00:42 Well, I think it's going to be very, again, soft, flowy prints.
00:48 I'm seeing a lot of prints still in New York and in all the windows.
00:51 Prints, soft, flowery prints.
00:54 So I think it's soft colors and muted colors.
00:56 They're calling them in New York cloud colors, softer colors.
01:00 We saw that vintage ballerina first.
01:03 Now we take a look at something that's very, very ultra-modern.
01:06 This was designed just for our runway this morning
01:09 and just constructed by Tom and Linda Platt.
01:12 It's one of those elegant, shapely, mermaid kind of gowns.
01:17 Well, I think this year you're going to see more colors in general.
01:20 You know, I personally like to see in the Oscars my favorite colors,
01:25 which is those pale, sophisticated tones that are so glamorous for the Oscars.
01:32 [crowd noise]
01:40 Wow, it's spectacular, right?
01:42 It's beautiful, huh?
01:43 I knew it was going to be great.
01:45 [laughter]
01:46 No, no, I don't.
01:48 [crowd noise]
02:00 Got off on a Sunday night?
02:02 Yeah, I was in Palm Springs.
02:04 [crowd noise]
02:19 Pretty good?
02:20 Yeah.
02:21 Okay.
02:22 [crowd noise]
02:50 That's what we're all here for.
02:52 Self-expression is really big this year.
02:55 Although we're seeing beautiful, classical, feminine, glamorous looks,
03:00 it's all various interpretations of glamour.
03:04 There's no single trend.
03:06 We're seeing everything from very traditional, classical jewelry
03:11 to unusual colors, not just red rubies and blue sapphires,
03:17 but also an interest in bright, vibrant pink sapphires,
03:20 an interest in cool, icy aquamarines like you see up there,
03:25 chalcedony, which is a very pale pink stone.
03:29 So really, in terms of diamond jewelry and fashion,
03:32 we're seeing more and more a desire for people to stand out through their use of color.
03:37 [crowd noise]
03:45 The Oscar red carpet is the ultimate princess moment for these actresses.
03:48 The eyes of the world are watching.
03:50 This is the moment to shine, and there is no better way to do that than with diamonds.
03:54 Diamonds really scream luxury.
03:56 They scream glamour, but yet they're sophisticated, they're elegant,
04:00 and they're perfect for Oscar night.
04:02 [crowd noise]
04:11 I'm holding here the hottest camera in the world.
04:14 It is the Kodak EZShare V570 dual lens camera.
04:18 It is encrusted with two carats of Cuiat diamonds.
04:21 These are the gifts that Cuiat and Kodak are giving to the nominees
04:25 in the Best Actress category this year.
04:27 And you are looking at Reese Witherspoon's camera.
04:30 This is the hottest gift valued at $20,000.
04:33 [crowd noise]
04:42 Dual lens.
04:44 [crowd noise]
05:05 I've identified three really strong looks for the red carpet this season.
05:09 One of my favorite looks is sort of the 1940s retro glamour,
05:13 but it's really modernized. It's brought up to date.
05:15 We're going to see sort of maybe a really shimmery eye, a very soft cheek, and a red lip.
05:21 So a red lip to go with the red carpet.
05:23 Then we're also seeing what I'm calling the runway to the red carpet look.
05:27 So straight off the runways of Paris, Milan, New York.
05:30 A smoky eye, something a little bit more sort of romantic and sexy with a new glossy lip.
05:37 And the third look I think we're going to see is Saint-Tropez beauty.
05:40 A lot of really bronzed bathing beauties.
05:43 A lot of chocolates and caramels and golds in the makeup.
05:47 And just really healthy and beautiful.
05:49 [crowd noise]
05:56 Lips will be extremely moist.
06:00 And fat.
06:01 You know, seriously, this is the year of the fat lip.
06:04 Of the lip enhancers, of lip injections, of those kind of things.
06:11 You're really going to see an emphasis on lips.
06:13 [crowd noise]
06:32 You know, I think first of all it's so exciting to have this whole Oscar moment.
06:37 And I would say that we're going to see a lot of great glamorous, sexy, and romantic hair.
06:45 Which means it's elegant, it's soft, it's done, but it's not overdone.
06:50 So we will see some hair up with some soft wave.
06:53 And the hair with a little updo, but deconstructed.
06:59 Not too stiff.
07:01 And this is very important.
07:02 But a lot of hair up, a lot of hair with a soft wave.
07:06 It's not about hair that is straight, flat, with a flat iron.
07:10 It's more with the hair with texture and movement.
07:13 Enhancing the silhouette.
07:14 It's glamorous.
07:15 It's going to be great on actresses like Charlize Theron and Keira Knightley and Reese Witherspoon.
07:21 And you know, all of them.
07:23 They're going to look really beautiful, feminine, but without trying too hard.
07:28 [Indistinct chatter]
07:42 So one of the hottest looks that I'm going to be showcasing this year for the Oscars is the ponytail.
07:47 But it's not your simple go out to the gym ponytail.
07:50 It's ready for the red carpet.
07:52 So I'm adding a modern twist to it.
07:55 We're adding some jewels and some diamonds.
07:58 Just enough to accessorize and bring the whole gown and your diamonds that you're wearing into your hairstyle.
08:04 So it looks amazing.
08:06 [Indistinct chatter]
08:11 I was--oh my God.
08:14 Today, this morning, I woke up like at 9, 10.
08:16 And I had my breakfast.
08:19 And I thought I was not going to eat anything because I was going to be, you know, very nervous.
08:24 But, so I ate.
08:26 And then I took a shower, and then the hair and makeup came.
08:28 And I was reading, and I read a lot.
08:30 And it was fantastic.
