“There is always laughter when I’m getting ready with Kat-Nejat. We have been friends for years in the industry. She used to be an actress, singer, dancer on Broadway and has now pivoted into doing make and hair. We have been together for every event in have had this season and not only is she the best at what she does, but she is the most kind and FUN to be around.”
“In moments like this I sometimes need to take a quiet moment and pray. My parent flew in on Saturday night to be with me getting ready, and this moment here is us taking a moment of prayer to give thanks and get centered. You can see my dad here with his ‘Lempicka’ t-shirt on.”
“Collaborating with Kat is my fave. We both come up with ideas and somehow they always align beautifully. My dress was very flown and ethereal, and I knew I want to take my hair out and wear it down for the party. I told Kat, I wanted it to look like I just threw my hair up. Flossy, messy, but classic. I love the way Michael caught this moment.”
“Last minute contouring with my girl and two of my besties looking on. I love their faces. They look so happy and excited to see the look finally all come together.”
“This picture perfectly captures the way this whole look made me feel. It was so amazing to be able to get ready and my dear friends gorgeous home with all of my loves around me. I felt so supported and so loved.”
“This was our first posed shot of the night. Playing Tamara, who was known for her nude portraits and for the way she painted skin. The way it was so smooth and luminous. When my stylist Jake Sokoloff and I tried on this dress we both commented on how it looked like the skin in Tamara’s paintings. So naturally we knew we had to let the sheerness on the fabric be the moment for a few little peek a boos!”
“Jen Namoff and Caitlin Johnston so graciously allowed us all to get ready together and we had fun with finding photo worthy spots in their home. This is from their media room with overlooks the downstairs dining area.”
“Roof moment is necessary. The light, the dress, the city behind me. This was the moment.”
“Last minute looks and hugs with Mom and Dad. They are the cutest, Always loving and supporting me. Representing ‘Lempicka’ with our show merchandise.”
“The last moment of calm before walking on to the red Carpet. Matt Gould (‘Lempicka’ composer) was my date. We had a pact a while ago that we would be each others dates for the Tony’s and although it was bittersweet for us that our show didn’t get more recognition, it felt so right to have him by my side.”
