Okay, that's kind of mean, but I am a vicious, vicious, vicious woman.
I spent some of this morning scrolling through happy Father's Day greetings of Caitríona's female friends and colleagues. These who have child/children, of course.
Voilà, some pieces of evidence I found during my investigation:
1. Sara Ziff

2. Karla Welch

3. Teresa Palmer

4. ... Caitríona Balfe. Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign.
⁉️⁉️⁉️
Even if I believed in 🧛🏻♂️‘s child, I would find it odd.
You see, I just seem mean. I'm only being thorough.
Z is already a model while prob making as much or more than these young top modelsl ol she is a fashion girl and respected actress, smthn alot of her peers dream about. This clip below (from a interviewer who did a podcast with law) talks about how fashion can really elevate a actress. Z is doing well at both 😌
If Taylor were to change stylist, who would you like to see her work with? Also who is your favorite personal favorite makeup artist and stylist? What celeb always gets their fashion right on and off the runway
Imo it’s impossible to be “always” right but I enjoy Erin Walsh’s work for Anne Hathaway as of late. Karla Welch made magic for America Ferrera during the recent awards circuit.
I loved what Jamie Mizrahi did for Jennifer Lawrence’s revamped street style. Super chic.
Remember… Actor Caitríona Balfe looked incredible in a red-lip look paired with a winning Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2020 sheer blouse and black bustier dress combo. The look was put together by Canadian superstylist Karla Welch (who also worked with America Ferrera, Kristen Wiig and Kaitlyn Dever last night). — CBC Life

cr fashion book: “get ready with karlie kloss for the 2024 met gala”
When the first Monday in May arrives, attention turns to which designers celebrities will showcase and how they collaborate with design teams to interpret the event’s theme. While this year’s event has officially concluded, the 2024 Costume Institute exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” featured a variety of ensembles that embodied the red carpet theme, “A Garden In Time,” both literally and metaphorically.
This year, Karlie Kloss partnered with Swavrovski’s creative director Giovanna Engelbert and stylist Karla Welch to craft a stunning interpretation of this year’s theme, inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story “The Garden of Time.” Accompanied by fellow supermodels and Swarovski campaign stars Irina Shayk, Anok Yai, and Imaan Hammam as well as Engelbert, Kloss embodied the crystal flower, a symbol of beauty and elegance in Ballard’s story.
The strapless, mermaid-style gown in a dreamy petal pink featured Swarovski’s Florere and Millenia collections cascading down its hourglass silhouette and was adorned with 180,000 light rose crystals, requiring seven artisans 225 hours to complete. Kloss’ silhouette was further enhanced by a bejeweled corset enveloping her body in garlands of blossoming pink flowers, showing a harmonious blend of jewelry artistry and fashion design. The corset alone was comprised of 60,500 crystals and 75 Florere jewels and took a team of five artisans 1,600 hours to create. From envisioning her look with Swarovski team to her trusted Met Gala tips, Kloss shares an inside look at getting ready for the annual gala with Swarovski below.
CR: Tell us about your look for the Met Gala, what was the inspiration and how did you work with the Swarovski team to interpret the Met’s theme?
KK: Giovanna, Karla Welch and I drew inspiration from the overarching theme of the exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which highlights the sensory aspects and cyclical themes of nature in fashion. We focused on the fragility and ephemeral qualities that are central to the exhibit, particularly through the lens of the delicate interplay between nature and the four centuries of fashion showcased. We embodied this concept by integrating Swarovski crystals into the design in a way that reflects both literal and metaphorical fragility. Wearing a delicate garment entirely made of crystals captures the essence of rebirth and renewal, but also respects the fragility of the historical garments featured in the exhibition.
CR: What does the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme and “The Garden of Time” red carpet theme mean to you?
KK: The exhibition celebrates fashion that’s so fragile that it can no longer be worn, elevating these pieces into something almost sacred. I love that we’re celebrating the beauty of these archives and the creativity and inspiration behind them. In Ballard’s short story, the garden symbolizes beauty, peace and innocence. To me, these themes are enduring, not ephemeral. They remind us to find moments of stillness and reflection to appreciate the beauty around us.
CR: You’ve been to a handful of Met Galas at this point, are there any pre-Met rituals you swear by?
KK: Taking a moment to center myself through a few different forms of self-care is a must. Squeezing in a facial at Tracie Martin and a gloss by my favorite, Jenna Perry, and a lymphatic massage if time allows!
CR: What have been some of your favorite Met Gala moments?
KK: That’s a tough one…of course the moment of ‘looking camp in the eye’ is something that still gets referenced today and honestly, I’m happy we are able to still laugh about it. Last year, however, was the most special for Josh and me. Getting to share my baby bump on the red carpet was a moment that I will cherish forever.
