YOU'RE LIKE A HOT WATER BOTTLE.
THE MET GAL AFS MONDAY NIGHT.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: MY LOVELY WIFE, EVY, AND I WERE HONORED TO BE
INVITED TO IT.
HAVE YOU RECOVERED YET?
HAVE YOU GONE TO SLEEP YET?
>> BARELY.
IT'S BEEN A-- A LOT OF RECOVERY TIME AND WONDERING WHO IS UPSET
ABOUT WHERE THEY SAT AND WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHAT WENT RIGHT.
>> Stephen: DO PEOPLE GET UPSET ABOUT WHERE THEY SIT?
>> OH, UNBELIEVABLE, IN-DEPTH DISCUSSIONS, YES.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU PERSONALLY SET OUT WHERE
EVERYBODY SITS RIGHT?
>> YES, YES.
>> Stephen: SO YOU'RE THE PERSON TO BE MAD AT
SPECIFICALLY.
>> HOW WAS YOUR SEAT.
>> Stephen: I LOVED MY SEATS.
BUT CAN I ASK YOU WHAT THE RATIONALE WAS?
I'LL TELL YOU WHO I WAS SITTING WITH.
>> YOU WERE SITTING NEXT TO SIENNA MILLER.
>> Stephen: I WAS AND JULIE CORDEN, WHO IS LOVELY--
>> I FELT YOU COULD TALK ABOUT LATE-NIGHT SHOWS.
>> Stephen: WE DIDN'T, BUT WE COULD HAVE.
( LAUGHTER ) AND THEN HUGH JACK MAN WAS OVER
HERE.
AMAL CLOONEY OVER HERE.
SCARLET JOHANNSEN-- >> SHE WAS A HOSTESS.
SHE WAS WORKING THE TABLE S.
>> Stephen: SHE WAS.
COLIN FIRTH.
WHY WAS I SEATED WITH THOSE PEOPLE?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> WELL, OBVIOUSLY, YOU WERE A STAR ATTRACTION.
>> AND THOUGHT YOU WERE VERY WELL DRESSED.
>> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU.
SO YOU NEEDED ME AT THAT END OF THE TABLE TO REALLY ANCHOR WITH
SOME STAR POWER BECAUSE ALL YOU HAD WAS HUGH JACKMAN AND
SCARLET-- I UNDERSTAND IT.
I UNDERSTAND IT.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HONEST.
( LAUGHTER ) I HAVE A QUESTION OF THE
PROPRIETY OF THE EVENING.
BECAUSE THERE'S A DINNER.
THAT'S NOT JUST SORT OF THE PARADE OF BEAUTY AND COSTUME AND
FASHION.
IT'S A DINNER.
YOU SIT DOWN.
THERE ARE COURSES.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: BUT WE'RE ALL PERFECTLY WELL-BRED PEOPLE.
WE SIT DOWN-- THERE HAS TO BE HOW MANY PEOPLE, 24 PEOPLE AT
THE TABLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> AT THE TABLE YOU WERE AT, SO YOU WERE THE MAIN ATTRACTION.
I THINK IT WAS 26.
>> Stephen: 26.
SO YOU'RE AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.
YOU'RE THE HOST.
NONE OF US STARTED EATING UNTIL YOU SAT DOWN.
>> THAT WAS A MISTAKE, BECAUSE AFTER YOU SAT DOWN, WE HAD TO
GET UP AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH!
( LAUGHTER ) I-- I WAS FAINT BY THE END OF
THE EVENING!
I WAS SUCKING ON BREAD STICKS.
>> BECAUSE POPE RIHANNA TOLD YOU AT THE SOUND OF THE BELLS YOU
HAD TO MOVE, RIGHT?
>> Stephen: YES, RIHANNA-- THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
I'LL SHOW YOU THE PHOTO.
LET ME SHOW YOU SOME PHOTOS OF THE EVENING.
HERE IS ANNA RIGHT THERE, THE HIGH PRIESTESS OF FASHION.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: LOOKING LOVELY.
THE THEME-- WILL YOU TELL THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHAT THE THEME WAS
EVENING WAS AS I SHOW THESE?
>> YES, THE THEME OF THE EXHIBITION IS "HEAVENLY BODIES,"
AND IT'S THE INFLUENCE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, CATHOLIC
IMAGINE EXPAIGZ COSTUME.
RIHANNA-- AS YOU CAN SEE HAVE, HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY SEEN, TOOK
THE THEME EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY AND NAILED IT.
>> Stephen: WHO DO YOU THINK-- WHO DO YOU THINK WORE IT BEST?
WHO DO YOU THINK HAD THE BEST-- I THINK FOR THE MEN--
>> YES, HE WAS IN VERSACE.
MY FAVORITE WAS FATHER JAMES MARTIN.
>> Stephen: JIM MARTIN.
HE'S AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.
HE WAS THERE.
>> HE'S A JESUIT PRIEST WHO WAS ADVISING US ON THE EXHIBITION.
AND HE CAME IN HIS APPROPRIATE ROBES.
AND, APPARENTLY, ALL NIGHT, PEOPLE WERE COMING UP TO HIM AND
SAYING, "I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CAME AS A SEXY PRIEST."
( LAUGHTER ) "AND YOU LOOK SO AUTHENTIC."
SO THAT WAS MY FAVORITE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
( LAUGHTER ) OKAY, SO SEXY PRIEST.
THAT'S JUST IT.
BECAUSE FASHION IS VERY OFTEN SEXY.
HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY BLOW-BACK ABOUT USING CATHOLIC OR PEOPLE
USING CATHOLIC ICONOGRAPHY OR IMAGES ASSOCIATED--
>> NOT AT ALL, ACTUALLY.
>> Stephen: NO ONE HAS BEEN UPSET?
>> NOT AT ALL.
WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE VATICAN THROUGH THE WHOLE
PROCESS AND CARDINAL DOLAN, AS I BELIEVE YOU KNOW, WAS ONE OF OUR
GUESTES OF HONOR -- >> Stephen: HE WAS THERE.
HE LOOKED FABULOUS!
>> HE WAS THERE -- >> Stephen: AMAZING!
>> ALTHOUGH HE DOESN'TED ME.
HE PROGRAMMED ME HE WAS GOING TO WEAR HIS RED CAPE, AND HE LEFT
THAT AT HOME.
>> Stephen: THEY HAVE THE BIG SCARPET CAPE.
>> AND HE DIDN'T THINK HE GOT ENOUGH TO EAT.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: THERE WERE SOME OTHER REALLY BEAUTIFUL OUTFITS
THAT NIGHT THEY JUST REALLY ENJOYED.
DID YOU LIKE WHAT MADONNA WAS WEARING?
>> I DID, I DID.
SHE WAS IN JOHN PAUL GAUTIER.
LOOKING TRADITIONALLY MADONNA.
>> Stephen: SHE HAD A VEIL.
>> AND SHE WAS ACTUALLY THE REASON YOU DIDN'T GET TO EAT
BECAUSE WE WERE RUNNING FROM THE DINNER INTO THE AGREEMENT HALL
TO, GREAT HALL TO HAVE OUR SURPRISE PERFORMANCE, WHICH WAS
MADONNA.
>> Stephen: WITH THE BOWL TOLLS,.
>> MANY MONKS -- >> Stephen: REAL MONKS!
>> MAYBE NOT QUITE AS REAL AS FATHER MARTIN?
>> Stephen: NO.
HERE'S AMAUL CLOONEY.
>> AMAL ARRIVED ON THE RED CARP NET THIS AMAZING DRESS.
RICHARD QUINN-- THAT'S NOT IT.
THAT'S TOM FORD.
BUT SHE WORE THIS INCREDIBLE -- >> Stephen: ARE YOU GOING TO
YELL AT ME FOR THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW?
LAUGH.
>> BUT SHE WORE THIS INCREDIBLE DRESS ON THE RED CARPET THAT WAS
DESIGNED BY A YOUNG BRITISH DESIGNER CALLED RICHARD QUINN.
BUT IT WAS MADE OF TIN FOIL, SO SHE WAS A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED
IT MIGHT RIB DURING THE EVENING SO SHE WENT INTO THE GIFT SHOP
AND CHANGED INTO THIS EXTRAORDINARY TOM FORD DRESS
WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE STAINED GLASS --
>> Stephen: YOU SELL THIS AT THE GIFT SHOP?
( LAUGHTER ) I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ASTRONAUT
ICE CREAM AND PAPERWEIGHTS -- >> ONLY IF YOU'RE AMAL CLOONEY.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OUTFITS THAT WERE LIKE POLITICAL
STATEMENTS.
WE HAD LENA WAIT WHO WORE CAROLINA HERARA, AND L.G.B.Q.
EMPOWERMENT FLAG.
THERE WERE TWO DRESSES THAT STOOD OUT.
MY OWN WIFE THERE, EVY, LOOKING BEAUTIFUL.
( APPLAUSE ) AND SCARLET JOHANNSEN HERE WEAR
AGO IS IT MAR CAIZA.
>> MAR CAIZA,.
>> Stephen: ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL NOT SO MUCH WITH THE
THEME OF THE, BUT SHE WORE IT AS A STATEMENT THAT HARVEY
WEINSTEIN'S WIFE, WHO IS A PARTNERSHIP IN THIS COMPANY,
SHOULDN'T BE PUNISHED FOR THE SINS OF HER HUSBAND.
>> I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT.
GEORGINA IS A BRILLIANT DESIGNER AND I DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD BE
BLAMED FOR HER HUSBAND'S BEHAVIOR, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A
GREAT GESTURE OF SUPPORT ON SCARLET'S PART TO WEAR A DRESS
LIKE THAT, A BEAUTIFUL DRESS LIKE THAT ON SUCH A PUBLIC
OCCASION.
>> Stephen: IT WAS A LOVELY EVENING.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR INVITING ME AND EVY.
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING.
>> Stephen: DON'T GO AWAY, BECAUSE WE SHOT A LITTLE PIECE
BACKSTAGE AT THE RESTORATION LAB AT THE COSTUME INSTITUTE OF THE
MET.
AND WE WANT TO SHOW THAT TO YOU WHEN WE COME BACK.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE ANNA WINTOUR, EVERYBODY.
