It is a great honor of mine to be joined by,

with Anne Hathaway.

I'm at a loss of words,

and I'm drunk in your presence. [laughs]

You look stunning.

And you recently became the face of Versace.

How do you guys work together on these looks?

Oh, you're giving me too much credit.

I just do what Donatella tells me to do

very gratefully, very gratefully.

She sent me a sketch for this,

and I just went, Well, all right. [laughs]

But I do have to say,

I work with an amazing team.

My stylist Erin Walsh,

she always puts everything together.

So it's really her that does the collaboration.

I'm just a lucky girl.

[Derek] I'm seeing a lot of Karl homages here.

There's the tweed.

I see a camellia, like on my lapel.

But also, a little nod to Versace in the safety pins.

Absolutely, and I have to give a shout out

to my hair stylist Orlando Pita.

He brought a camellia from a Versace show in the '90s.

[Derek] Can we get that?

This is the first time we've seen a vintage piece,

hairpiece. Vintage hairpiece.

We've seen some vintage Chanel pieces.

All right, I'm the first one.

[Derek] But not a lot of vintage hairpieces.

Leave it to Anne Hathaway.

Well, Orlando Pita, definitely.

The two of you together.

That casual icon.

Yes.

But yeah, I think this was meant to be a marriage

between Versace and Chanel.

Anne, when you came into the shot here,

you said that there's a certain way

that you can pose in this dress.

[Anne] I did.

You're gonna make me say it right now.

[Derek] Yes, I wanna know.

There's just something about this dress

that makes you wanna hit it.

Just wanna hit it.

Get a little Rosalia going on in her head,

and just live in a fantasy.

[crowd cheering]

Did I do it right?

Yeah, yeah.

Let me see.

Heck yeah.

Okay.

Come on.

All right, here we go.

I'll just leave, guys, great.

No, come back.

[Derek] Thanks, Anne Hathaway.

Well, thank you so much,

and we look forward to seeing you in there.

Have so much fun.

Derek, I love you.

We'll see you inside.
