Hey, let's go!
You look incredible.
Hi, Vogue.
I'm Rina Sawayama.
Come on in. Come get ready with me.
I'm ready.
Today, we have the Balenciaga couture show.
I'm so excited about it.
The outfit is pretty slick and all black,
so I wanted to go for something fun and weird
for the makeup and hair.
We're going to block out the brows
and then draw on a really skinny, thin brow
to make it very dramatic.
And I'm going to do a really intense ombré, black lip.
I think we just really want to kind of transform the face
and have different points of difference above the glasses,
just to create a new character.
It's actually a glue stick, that you use in school.
It's such a good way to block down the brows
because it's water-soluble.
So, you can just remove it really easily with water.
Some people use Spirit Gum, right?
Yeah, or special effects glue, which does work well also,
but it's very hard to get off.
So actually, a glue stick, child-friendly, is actually the nicest thing to use.
I feel like with Balenciaga, there are two schools of thought.
People go really glam or they go really weird.
And I kind of want to go a bit weird today.
It's my first Balenciaga show, do I go the glamour way, or…
I felt like I'm weird.
The first thing I do when I get to Paris
is I always search for a vegan croissant
because I'm lactose intolerant and it's very sad.
What was the shop again Josh ordered at?
Cloud Cafe.
By the way, I forgot to introduce my lovely makeup artist, Mona.
Hello.
- And my hair stylist, Jake. - Hello.
Both really nice people.
What am I expecting from the Balenciaga show?
I've heard some little rumors
that there's going to be some amazing people walking it.
I've heard of a Miss Kardashian.
I've heard of maybe Nicole Kidman.
I don't know.
It sounds too major to be true.
But I hope it's true.
I feel really excited
and I also feel a little bit anxious.
It doesn't come naturally to me to talk to people I don't know
or be in a big crowd.
So, I always have to muster up the courage inside me
to be fun and engaging, and social.
The funny thing about the shy versus mysterious thing,
is I used to always think people were really cool because they're mysterious.
But what I've learned is that most mysterious people are just shy.
But usually, when I have a face on and I have my hair on
and my clothes on,
I feel pretty invincible, to be honest.
Now I'm going to get changed in the bathroom.
Here we are.
What do we think?
It's so comfortable,
which I love.
I'm gonna be seated for a long time, and there's nothing constricting here.
I don't know if the venue is going to be cold.
I'm pretty sure it's going to be very hot because it's a very nice, sunny day today.
Balenciaga, to me, is very alien.
It's existing and not existing.
It's the juxtaposition of form-fitting and very baggy.
That's…
That's amazing. Objet d'art.
Objet d'art.
Do you say the T at the end?
- No. - No. Objet d'art.
Hey, let's go!
My French fantasy?
This is my French fantasy!
It's Fashion Week.
This makes me more nervous than doing a show to thousands of people.
Hi! How are you?
(I need) the aerodynamic, I need some air.
It's the couture salon.
It's going to be so great, and it's so small as well.
Hey, how are you? You look gorgeous.
Thank you, and so do you, you look incredible.
Absolutely.
I'm paying homage to icon living legend Jocelyn Wildenstein.
It's really nice being here and paying homage to a woman that means so much to me
and has inspired many that have come after.
I'm so excited, very excited to see it.
I'm feeling very excited.
Also, it's very hot.
It's very hot!
Goodbye Vogue, the show is about to start.
Thank you so much for getting ready with me.
And see you soon!
