[knock on door]
- Hello, Vogue.
I am Kaya Scodelario.
Welcome to my suite.
I'm just getting ready for the British Fashion Awards.
Come on in.
[upbeat classical music]
This is my gorgeous dress by Bora Aksu.
I'm going with pregnant Nutcracker vibes,
as you can see.
I didn't want to do a stereotypical maternity dress.
I thought that would be, I mean,
definitely not for the British Fashion Awards.
I wanted something fun and edgy.
Kate Moss is my idol, so I kind of tried to imagine
what she would wear pregnant to the Fashion Awards.
We have the dreamiest, sparkliest shoes in the world.
My mom had a heart attack when I showed her the shoes
I was wearing tonight,
but I'm very confident in them and I'm sure I'll be fine.
Cut to pictures of me on my ass on the red carpet.
[Kaya laughs]
So I'm hoping that I don't go into labor, but if I do,
it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world
to turn up in full glam to the labor ward.
Could be tonight, my husband is waiting in the car
with the hospital bags, just in case,
but I'm feeling, I'm squeezing her in for tonight.
We are at Claridge's Hotel in London,
one of my favorite hotels in the world,
and we have two and a half hours to get ready
for the British Fashion Awards.
This is lovely Gina.
She's from Manchester. - Hello.
[Both laughing]
- This is Eamon, he's a scouse.
[all laugh]
- It's a northern team.
And so far I'm getting my legs greased up
because it's very, very cold tonight.
And I'm pretty sure they're gonna turn blue
at some point,
but that could be a look, let's go with it.
All the movies I do seem to shoot
in the middle of the night in winter anyway.
So I'm very well-prepared.
I have very thick skin.
I think I'm excited to see the new talent emerging.
I love the British fashion scene, I always have.
It's where I came up.
I started going to the shows when I was very young
and I've seen incredible stylists and designers
sort of build their brands over the years.
So I think it's always kind of magical
to get to watch them be celebrated
and have a night dedicated to them.
I also feel like it's gonna be quite fun.
There'll be lots of people
that I haven't seen for a long time
and just have a really fun evening.
So the Baftas, I think, was the very first one.
And we were very, very unprepared because we basically,
it was before Twitter and Instagram.
So we couldn't really gauge how popular the show was.
We didn't know how popular it was,
internationally especially.
And our category was the only one voted for by the public.
This is for "Skins."
And so we went very naively.
The producers were with us.
They were literally like, look,
there's no way we're gonna win.
Just have a nice night, have some champagne,
even though you're under age,
which was great because there was no pressure.
I was wearing a gorgeous,
I believe it was Matthew Williamson dress,
that was sparkly and silver again.
Maybe that's my thing?
And when they announced that we'd won,
we were so unprepared and terrified
that they pushed me to be the one to speak,
which is ridiculous 'cause I think I was 16. [Kaya laughs]
And it was really lovely.
It was the first time that we could gauge
how popular "Skins" was worldwide
and how much it meant to a whole generation of people.
The British ones are fun.
There's more booze for sure, but I can't drink tonight.
So, will be my first sober awards show.
I was thinking about it the other day.
I've had to learn how to ice skate,
professionally swim, horse ride, shoot a gun,
like a bunch of just random skills
that you would never normally learn in life.
And that's a really cool part of it,
that I've gotten to meet these incredible coaches,
and they've been very disappointed in me.
But yeah, it's really quite cool
how many weird little skills and things
I know how to do now, but not very well.
A lot of it's camera trickery.
It's not me.
I love work. I've always been very hardworking.
My mom's an immigrant and I think
that gives you a certain mentality.
I don't like to complain, I don't.
I like the hustle. I like pushing myself.
I like getting something done.
I think it's such a collaborative job
and that's one of the best bits of it,
that all these people come together
with different skills and they make this bit of art
at the end of it.
And then they give it to the world
and it doesn't belong to them anymore.
I think that's quite magical.
We're nearly at the end,
we've got 30 minutes left to go.
Doing the final little bits.
And feeling really good, loving what they've done.
It's always fun to get to see it in real life,
as when I was a kid, I would watch the Met Gala every year
and it was my favorite event because of the clothes
and the theater of it all.
But seeing it kind of in person,
you can really see the details and the shape
and how it moves.
It has always fascinated me,
so I'm very excited to see what everyone's wearing.
Gonna go get my dress on now,
and then we will do final touches afterwards.
We can see how it looks with the makeup and the hair
and we can make sure everything's perfect.
[heels clanking on wood]
I'm all dressed. I'm ready.
And now for the most important part, beautiful jewels.
[upbeat classical music]
Beautiful.
Time to go.
We're all ready, we're all dressed,
we're jeweled up. Let's go.
Thank you.
[car engine running]
[exhales heavily]
This bit's always scary.
Oh, don't leave me, [Kaya laughs]
