Mary Elizabeth
Hi, friend.
Chase Stokes
It's your inner child calling and they.
Mary Elizabeth
Want churros, a new toy and a new adventure. Or maybe five with the bestest besties on earth. Your moment at Walt Disney World Resort.
Rachel Zoe
Hi, everyone, I'm Rachel Zo and you're listening to Climbing in Heels for your weekly dose of glamour, inspiration and fun. We are doing a special early release episode this week to talk about all the fashion for music's biggest night, the Grammys. From sleek and sexy to whimsical and over the top, we're breaking down all the looks. Here to help is my producer you all know and love, Mary Elizabeth. So let's jump right in.
Mary Elizabeth
Music's biggest night, the Grammys. I think we should kick this off by being really honest.
Rachel Zoe
I think we're. That scares me. What do you mean?
Mary Elizabeth
Let's be real.
Rachel Zoe
You want my opinion?
Mary Elizabeth
You're on a real honesty kick lately with the way we've been recording. But I will say the Grammys, typically for you, is not your favorite carpet of the year.
Rachel Zoe
It's not. And, you know, listen, I started my career in music, right? Like, I started my career.
Mary Elizabeth
I think it's ptsd. But you typically. You typically don't have the most. You don't typically talk a lot about the Grammys red carpet.
Rachel Zoe
Year over year.
Mary Elizabeth
However, the pop girlies in the music industry have, like, taken over, and it's such a moment for all the females that we would be remiss not to talk about just the sheer girl power happening in the music biz. So to kick things off, I think we should talk about queen bee.
Rachel Zoe
Listen, I am a huge Beyonce fan. It's funny because my kids are always like, mom, like, besides Stevie Nicks, like, what? Like, what do you love? Like, what kind of female vocalist? Like, da, da, da. Or like, what kind of female singer? And I'm like, beyonce. And I remember it was like, two years ago, maybe. Yeah, two years ago. Kais goes, mom, which one is Beyonce again? I almost, like, crashed my car.
Mary Elizabeth
You were like, how does he not know?
Rachel Zoe
Well, I was like, I don't understand that. She's, like, in every part of my being. Her voice just really. Anyway, so this gave me. This look gave me. I mean, in full disclosure, because we're talking honesty. Right. I think the hair was a little blonde, in my opinion here. But again, I think, like, these different rules apply with Beyonce. Like, things that I would maybe say, like, it's not. It's not. Like, that's not what I would have done for a client or whatever. But then, like, she'll get on stage. I'll be like, okay, it works.
Mary Elizabeth
She's in custom schiaparelli. It fits her body beautifully.
Rachel Zoe
Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
The blonde hair is part of, like, the cowboy Carter era. Like, she does do the blonde for the country album.
Rachel Zoe
That's the whole thing right now.
Mary Elizabeth
She finally won album of the year.
Rachel Zoe
Yes. Well, I kind of. It feels like it was a month ago that that whole thing happened where Jay got very unthe the Grammys last year. Yeah. Which feels like a month ago.
Mary Elizabeth
It does. Time is flying. He basically said she's won the most Grammys of anyone ever and but has not won album of the year. So this year, she took it home. It's amazing. I also want to point out, I don't know if anybody else really noticed this, but Beyonce did have a slight wardrobe malfunction in the get own Is that an areola? So it's not an Ariela. Thank God.
Rachel Zoe
Okay.
Mary Elizabeth
But it looked like the underwire in the dress poked out in the center of her chest. But when she came back on stage.
Rachel Zoe
To win, it was fixed.
Mary Elizabeth
It was fixed. So there was definitely some sort of tailor in the back stitching that out. But every girl, every female knows that uncomfortable feeling of the underwire of your bra poking through, stabbing you in the boob.
Rachel Zoe
And that is actually why I don't wear underwires. Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
So shout out to Beyonce for getting stabbed in the boobs and still winning Grammys. She really can do it all.
Rachel Zoe
This woman has deserved to win album of the year at some point over the course of her for sure career.
Mary Elizabeth
So she won best country album and album of the year.
Rachel Zoe
Right.
Mary Elizabeth
And I think, you know, you and I were talking briefly. It feels like that sort of Leonardo DiCaprio moment that the girl needs to.
Rachel Zoe
Win this award for.
Mary Elizabeth
Sure. Like, best actor finally came when he did the movie the Revenant. Was the Revenant the best one of his whole career? I don't know. That's up for debate. But, like, it definitely felt time that she was given the best album of the year because, my God, she's been around and relevant for a long time now.
Rachel Zoe
Okay, can I just say, for me, there was a hands down winner of best dressed. Kelsey Ballerini and Kelsea Ballerini. I have to say I've had the good fortune of meeting her on many occasions. She is one of the loveliest, sweetest, kindest women out there in this business. And you know, when you look at her, you're like, oh, she looks like she would be nice. She is so sweet and so talented. I loved this look. I really did. I felt like it was so Grammy appropriate.
Mary Elizabeth
It was.
Rachel Zoe
It did all the things that everyone wants to see on a red carpet at the Grammys, which is like a gorgeous, like, beaded, some skin showing, but she kept it polished and dare I say, classy. I loved the hair. Chris Appleton did the hair.
Mary Elizabeth
Chris Appleton. And she was in Tamara Ralph.
Rachel Zoe
And Tamara Ralph, who I have to say, also hands down, one of my absolute favorite designers. I mean, I just recently watched the new couture Tamara Ralph shows. And honestly, each look is more extraordinary than the next. So I expect to see a lot at the Oscars. A lot at the Oscars. But I will say she is becoming more and more known for this, like, really big party on, you know, in the dress and then like this gorgeous cape on, you know, on the outside, and I think you can take it on and off. But I felt. I felt this look was very youthful. It was elegant. I thought the hair and makeup were spot on. The jewelry styled by Rob and Muriel, who are friends, and I love them. And I just. I loved this on her. One of my favorite looks that she's worn. Yeah, I. I really did love it. And she looks so happy. And she's with her cutie boyfriend.
Mary Elizabeth
That's what I was going to say. You can tell. I feel like you can tell when people are, like, happy within because she's, like, shining in a different way.
Rachel Zoe
And if any of you have teenagers or you're an adult that watches teenage shows, you may know her boyfriend. John B. Chase Stokes. Chase Stokes. Sorry, Chase Stokes. But John, character. John B. Rutledge from Outer Banks.
Mary Elizabeth
Yes. She looks stunning. And this is the hair I'm always trying to convince you to do.
Rachel Zoe
And I have done quite a bit. I just haven't done it in a beat.
Mary Elizabeth
I know. Everyone help me convince Rachel to do the side part again. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
Rachel Zoe
I need some more confidence.
Mary Elizabeth
Another doll of pop music who.
Rachel Zoe
Literal doll.
Mary Elizabeth
Literal doll. Sabrina Carpenter.
Rachel Zoe
Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
Her album won for best pop album. She did a performance that was hilariously cute and funny. I just am obsessed with her. She doesn't take herself too seriously. She doesn't take anything too seriously.
Rachel Zoe
She is giving me that Goldie Hawn, like, 70s Goldie Hawn thing, 100%. Even. Even. Even today Goldie Hawn thing where she just, like, gets up and she's so cute and she's the bangs and the hair.
Mary Elizabeth
She's fun and funny, but very well spoken, very smart, obviously very talented. But I just love her approach to fashion and her music is very, like, fun. And she was wearing a beautiful J.W. anderson.
Rachel Zoe
I really, I have to say, I really loved this look. I really did love this look. I probably would have liked the hair maybe, like, sleeker and up with this, you know, just kind of. Because the dress is so much. And it's doing the feather thing at the peplum and the base, and I loved it. And then of course, she did my. Can I take credit for that styling? Yeah. The Chopard diamond thrown behind her a la Jennifer Lawrence at the 2013 Oscars or Kate Hudson at the. I don't even know what year SAG awards in her Peter Dundas Pucci gown with. I think it was a Cartier Tiffany something or Fred Leighton. I literally can't remember. I have to look at it dangling down her back. I love a back jewel.
Mary Elizabeth
Oh, it's so good. It's so good. And not enough people do it, I feel like. But Chopard diamonds, they wove it through the dress to make the dress a halter style. I think it was. I think the chain alone is like 19 carats worth of diamonds.
Rachel Zoe
Oh, forget it. Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
And then the diamond on the bottom.
Rachel Zoe
Is like 50 characters, like heart of the Ocean.
Mary Elizabeth
It's crazy. It's insane. But she just looked young and fresh and playful like she is. And then she changed into a Versace. It was like a. It was almost like a brownish gold.
Rachel Zoe
It looks Gianni Versace. It looks vintage.
Mary Elizabeth
So good, so pretty on her. When she won her award. So she looked very sleek.
Rachel Zoe
Can I say one thing that I've noticed? A lot of these women are getting out of sprinter vans, and I just want to, like, sort of feel a little bad for myself for a moment, if you don't mind. Because one of the biggest challenges of my career was spending hours and hours and days and days in fittings for these gowns and then having to smush my clients into the backseat of, like, an SUV that had literally a half a foot of legroom. And I very clearly remember putting Jennifer Lawrence on the day of the Oscars in 2013 in her driveway and me talking to the driver in advance and being like, if I put all the seats down and I put her in the back and she lay flat until she gets to the theater because.
Mary Elizabeth
Do we have a gurney we could lay?
Rachel Zoe
No, actually, I would have. I would have absolutely flatbedded, like, put them on a gurney, on a helicopter and landed in at the show to avoid any wrinkle. What happens? I know for an hour long traffic car ride from, you know, when they leave the house, the venue, and it's so sad. And now they have on the carpet floofers, the people that floof trains.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
Have you watched these floofers? Yeah, we did not have floofers.
Mary Elizabeth
I feel like some people bring their own team.
Rachel Zoe
They do. They do.
Mary Elizabeth
Like, I think Sabrina actually had a guy that was helping her. He was picking up the bottom of the dress and moving her, but he had, like, a baby blue silk tie on to go with her dress. So I feel like that is. That is a more prevalent thing. And it's not just people's publicists trying to.
Rachel Zoe
No, no, no, no, no. I mean, if I could have jumped in the car every time my client left, I would have done that. We were not allowed. And I'm here to Say that whoever decided that there should be professional floofers on the carpets, fixing people's trains and dresses so they sit properly for photos. I applaud you. I wish you were around when I started. Where have you been? And this idea was brilliant and considerate, and I'm almost wondering if it was like. If it was like a band of stylists coming together to be like, either let us on the carpet or have professionals there to floof trains.
Mary Elizabeth
I mean, it is help us help you get the great picture, right?
Rachel Zoe
Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
We're a team here.
Rachel Zoe
Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
Okay, Moving on to another pop princess. My fave, T. Swift. Taylor Swift.
Rachel Zoe
Okay. See, again, I love Taylor Swift. She has a thing like Beyonce. Like, it may not be my all time. Like, she killed it. Listen, she looks great. She looks great. She is obviously in her. I am. What's the word?
Mary Elizabeth
Pulling for the Chiefs to win the super bowl, right?
Rachel Zoe
Like, I'm gonna wear red. And I mean, listen, her signature is always the lip, right? But, like, obviously the red and the red and the red and the red, that's saying I love him. I did notice her Lorraine Schwartz dangling red tee, which one may say is for Taylor Swift. And one may say it's for Travis. Right?
Mary Elizabeth
We will never know.
Rachel Zoe
We will never know. But I do secretly wish she was in, like, a big moment, you know? But she's also, I think, feeling her like, I just finished the longest horn music history, and I now just want to have, like, my legs out. I want to, like, walk a carpet and not do a show tonight. And you know.
Mary Elizabeth
You know what? And look, hats off. She deserves it. If you watch the Grammys, you also saw Taylor had a great time. She was drinking champagne.
Rachel Zoe
She was like, she's in her eyes, dancing around.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah, she was having a great time. So I. I totally agree.
Rachel Zoe
Didn't she win a bunch?
Mary Elizabeth
She did not win nothing. She actually did not win anything.
Rachel Zoe
How many was she nominated for?
Mary Elizabeth
I believe she was nominated for six Grammys this year.
Rachel Zoe
But didn't she win, like, 80 last year? Yeah, I get confused, like, with. It's the same with actors. Like, you know, how you forget what year their movie was? Because if it was like, if it was, it came out in January and then the Oscars were like, like, wait, when was that?
Mary Elizabeth
100%.
Rachel Zoe
I feel like she's been on tour for more than half my life.
Mary Elizabeth
I mean, the eras tour was like two. Almost two years long. It's just insane. I mean, it's the highest grossing world tour any artist has ever done. So Wear your chief's red sparkly dress. Wear your.
Rachel Zoe
She can do no thigh necklace. You do.
Mary Elizabeth
You ever seen a thigh necklace in your life?
Rachel Zoe
I've seen everything. Have you? Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
I've seen, like, the belly chain. The. I've just never seen a piece of jewelry worn this way. I was like, that's cool. Different, new.
Rachel Zoe
I wore one at my bat mitzvah under my dress. You did? I did. My really hot boyfriend.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah. Her mind is ready to be in New Orleans at that Super Bowl.
Rachel Zoe
I want to, I want to do a few little pops of highlights, and I want to take the bangs, like, a little. I want to, I want to shag them a little bit. The bangs, you know, blend the bang a little. Yeah, like, I'd like to have, like a, Like a, Like a. Whose bangs. Like a Sienna Miller bang. Like, when Sienna Miller had bangs, you know, like the.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah, I get you.
Rachel Zoe
But it, but again, it's her signature, so she's the queen. Okay. I loved Olivia Rodrigo.
Mary Elizabeth
Yes. We had a, we had some, Some red carpet standouts that were in black sexy gowns.
Rachel Zoe
I, I, I believe, if I remember correctly, Olivia Rodrigo, that was a Gianni Versace dress. That was a vintage Gianni Versace dress. And, I mean, and you know that. You just know that by how it's cut and how it fits. And I am fortunate to say that I have worked with probably more vintage Versace in my career than, you know, and they are pieces of work. Like, that may look like a simple cutout black dress to you, but I promise you, the way that that gown is constructed, what's happening underneath? My guess is there's a bodysuit underneath so that it holds perfectly. And, you know, she looked flawless. I loved the hair and makeup. She did, like, a very, like, she did, like, a Cindy Crawford 90s superm model vibe here.
Mary Elizabeth
Like a supermodel.
Rachel Zoe
Right. I'm so into it. So I loved this look. It was sexy and simple.
Mary Elizabeth
I'm always shocked that there's not more Versace on the carpet for the grammys. Ever since JLo's epic Versace plunging. That moment that happened in, like, the early 2000s.
Rachel Zoe
Well, there typically is. Honestly, there. There typically is a lot of Versace on a Grammy carpet. Like, I think the Grammys does speak, you know, and in the day, there was a ton of Cavalli.
Mary Elizabeth
Right?
Rachel Zoe
There's a ton of Cavalli, a ton of Versace, a ton of Dolce and Gabbana. I think it's a couple of things. I think there's A lot of new designers out there that are taking over the red carpet in many ways. A lot of new couture designers.
Mary Elizabeth
Right.
Rachel Zoe
And I'll also say that, like, I think with the skin baring era that we've been in for the last couple of years, you know, I think. I think all bets are off. But to your point, no one does that better than Versace. But I think. I think Versace is going through a lot as a brand right now with different ownerships and things like that. So I. I think there's probably less because I've seen it where there was 10 people in Versace. But I also think that I know from my styling days, we used to try and weigh in on how many people wore one designer.
Mary Elizabeth
Right.
Rachel Zoe
So if I was putting someone in Valentino or if someone was doing Chanel, you would ask the house to say, like, can we. How many people are you doing? Right.
Mary Elizabeth
You don't want, like, a monopoly of.
Rachel Zoe
Right.
Mary Elizabeth
Because that's not cool.
Rachel Zoe
No, no. You don't want to be, like, a number. Oh, she was also in Valentino.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah. That. That gets a little. I'm sure.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
Not great.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
Miley Cyrus was also in Black cut out.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
Leather.
Rachel Zoe
Yep. Miley's also in her I'm here era.
Mary Elizabeth
I'm obsessed.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah. She's so. I'm so Miley Cyrus obsessed right now.
Mary Elizabeth
Do you remember last year she was in Bob Mackie and she just looked amazing and.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah. Killed it.
Mary Elizabeth
I just think she. She's just here for the long haul. Miley, by the way, I love her better than ever. Like, literally, she's just cool and consistently, like, awesome. And she's working with St. Laurent a lot, it seems, and I feel like it's just like a match made in heaven.
Rachel Zoe
I agree. I was into this look. I really liked it. I thought she looked sleek and chic.
Mary Elizabeth
Yes.
Rachel Zoe
You know, and again, like, I think everyone wants to bare all at Grammys. It has always been that way.
Mary Elizabeth
Yes.
Rachel Zoe
Borderline costume, you know, and it still does. And I think that it is a great form for self expression, the Grammys, because I think there's just different rules that apply to the carpet at the Grammys. Yes. But I also. There was this great piece of hardware on the back of her leather dress that I thought was super chic, but she just looked cool. She gave me that, like, Zoe Kravitz vibe.
Mary Elizabeth
100%.
Rachel Zoe
Right. Like, which is what Saint Laurent is. You know, it's. It's turned into a very.
Mary Elizabeth
They're like the Muses of St. Laurent, correct? I would say.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
Speaking of nude, Siriano did, like, a sheer, structured dress for Chrissy Teigen. She looks obviously amazing.
Rachel Zoe
The funniest thing about Chrissy Teigen is that she is the funniest thing I know. And so the thing is, because I happen to know her personally, when I look at her on a carpet, and I know what's going through her head right now as she stands there. And I think we all probably saw as she walked in, she was, like, tripping over the thing and she could barely walk. And then John was, like, carrying her, and then she tripped and almost fell. She was basically naked under there, by the way, I think very strategically placed boning. And panels. Yeah, and panels. And, you know, she looks amazing.
Mary Elizabeth
What do you think of the hair?
Rachel Zoe
I love her hair. I think. I think that with this look, I would only say that she could do what she did or put it in, like, a sleek bun, you know, like a sleek. Just totally back. And she's gorgeous. And you could tell she, like, you know, she's so smiley and she. You could just tell she's just. I'm telling you, if you could be inside her mind, I can only imagine.
Mary Elizabeth
Like, hilarious, beautiful woman.
Rachel Zoe
She's. I. You know what? I just have so much respect for anyone that just says it.
Mary Elizabeth
Yep.
Rachel Zoe
No matter what they say, I have respect for someone that just says it.
Mary Elizabeth
Just no filter. Yeah.

My dad works in B2B marketing. But I never really knew what that meant. Then one day my dad came by my school for career day and told everyone in my class he was a big Roaz man. Then he just kept saying things like the bigger the roaz the better. Over and over. My friends still laugh at me to this day. I think it means calculating a return on ad spend. One thing is for sure. I'll be known as the Roaz man's kid for the rest of my days. Why couldn't you just be a fireman or a lawyer? Why? You ruined my life, dad.

Matt
The Bachelor Mondays, 8, 7 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu.
Rachel Zoe
Okay. Gracie Abrams. So I fell in love with Gracie Abrams. She Performed at this fashion dinner a couple summers ago. Had no idea who she was.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
Literally, she came on the stage. It was at. I want to say it was at a Chanel dinner. And I just remember saying to my friend, I'm obsessed with her. I love her voice. She is going to be so big. I had no idea who she was. And here we are. She looks like an angel, and I think that's her whole thing. I don't know that it's like, Grammy look.
Mary Elizabeth
Right.
Rachel Zoe
But I think she looks beautiful and chic and elegant and angel.
Mary Elizabeth
Like Chanel whimsy.
Rachel Zoe
A Chanel angel.
Mary Elizabeth
She looks. She looks like herself, too, again. She. She. Her team, whoever it is. It's. It's like looking at this photo, it's like you can hear her music almost like it's so synced into her Persona and how youthful and beautiful and cool. Effortlessly cool she is. Yeah, I love her. I think she's. She's another badass female that I think should be around for a long time.
Rachel Zoe
Oh, I think we're gonna see Gracie Abrams forever.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
I love her voice. Like, I love how she speaks. I love what she says. I love what she does. Kacey Musgraves. Musgraves. Why do I feel like I'm saying it wrong? Musgraves. No.
Mary Elizabeth
Casey Musgraves. That's right.
Matt
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
I love. I mean, obviously, we love Casey. She's. She's a glamour country girl. Like, you know, she idolizes Dolly Parton. She idolizes that, like, country glamour thing. And this. This look for her is really, like, more pared down. It's a more simplified version of some of the stuff we typically see her in. Again, I think that she, herself, her team, whoever's working with this, the album that she's nominated for, Deeper, well, is more pared down, more folky, more.
Rachel Zoe
Which makes sense.
Mary Elizabeth
Which plays into this more simplistic look for her. But, I mean, she's wearing Ralph Lauren gorgeous, gorgeous skirt. You loved this collection.
Rachel Zoe
I did love this collection. I love Ralph Lauren. I only. I think Ralph Lauren's collections have gotten even better with age and time.
Mary Elizabeth
Yes.
Rachel Zoe
You know, I totally agree.
Mary Elizabeth
And she just looked like Casey. Like, threw on a tank top. Threw on a beaded.
Rachel Zoe
Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
Beautiful sequin skirt.
Rachel Zoe
And I can tell you that, babe, that skirt probably weighs 200 pounds.
Mary Elizabeth
Oh, I'm sure.
Rachel Zoe
I'm telling you, I have held those. You need, like, six hangers to hold those skirts.
Mary Elizabeth
It's crazy. It's crazy. It gives me anxiety thinking about hanging that.
Rachel Zoe
I Think she looks great. I mean, I think the only thing to take into consideration with that is like, you know, when you're styling someone for the red carpet, you also have to remember as they do interviews, the only thing anybody's seeing is like the bust up. You know what I mean? Right. So it's sort of like all of a sudden you're just in this white tank top. So I think sometimes for something like this, if I was styling this look, I would have definitely put like a major moment of jewelry on so that she didn't look as bare.
Mary Elizabeth
Right. You know, in that interview shot.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
And she was wearing Charlotte Tilbury makeup, which, I mean, obviously she just looks like a bronze goddess.
Rachel Zoe
Yep.
Mary Elizabeth
Which is their signature. Signature vibe. But, yeah, she looked beautiful. Very, very Casey from Deeper well album, in my opinion. Okay, moving right along to our most costumed ladies of the evening.
Rachel Zoe
I listen, I loved Charli xcx. I actually loved that it was Gaultier.
Mary Elizabeth
Yes.
Rachel Zoe
And I actually loved that because, I don't know, it felt like her. Like, it felt cool. It felt cool. I actually love the dress. Like, it. It is very couture of the moment. It is very, you know, it worked for her. Like, it really did in the boots with her hair.
Mary Elizabeth
Thousand percent.
Rachel Zoe
I really loved this. I think some people didn't, but I did.
Mary Elizabeth
Like, Charli XX is like, you know, brat. Her album was like the movement of this.
Rachel Zoe
It's literally all anyone talked about this summer.
Mary Elizabeth
Exactly. And, like, she is that vibe of like a rave princess. And if I had to draw a dress for somebody that's like rave electronic dance music princess, like, this to me.
Rachel Zoe
Is like, spot on for her thousand.
Mary Elizabeth
And then amazing Chapel Ron, who won best new artist again, vintage Jean Paul Gautier, obviously, in a themed costume moment, leaning into the impressionist art that's on the gown. And she won. And she was. I mean, she's just such a cool, interesting, smart artist that again, both of these women, Charlie and Chapel Roan, have been in the music industry for a long time, and it's like so awesome that they're getting their flowers now and they're. And they're just themselves like, you know, Chapel Roan is just unapologetically Chapel.
Rachel Zoe
I mean, I think she's great. I also listen any. Any woman who holds their own and speaks their mind and wears whatever is not afraid of anything and doesn't give f all what, you know, what anybody thinks, you know, I think holds a very special place for me and can do no wrong. And obviously this is taking it to a whole nother place. But, you know, Godspeed.
Mary Elizabeth
Like, Chapel is like. It's like the Met Gala. Every. Every carpet is the Met Gala for her. Like, she picks her own theme.
Rachel Zoe
Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
She decides the character she wants to become and she, like, goes for it.
Rachel Zoe
Listen, we have very few and far between of those moments anymore, so bless, you know, I'm here for it. I also want to say on Charli xcx, like, I remember when I saw her perform at the. Either the. No, it was the LACMA gala this year. And I remember everyone was, like, freaking out that she was gonna perform. Everyone. And these were all, like, adults. These were not, like, kids, you know.
Mary Elizabeth
And like, industry people that are jaded 100%.
Rachel Zoe
And people were, like, freaking out. And I was like, what is this about? I am so unimpressed. And then I got sucked in. I couldn't stop watching her. She was amazing. She was so much fun to watch. Yes.
Mary Elizabeth
Energetic, for sure.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah. And I was wearing something so cumbersome to wear that I was, like, dying to get home and get out of it. And then I just stayed, like another hour to watch her because I was like, she's so good.
Mary Elizabeth
She's so great.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah. I think these two again gonna be around for a while. Which brings me to one of my favorite pop princesses, Lady Gaga. You actually posted. So she performed with Bruno Mars. Yes, she was nominated with Bruno. That performance, California Dreaming.
Rachel Zoe
Okay. Can I just say.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah, it was nice.
Rachel Zoe
That gave me.
Mary Elizabeth
It was like a hug.
Rachel Zoe
That was a hug. That was a hug.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
And I love Bruno Mars.
Mary Elizabeth
I think the Grammys did a very beautiful job of.
Rachel Zoe
I agree.
Mary Elizabeth
Of. They were raising money during the show. They highlighted the LA firefighters, which was really nice.
Rachel Zoe
I literally watched it four times. It was so good. I'm also such a mama. And the papa's like Stan. I just. The whole thing is so good. And that was amazing. I also loved how she went into that, like, bohemian role right away. And her outfit to perform in was so good. She's Gaga's so good. It's terrifying sometimes how talented she is.
Mary Elizabeth
It feels like Chapel Roan. I mean, it feels like these women who can recreate themselves, themselves and become what their music is trying to personify, and they do it. So Gaga was back to her, like, goth Gaga self, which I'm here for. I mean, Gaga used to be, bar none, the most out there in dress. I mean, the music was.
Rachel Zoe
I'll be honest. Can I say something about that in full disclosure?
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
For Me, that took away a little bit. Like, I'm actually the biggest Gaga fan when she's just herself. And I know I'm that way about a lot of people. And I understand that music is such a freedom of expression and dressing yourself in that Persona that you want to be in that moment. I have so much respect for that. But sometimes these women, in my opinion, get so buried under the makeup and the stuff that I love that you lose their. You're like, wait, who? You just want to get under what it is. And I think for me, I'm always such a die hard fan of Gaga in her natural state or in her movie star state. I just love that because her voice is like, it transcends you. Like it actually does. And I remember when she first came out and everyone was like, gaga, Gaga. And I was like, ah, she's trying to be like Madonna, because I was so Madonna, right? And then I was like, she won you over. Shit, she's so talented.
Mary Elizabeth
I mean, when she performed, I think it was the Grammys with Elton John. I mean, that was just like insane. Like an incredible. But she's back to like goth princess. And Vivienne Westwood, she's in an archival Tiffany necklace.
Rachel Zoe
Listen, if you're gonna do this look, you do it with Vivienne Westwood and archival Tiffany. She did it 100% correctly.
Mary Elizabeth
And to your point earlier, Gaga has a new album coming out. So I feel like this is her next chapter. This is the next era of the Gaga and she's like giving us the taste like sort of like goth princess vibe. But this Tiffany necklace, stunning. Is insane. So it's from the archives. It's never been seen before. Public gold pearls, black onyx, and that like giant tourmaline. Tourmaline is so cool.
Rachel Zoe
It's insane.
Mary Elizabeth
It literally looks like.
Rachel Zoe
It's insane.
Mary Elizabeth
It literally looks like she like cast a spell on somebody and you have to like rub the. Rub the tourmaline to like break spell. It's very whimsical. It's very Gaga.
Rachel Zoe
I don't know that I'm over her performance with Bradley Cooper.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah, well, she. Okay, so she did Fire Aid, which recently happened in Los Angeles. Lady Gaga was there and she sang Shallow by herself and it was just like everyone was like on their feet.
Rachel Zoe
Crying, just next level.
Mary Elizabeth
She's just incredible. And yeah, the new. Her new album.
Rachel Zoe
Imagine if you could sing like that.
Mary Elizabeth
I would never stop. I would be the most annoying human being on the face of the earth.
Rachel Zoe
Because I'd be like, imagine if you open Your mouth. And that came out.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah. I'm gonna sing for you again.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah, that won't happen to me.
Mary Elizabeth
It would be. I'd be so annoying. I wanted to shout out two ladies that I thought would be honorable mentions for you, and that is Ms. Cardi B. Yep. Cardi B. Was in Roberto Cavalli.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah. That looks like archival Roberto Cavalli. Unless it's a remake.
Mary Elizabeth
I think it's custom. I think it's new, so it might.
Rachel Zoe
Be custom based on an art, because I remember this dress in iteration of this, especially with the bottom the way it is.
Mary Elizabeth
The feathers, the sequins.
Rachel Zoe
All the things.
Mary Elizabeth
All of the things.
Rachel Zoe
She looks great.
Mary Elizabeth
I love the glam.
Rachel Zoe
Yep, she looks great. I love her hair. I love this. But you see how beautiful she is.
Mary Elizabeth
She's gorgeous. Yeah, she's a gorgeous girl. You know, I just feel like Cardi is just such a standout as a personality. Like, she's so fun and playful and whatever. I just feel like she really brought it and looked very timeless, elegant, poised Grammys. Like, she looks great. The glam's great.
Rachel Zoe
I think she looks amazing. Honestly, one of my favorite looks she's ever done. For sure. She looks great. Sheryl Groh. Should we talk about that?
Mary Elizabeth
So the show opened with a bunch of artists that were playing Randy Newman's I Love la, And I'm. The camera's moving around, and I'm sort of noticing people, and I'm like, who is that woman playing the bass? I'm like, who is that? She has blonde, shorter hair. I'm like, why can't I figure out who it is? So finally, the camera moves back around, and it's Sheryl Crow.
Rachel Zoe
She looks next level.
Mary Elizabeth
Looks gorgeous. Better than ever. I mean, she's been in the music business for so long now. She just looks 35.
Rachel Zoe
I mean, possible that she's 62.
Mary Elizabeth
Like, it's not. I don't know how, but she's just stunning to me. I think that she really, really brought it.
Rachel Zoe
Like, I really funny, though, because the cool thing about Sheryl Crow is that. And I worked with her. I used to work with her. I used to style her. I have to say that she honestly, like, the thing about her is that she looks like she just kind of was like, I'm gonna just throw on this Missoni from my closet, put a little makeup on, and go to the Grammy.
Mary Elizabeth
She has the Hudson, Cameron Diaz thing.
Rachel Zoe
Yes. The effortless, like, California girl vibe. You know, I have no idea where she's from, but I know that she looks incredible. She honestly looks incredible. And I love Sheryl Crowe's voice the best. Like, love the best.
Mary Elizabeth
I. I just thought she looked so gorgeous. Okay, well, we've talked a lot about some of our favorite looks, but I think we have to talk about something that was a repeated trend.
Rachel Zoe
Are you gonna ask me to like it?
Mary Elizabeth
I'm not gonna ask you to like it.
Rachel Zoe
Okay.
Mary Elizabeth
But there's a hair trend going around and I guess it's called the step cut. I.
Rachel Zoe
You can't.
Mary Elizabeth
I don't love it.
Rachel Zoe
Okay.
Mary Elizabeth
We've seen it before. Cher sort of famously did the step cut, which was bangs. And it's sort of, it's sort of like a non blended front piece. It's steps and keeping but one step. It's not like a layer down. It's like, it's like a one step.
Rachel Zoe
It's an unblended grown out, bang, ish, kind of. Yeah, yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
So Billie Eilish. We saw Billie Eilish at Fire Aid.
Rachel Zoe
My mother had her hair.
Mary Elizabeth
Who isn't? She's just.
Rachel Zoe
My mother's fully obsessed with Billie Eilish. She listens to her all day.
Mary Elizabeth
My mother's 83 and Billy and her brother Phineas performed first at the Grammys last night. And they're just like that like blood harmony thing when like siblings sing. It's like that Beach Boys thing that like, it's so ethereal and awesome. She's Billie Eilish.
Rachel Zoe
Can I say something?
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
I want to campaign to say that everyone who airs an award show, like a big one, right? Like a Globes, Oscars, Grammys, Emmys. I think it would be fair if you ran it once at the normal time, like 6:00 or whatever that is. And then for all the parents that couldn't watch it because it's during dinner and bed and homework time, then they do another airing for the parents.
Mary Elizabeth
Yes. I gotta teach you how to record on your.
Rachel Zoe
Or in modern day society. You can just watch it.
Mary Elizabeth
You could just record it. No, I get what you mean though. I get what you mean. You know what I watch.
Rachel Zoe
It's not fair because I want to watch it live and I can't.
Mary Elizabeth
And the greatest part about the Grammys is it is like one concert almost. Of course they're giving out awards in between. Trevor.
Rachel Zoe
Trevor.
Mary Elizabeth
Noah was the host and he's great, right? He does his monologue, he does some crowd work, but it is like a big concert.
Rachel Zoe
It is. It's a concert.
Mary Elizabeth
And so I wish that there was like a version of them just cutting together all the musical acts and then putting that somewhere.
Rachel Zoe
I agree. I agree. I think that would be super helpful for all of us.
Mary Elizabeth
It would be very helpful. Yeah. But, yeah, I feel like this.
Rachel Zoe
I'm asking for a friend.
Mary Elizabeth
The step haircuts here. Gaga, Miley and Billie.
Rachel Zoe
Like I said, I think in the world of entertainment, I think that this. Look, there's this big controversy about all things. Okay. Because at the end of the day, I think I firmly believe that the days of cutting anyone down and insulting anyone's hair, makeup, clothing, body types, anything, whatever it is, I'm all for not doing any of that, because I do believe there is no winning and there is no purpose. Sure, we all make fun of ourselves, but at the same time, I think I'm comfortable to say that this is not, for me, the step cut. I would not ever wear it myself.
Mary Elizabeth
No.
Rachel Zoe
I'd prefer that my children don't choose to do it. However, you know, this is what they're feeling. And I think, especially in the world of music, they are constantly birthing new identities, and I think this is one of them, you know? And I just. To me, it's pretty aggressive. It's just harsh. And I just like to. It's weird. I weirdly just like a natural beauty. And I like sometimes when people who are constantly on stage and constantly in costumes and constantly, like, changing their makeup and shaving their eyebrows and stuff, sometimes I just am like, wow, they're so beautiful. Like, you know, I remember the first time I saw Gwen Stefani without red lips and I almost died. I was like, she is stunning. Not that she's not always stunning, but it was, like, amazing. Same with Kim Kardashian. Like, I think sometimes when we're so used to seeing people with so much, sometimes that paired down is, like, so beautiful and equally as shocking. 100%. Like, if Gaga came in with, like, nothing.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
Except a soft blow dry.
Mary Elizabeth
Yeah.
Rachel Zoe
I mean. Yeah, you're right. Gaga came in as, like, with a 90s, like, soft blow dry and, like a. Like a Chloe dress or something like that. Like, that would be really shocking. That would be as shocking as, like, the goth step cut that we are.
Mary Elizabeth
Seeing from the Grammys.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
Do you think we're gonna see the step cut at Fashion Week?
Rachel Zoe
Yes, I do.
Mary Elizabeth
Okay.
Rachel Zoe
I think we'll probably see it on some models because it is a little.
Mary Elizabeth
It's like. It's, like, edgy, punky.
Rachel Zoe
Yeah.
Mary Elizabeth
Vibe.
Rachel Zoe
So I think.
Mary Elizabeth
I think we're gonna see some models 100 Yep.
Rachel Zoe
Grammys 2025 has concluded.
Mary Elizabeth
Concluded.
Rachel Zoe
Thanks so much for joining us for our quick Grammy fashion recap. Awards season is in full swing, so we're excited to do more of these red carpet recaps for all of you. I also want to point out that I think, you know, there wasn't a whole lot. It was very hard, I think, for people to figure out what to do this awards season because it feels so wrong to do anything that's celebratory. But I think the way that the Grammys really paid tribute and raised funds for the wildfires felt so good it made me think that it should always be that way, you know, for different because there's always another a charity element. There's just always something disastrous that happens in this country. You're not wrong that I think we should do that more often. Thank you so much for listening, everyone to Climbing in Heels.
