Transcript

We need to take a moment of silence for Margaret Qualley. She's at the premiere of her new movie, Tier Dog Stars, looking stunning in Chanel. But what really gags me, she wore the shoes. She wore the viral barefoot Chanel sandals on the red carpet. They first came down the runway in the last Chanel cruise collection in Biarritz. I was deeply best, but the Internet was divided. I mean, I think they're iconic, and they are the perfect resort wear shoe. Like, I only want to be strolling down the beach in these. But I never thought in my wildest dreams that we would get to see them on the red carpet. This is so beautiful. Thank you, Margaret. Thank you, Danielle Goldberg, for your bravery. Emma Choo, lazy, for your brain.
