“It’s like a puzzle. Puzzling the looks to the person.” Ahead of Vogue World: Paris, stylist Harry Lambert and his team fine tune the looks for Por el Contrario singer Becky G, iconic drag-queen and model Symone and more as everyone prepares for the “défilé” of the year. After Harry heads to Angelina for some authentic French pastries, he and his team work on finding the best looks for their esteemed clientele ahead of the third instalment of Vogue World in the beautiful surroundings of Place Vendôme in central Paris.

00:00Maybe we can take pictures in front of this little door.
00:02We'll just move the chair.
00:03Oh, see, I do everything, look.
00:05I do everything.
00:08♪♪
00:16We are two days out from Vogue World.
00:18We have three days back-to-back.
00:21Today, we have, like, Simone, Becky G,
00:23and a few more others coming in today to fit.
00:26So what we will do is we have planned outfits and options
00:29for each of them, and we will go into our little cave of clothes
00:32and pull out different looks
00:34that we think would be great for them.
00:35This is my second Vogue World.
00:37It's all the best looks from the shows.
00:40It's like this melting pot of creativity
00:43and drama and fashion.
00:47I'm a little bit nervous.
00:48It's a little bit of chaos.
00:50You're making sure we have the looks arrived in time.
00:52I know my assistants are frantically this morning
00:54emailing the final PRs to make sure that, you know,
00:57Givenchy is coming or, like, Lambana's on its way.
01:00Today is normally a day of adrenaline and fun,
01:05meeting lots of characters and personalities
01:07and, you know, adapting to what each person is looking for,
01:11what they want to feel great in, how they feel comfortable,
01:14if they want to take a risk
01:15and do something a little bit exciting.
01:16♪♪
01:19We're going to head to our first fitting.
01:21But before I go, I'm just going to grab some pastries for my team
01:24as a little treat to say thank you.
01:26Oh, pleasure.
01:27Hey, Ib.
01:29How are you?
01:30Oh, sorry.
01:31Is it true?
01:33Don't.
01:33I am screaming.
01:36How's it going?
01:36I'm good.
01:37Should I take it off?
01:38Yeah.
01:39This is Ib, the iconic stylist who you saw.
01:41No, no, this is the iconic stylist.
01:42No, she's the iconic stylist.
01:44Ib is working on the runway for Sunday.
01:48And I've already seen some of the looks.
01:49You like it?
01:50Oh, some bits.
01:50She looks sensational.
01:51Just some little bits.
01:52I'm working on it.
01:53Just some little trinkets.
01:54Just some little, little bits.
01:55This is the star.
01:56No, no.
01:58I'll see you on, well, I'll see you around.
02:00I'll see you around.
02:00All right, bye, Angel.
02:05Honey, I'm home.
02:08I know I did go for a hot chocolate.
02:10I'm very sorry, but I have brought you some pastries
02:13to say thank you.
02:15This is Naomi.
02:16She's been with me for a few years.
02:18Sorry, Naomi.
02:19And this is Ella, who joined us about a year ago.
02:21We actually stole her from Vogue,
02:23and she now is part of our team.
02:25So sorry.
02:26These two lovely ladies here are our tailoring team
02:30for the fitting.
02:31So the pressure is on for them to alter.
02:36Now we're just getting ourselves ready,
02:38getting the energy going.
02:41Simone will be here soon, so we have everything set up
02:43for her in the room.
02:44We need to have a few options for each person
02:47so they feel happy as well and comfortable,
02:48that they're not pressured in just to one look.
02:51It's like a puzzle, puzzling the looks to the person.
02:53This is where the fun bit happens.
02:55Hi!
02:56I'm surprised.
02:57I love you too.
02:59Love you too. Thanks for having me.
03:00Hi.
03:02It's lovely to meet you.
03:03This is cute.
03:04Thank you.
03:05I gifted myself.
03:07Oh, we love gifting ourselves.
03:08I gifted myself a Balenciaga bag the other day,
03:10and I was just like, now I'm like,
03:12we'll just walk with it like this.
03:13I'm like, just make sure everyone can see it.
03:15There is your wine glass of water.
03:16Thank you.
03:19Only the best.
03:20Only the best.
03:21We have the earrings and stuff as well, right?
03:24So it has like, it's heavy,
03:25but I'm sure you're used to heavy.
03:28I'm a drag queen, you know.
03:30This as well, but we pulled these for you
03:32and then you can see what you're feeling.
03:33Where should we start?
03:37Oh!
03:38Good for you, baby.
03:39Gorgeous.
03:40Oh, she fits gorgeous.
03:42She's fab.
03:43Oh my God, love it.
03:46She looks gorgeous.
03:46I love her.
03:47She's gorgeous.
03:48She fits like a glove, right?
03:49Yeah, it's like a glove.
03:50She's quite Pablo's.
03:51Oh!
03:52Is it Dune?
03:54Is it the princess?
03:57I love camp.
03:58I love theater and costume.
04:02I don't mind when fashion,
04:03and especially red carpet,
04:04can sometimes teeter that fine line
04:06between costume and fashion,
04:08because I think it's such a fun line to play with.
04:12I think there's always should be an element of,
04:14I love a bit of fantasy, a bit of drama.
04:17Not every red carpet will call for those,
04:19you know, those things or too much,
04:21but I guess in my head,
04:22there's always an essence of humor
04:25and fun and joyfulness to the looks.
04:27The joy of women's wear is learning
04:28how all these little bits go.
04:30I do want a little bit of skin.
04:32Even tight, oh, you want some skin, yeah.
04:33Just a little bit.
04:34Oh, a little bit.
04:35A sliver, right?
04:38We're almost there.
04:39We're almost there.
04:40Right.
04:42Oh!
04:43Okay, we've got an elbow.
04:44We've got an elbow.
04:45Okay, there we go.
04:46There we go.
04:47Oh, because it makes your body do that.
04:49Yeah.
04:51The illusion.
04:52Okay.
04:53I love it too.
04:53I love it, but as with the barber, it's too hard.
04:56Sometimes things just don't work.
04:57Sometimes things are not made for you
04:59or it's just not meant to be, and that's fine.
05:01It's just about finding what looks perfect.
05:04If something doesn't work, it doesn't matter.
05:05There'll be something else that does
05:06and something that's better.
05:08Oh.
05:09How does one feel?
05:10I love, I feel very in charge.
05:15This feels like me.
05:17This feels like me.
05:22Hey, so we've just finished fitting Evan.
05:24If you want to come have a look and the big outfit reveal.
05:27Drum roll, drum roll, drum roll.
05:30Ta-da!
05:31Woo-hoo!
05:32I'm going to wear this shoe on my hand.
05:34It's his version of a purse.
05:36So we've gone for this Alexander McQueen look
05:39from the new show.
05:40Actually, the top is from the women's wear section,
05:43but we pulled it specifically for Evan
05:44because we thought it would look great on him.
05:47Thank you very much.
05:48Appreciate it.
05:49We are two, only two fittings down.
05:53Feels like we've done like 17, but we're two fittings down.
05:56So we are pulling looks for Becky G.
06:00We have this like fabulous Paco Rabanne dress,
06:04which we just need to work out the layering.
06:06We might need to pull Ella like some pants.
06:08Maybe do we have a little bandeau or something?
06:10So maybe let's have a little look.
06:12And then I think Becky likes to be quite like feminine.
06:16So I think something like this
06:17could be really beautiful on her.
06:18Although it's very long.
06:19Again, things that may be a little bit more expected.
06:21So I've got a blazer, like little jumpsuit,
06:23which is super cute.
06:24We'll put a fit, like this.
06:26And then, you know, something more like strapless.
06:31You can kind of see, I guess, like when we pull each rail,
06:33like this one looks very different
06:35to our last rail that we pulled.
06:37And everyone's kind of should feel different.
06:39You know, it's kind of, again,
06:40focusing on what their style could be
06:42or what their vibe is
06:43and kind of like honing in on that.
06:45I think for the boys,
06:46I'd probably try and stay away from any more black.
06:48Hi.
06:50And this is us ordering sushi for dinner.
06:53Oh, it's not sushi.
06:54Oh, it's not sushi.
06:55It's kebabs.
06:58Well, we'll see.
06:59Something...
07:00It's a fancy kebab.
07:01It's a fancy kebabs.
07:02Fancy clothes and fancy kebabs.
07:05What more could you want, right?
07:10Let it go.
07:11Let it roll.
07:12I grew up by the LAX airport, so I'm used to it.
07:14Yeah, yeah, I'll start from the beginning again.
07:16We're here with Becky.
07:18Becky G.
07:19Hi.
07:20And we're just...
07:20Well, you caught us in the middle
07:21of showing through the rail
07:22of what looks we've pulled for her at the moment for Sunday.
07:26So yeah, we're just showing through some options.
07:31So yeah, this is Alexandra Voltier.
07:33So this is like a good shirt piece.
07:35But we thought we could put like velvet gloves
07:37with it as well, like sheer tights.
07:38So it's kind of like that bit of drama.
07:40Oh, she has a belt.
07:41Yeah, optional belt as well.
07:43But it's like super cute.
07:44But like there's something...
07:45We try to pull things that obviously like
07:48would be great for your height.
07:49So like kind of like, you know, elongate the legs.
07:50Because I'm so tall.
07:52You're known for being really tall.
07:53I'm like ridiculously tall.
07:54Yeah, I was like, someone called me.
07:55I was like, she's really tall.
07:57Yeah.
07:57Just a heads up.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Yeah, so everything's super long.
08:01This is really interesting in heavies.
08:02But it's like one-armed and it's quite amazing.
08:05Maybe what we'll do is pull up a picture so you can see it.
08:08But sorry, it's just, it's heavy.
08:09Yeah.
08:11I mean, hey, she goes to the gym, you know.
08:12Yeah, I think it's always good to start with a favorite.
08:15So we're going to excuse you and your eyes
08:18and we're going to try this on
08:19and then we will be back shortly.
08:26Hey!
08:28Hi there!
08:30You know, what's a good test too?
08:31Just curious.
08:33Can I tap on my phone?
08:34Oh yeah.
08:35With these gloves.
08:36Ah, good question.
08:37Can you?
08:38I can!
08:39Good.
08:40Woo!
08:41Good news, everyone.
08:42Thank God.
08:42Wow.
08:43I think Becky was drawn to this one.
08:46We're just a few little pins.
08:47We just need to fix a few things in place,
08:48but it fits like a glove.
08:51It really does.
08:52It's so beautiful.
08:53Very minimal adjustments needed.
08:56It's like the draping is all in like the perfect places.
09:00It's impactful, it's chic.
09:03I mean, I'm obsessed.
09:04I think it's gorgeous.
09:06Comfy, which is always a bonus.
09:08When you have a comfy outfit as well,
09:10what more can you want?
09:11Yeah, this is it.
09:12I think this is it.
09:13I think it feels good.
09:14I think sometimes if you know it's the one
09:16and then you try more,
09:17it kind of ruins that excitement of the first one
09:20because it's like, this is it.
09:21I look amazing.
09:22We're done.
09:23Just a few slight pinnings.
09:24We're just going to like tighten the neck a little bit,
09:26pin some of the beautiful draping in place
09:28so we have no nipple mishaps, which is very normal.
09:32So yeah, we're going to pin those in place,
09:34but it's very, very minimal altering.
09:37It's like the drape that they did on this was like perfect.
09:41When you have like something that's designed this good,
09:43like it's just the smallest little details
09:46that just fix it in place.
09:48We love, we love.
09:50Yay!
09:55Styling lots of people in one day
09:56can get quite intense, I guess.
09:59I think the main thing is about keeping your energy up
10:01for everyone so they all get the most of you all time.
10:04Sometimes people get scared to tell you
10:08they don't like something
10:09or a bit nervous to tell you their opinion
10:11and actually that's what I really want.
10:12Whenever I start working with a new talent,
10:15I'm always like, tell me if you hate something,
10:17I really don't mind.
10:18Because my worst thing is like I put you in something
10:21and you know that I like it, but you don't like it
10:24and then you wear it and then you're not happy.
10:26For me, you kind of fail as your job as a stylist
10:29because they've got on the red carpet not feeling great.
10:34So I always say to anyone that I work with,
10:35please tell me if you don't like it
10:37so then we can fix it and make it better.
10:39I really love the look.
10:40I love the color, I love the blazer.
10:43I think it's a very, very nice suit,
10:44but I'm just scared about the legs.
10:46So I think what we'll do
10:48is we'll try something else on as well.
10:50So Lisa and Jacob has the options.
10:53Okay, so we are in a Lanvin, Lanvin suit.
10:57This is option two.
10:57So it's quite like classic with a twist, I guess.
11:00It's like such a beautiful blazer with a black pant
11:04and the big Lanvin shoes and then this like
11:07cute little scarf, like nice little detail,
11:09nice little like optional addition, you know.
11:13We love a corsage, a flower.
11:14I think sometimes it can be kind of a bit aging,
11:17but like because of the pink and the black,
11:19it feels quite modern and like quite like chic,
11:23you know, and expensive, which we like.
11:27It's a very good combination.
11:28It's nice, right?
11:29The black and this light pink, it's really cool.
11:31Yeah, let's get a picture of that.
11:33There's something about that that's quite like,
11:36it's a bit camp, which I love,
11:40but it's still chic.
11:40You make it look very like, you know, hot.
11:47Hi, nice to meet you.
11:49I'm Harry.
11:50I'm Olivia.
11:51The sun has just come out on your arrival,
11:52which feels very appropriate.
11:54I've been saving this and I was like,
11:55it could be like such a major moment, I think.
11:57Cause it's like, Anna's really into having some
12:01really fab archival vintage in there.
12:03This is vintage Jean Paul Gaultier.
12:05So we've got that one and we have this one as well,
12:06which is also Jean Paul Gaultier.
12:08So it's a set together.
12:09Yeah, but it's kind of one of those ones where I think like
12:12with the shoes and gloves, when you have it on,
12:14I think it transforms into something like, you know,
12:18different.
12:18So I kind of love that.
12:20And then we've also got a few like younger designers,
12:22like French ones.
12:23Like again, like this is like, this is gorgeous.
12:25Got like Courrèges, which is this kind of like chic.
12:29Is this Courrèges?
12:30Yeah, am I going crazy?
12:32I am right.
12:33It's so funny.
12:34It's like, you wear the hood up,
12:35it's kind of like really minimal and chic,
12:37but pants as well.
12:40Where would you like to start?
12:41Where would you like to start?
12:42Should we start with a,
12:43do you want to start with this?
12:45And we can see if that works.
12:46And then, so what I might do is shift you out
12:49while we get naked.
12:51Shoe-wise, yeah.
12:52And then we'll, yeah, and then we'll try it on
12:53and then we'll see if we reveal or not.
12:56We'll see if we show you.
12:57Okay, we are ready with Olivia's look.
13:00Get out of the way for the reveal.
13:01I absolutely love it.
13:04We're just going to tighten it ever so slightly at the back,
13:07but it's like perfect fit.
13:08It's like a dream.
13:09I've been holding this look for the perfect person
13:12and I'm so happy.
13:14I'm so happy.
13:15No, I'm so happy.
13:16I'm like, and we even found the perfect burgundy shoe
13:18to go with it.
13:19The perfect underwear.
13:21I love when it's a one-hit wonder,
13:23when you see the first thing on the rail
13:25and you're like, okay, let's try that.
13:26And then that's it.
13:27Do you know what it feels?
13:28Yeah, it feels like it was destiny.
13:30Sounds very dramatic.
13:31Fashion dramatics.
13:33Destiny.
13:33This was destiny.
13:37I am feeling dehydrated
13:40because I forgot to drink all day.
13:42I'm feeling really good though.
13:44We had a few one-hit wonders, which are always a dream,
13:46which is when someone tries them on,
13:48the first thing that they see
13:49or the first thing they love and it just works.
13:51So that's always like a nice moment
13:53because it's just nice and easy and breezy and fun.
13:57It's always fun on the day of,
13:58like last Vogue World,
14:00it was like sending your kids off to school, I feel.
14:02Like I would greet them at the red carpet
14:05and it was like giving them a hug
14:07and like checking them and fixing them
14:09and then like sending them on their way.
14:11That's me done for today.
14:12So thank you for following me, Vogue.
14:14I'm gonna drink a lot of water
14:16and I am going to have a bath and watch Love Island.
14:21So I hope that was a fun insight
14:23into the Vogue World red carpet.
14:25And yeah, enjoy the show.
14:26Oh, thanks.
14:29Is this for me?
14:30I love a gift.
14:32I love gifts.
14:34From Anna Wintour.
14:36A welcome to Vogue World.
14:38Okay.
14:39I'm guessing it's from Balenciaga.
14:40I hope so.
14:43Okay, amazing.
14:44So good.
14:45It's the Vogue and Balenciaga collaboration T-shirt
14:49with the location on the back.
14:50This is gonna be a collector's piece.
14:52I'm very excited to have this.
