Preston Konrad on What We Can Expect Celebrities to Wear on Oscar's Red Carpet
Preston Konrad is a celebrity stylist who knows a thing or two about dressing stars for big events. He sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about some of the biggest trends hitting the red carpet this season and what he's heard about how celebrities are going to honor the #metoo movement.
He explains that an entire team of stylists work together long before the red carpet to pick and choose the look for award season, culminating with the Academy Awards. It then takes a team to put the look together to ensure nothing goes wrong on the big night.
Konrad also gives insight into what he thinks celebrities will do on the red carpet to honor the #metoo movement, explaining that he heard a lot of celebrities are opting to wear female designers, so many of the popular male designers will be left out of Hollywood's biggest night.
