los Angeles to New York,
01:02 a huge amount of our stuff in storage.
01:05 And we were like, it's time, let's let go of it.
01:07 So we're doing this huge garage sale.
01:10 And then I also used the opportunity
01:12 to clean out my closets.
01:15 We're plural, plural closets.
01:16 - Why not?
01:17 I'm pretty sure I saw that you tapped your friend,
01:19 Michelle Williams, to maybe throw in some items.
01:21 - Michelle also threw in some items.
01:23 We're donating a portion of the proceeds
01:25 to the National Abortion Fund.
01:26 And yeah, we're like very excited to do it.
01:30 - That's incredible.
01:31 And you and Mark actually sifted through everything,
01:33 or most everything together.
01:34 I've seen the other brands.
01:35 - Together, together.
01:36 - So this has been a very,
01:38 this has not been a contentious divorce at all.
01:40 - Well, I mean, everything's got its season.
01:43 We're not contentious now.
01:45 - Yeah, I mean, but how have you navigated
01:47 for the sake of the family?
01:49 - Well, I think that we just both understood fundamentally
01:53 that we made a promise to each other and to our kids.
01:57 And so one part of the promise is different,
02:00 but the other part that raising our kids together
02:04 and being able to communicate is important and necessary.
02:09 And we weren't going to let any kind of hurt feeling
02:12 on either one of our sides affect how we can show up
02:17 for what is essentially still like a family.
02:20 - Absolutely.
02:21 - It just looks different.
02:22 - Yeah, so mature of both of you for the sake of the family.
02:24 What do you think is the most coveted item
02:26 that'll be up for sale at the garage sale?
02:28 - Oh, I know.
02:29 - Oh, what is it?
02:30 - People are freaking out.
02:31 Those Babysitter's Club books, people really want them.
02:33 - They're so good, Jessie!
02:34 - I know, but also the clothing is so good.
02:37 I just have such beautiful clothes
02:39 and I've kept everything for so, oh my God.
02:42 - There was a lot of stuff.
02:43 - The leopard coat that I'm wearing tonight,
02:44 I have had since I was 15 years old.
02:47 It's a vintage from the 1950s leopard coat that I've had.
02:50 And I was like, I'm going to the plaza.
02:51 I have to wear my vintage leopard.
02:53 - Yes, darling, we'll have fun tonight at the plaza.
