Brad Goreski Quotes

At these award shows, I love to see what people are going to wear.

Fashion is something I've always been interested in... I used to watch the Oscars but paid no attention to the awards... It wasn't until I started attending red carpet events and was flown out to Paris for my first show, and saw how much is put into it all, that I had this new appreciation for everything.

Who are you wearing? Who are you wearing?

Hollywood and fashion are symbiotic partners, especially during awards season.

The first red carpet I did was at New York's Paris Theatre... It was this beautiful night, and everyone is screaming my name. I'm the least pretentious actress you can ever meet. Someone said to me that I look like I've been doing this forever, and I said that's because I watch E!

The days of red carpet disasters are kind of over.

Red carpets are awful. They're like a kind of purgatory - you stand there, and there are cameras flashing everywhere. One of my first red carpets was in Cannes for 'The Great Gatsby,' and I'd never seen anything like it.

I know the Academy Awards are all about the art, and love, of movie making. But I have to say, my favorite part is the dresses!

Most actresses save their best gown of the award season for the Academy, so it truly is a red carpet full of the fashion's creme de la creme.

Even though I love fashion and the red carpet dresses are a great, fun, glorious thing, I don't really have my finger on the pulse, as Phryne Fisher does, of the fashion industry.

I love taking advantage of red carpets.

We are going to have a huge Oscar issue, you are going to see everything in such beautiful detail.

I love the Cannes Film Festival. From the lavish parties and events to the red carpet attire, this star-studded week-long event is where I get a lot of inspiration for hair and fashion.

You always want to look your best at events like the Globes, Emmys, or Oscars. It's a part of the business that I am not particularly comfortable with. I would prefer to turn up in a pair of jeans and an old shirt, but it's all about image - the studio wants you to look your best.

For premieres, you get designers offering to dress you for the evening, which is nice.

Awards shows... I just feel like a fish out of water at those things.

Entertainment, Hollywood, award shows - these are the things that really captivated me.

The first time I went to the Emmys was amazing. I had someone make me a dress - like, made for me.

I've worn over 6,700 gowns. They're all borrowed gowns, designer samples.

You've got to swank in Hollywood.

There's always been a relationship between the film world and fashion.

I know, for myself, I have a very distinct style, and I know what I like, and I know what I don't like. But it has been a process of learning how to cater to the different events that happen with Hollywood and how you might want to dress for red carpet and what things photograph well.

You never want to be caught off guard on the red carpet.

As much as we love an excuse to dress up, the red carpet is not the place.

I think when people think about California, they think about straight Hollywood, that Hollywood glamour, whole bunch of flashes, so much paparazzi.
