Transcript

Cara Delevingne is here.

I'm so excited to see you.

I met Cara as a wee teenager

and I watched her grow into being

an ultimate Karl Lagerfeld muse.

It's a big night tonight. Yeah.

It is a big night. Yeah.

A lot of emotions.

Honestly, I cried on the way here a little bit.

I don't know.

It's kinda like it's a wonderful thing to be able to do this

and honor such an incredible person,

not only in fashion but personally as a friend.

I owe him so much and it's an amazing way to remember him.

Yeah.

I imagine your look tonight is inspired by Karl himself.

Can you walk me through it? Yeah.

So this is like his iconic white shirts

and a lot of Chrome Heart's jewelry.

This is by Karl Lagerfeld.

It just felt right.

But yeah, the gloves, everything.

All the pieces that kind of make me. Yeah.

And just some kind of silvery, silvery blue hair.

And you came in sunglasses.

I did, yeah.

I'm going wear those in the-

On the carpet?

Yeah, a little bit.

Whip on and whip them off.

This is the dumbest question but I'm so sorry.

I have to ask it.

Double down on it.

Cara Karl.

Was that ever hard or confusing?

Cara Karl.

Cara Karl.

Cara Karl.

No. People just call me Carla by the end.

Carla.

That's what I would do too.

Carla.

One of my favorite Cara Delevingne moments

in the world of Chanel was the supermarket show.

Yeah, my favorite.

Do you remember Rihanna

was push pushing you around in a shopping cart?

I was pushing her around.

Oh, excuse me.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you for fact checking me.

Oh no, she was-

I think she was pushing-

No, we were both in it.

Joan was pushing us around.

Joan Smalls was pushing you around

and I'm sure the internet will correct all of us.

I stole so much-

can I say that?

I stole so much from that supermarket.

They had like a Chanel chainsaw.

Anyway, I don't steal things.

[Cara laughs]

Well, that's my favorite supermarket experience.

Thanks Karl.

Do you have a favorite Chanel memory?

There was so many.

I think doing a show in Edinburgh. We went to Japan.

We went all around the world.

But honestly, he's like looking into the future.

He really did so many things.

We did this amazing women's march

and I think also this one of his last shows that we did

and it was like at the ski chalet

and all the girls were all crying and holding hands

and it just felt like such a moment

but he is one of those people that

no matter where he is, he's always there.

You may see him on the carpet tonight.

Oooh.

Oooh.

I hope so.

[Cara laughs]

Deep thoughts with Cara Delevingne.

Yeah.

But like, he lives on.

Look at, look at everything.

Like he's influenced so much.

Not only in fashion, so.

Well you're going love the exhibit tonight.

Yes. It's all Karl, all the time.

And I'm happy to see you.

Lovely to be with you, Carla.

Carla. Carla.

[Cara laughs]
