How Sofia Richie Gets Ready for the Chicest Oscars Party of the Night
It takes a village to get red carpet–ready for any event, but we imagine the stakes are extra high on Oscars night. So how do you pull together a show-stopping look? Well, for Sofia Richie, she had a little help from beautiful Bulgari jewelry, stylist Marie-Lou Bartoli, makeup artist Samuel Paul, and hairstylist Scott King.
Before heading out to the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars party, Richie snapped some exclusive polaroids for Who What Wear, detailing what really goes on behind the scenes ahead of a major red carpet. In between poses, Richie gave us close-up looks at her jaw-dropping jewelry: Bulgari's white gold Serpenti Seduttori high jewelry necklace and earrings with emerald eyes. Can we borrow that necklace next time, Sofia? Read on to see the fun polaroids.
"I definitely need music playing when I’m getting ready for big events like the Elton John Oscars party. It’s such a special night, and it takes about two hours for me to get ready. This is my first time attending Elton’s party. I prefer my hair and makeup to be more on the natural side. Samuel and Scott have worked with me many times, so we collaborated together on the look."
Diamonds by Bulgari, of course. You need big diamonds for a big night.
"Marie-Lou is such an amazing stylist. She found this stunning vintage Armani Privé dress."
"Another look at the jewels for the night. So excited to be wearing such beautiful pieces."
"Finishing touches. Almost ready to head out!"
"My final look."
"There’s always time for one more photo."
Last but not least: "Ready to rock the red carpet."
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
