00:00Oh, hey.
00:03I've been expecting you.
00:06It's Dominique Thorne here and it is premiere day!
00:09Come on, who, what, we're.
00:11Let's go on this journey together.
00:13Go.
00:14I think my Getting Ready playlist is probably anything that has some Tina Marie on there.
00:33I do love a good 80s, 90s throwback session.
00:38The music from that time, I feel like all of us here were kind of chatting about it.
00:43It's just so rich.
00:44There's always such a good story being told in those songs.
00:57My favorite part of Getting Ready for an event like this is definitely the creative process
01:05that happens before this moment.
01:07So like working with hair, makeup, styling to sort of put the puzzle pieces together
01:13and really build the look.
01:15Kind of go on that journey of finding pieces, having pieces find you.
01:22It is this beautiful, like sheer, tulle, pink, nude, black dress from Prabhu Garun.
01:32This Asian American designer that I'm super excited to step out in.
01:38I've never seen anything like it.
01:40And I think that the hair, makeup, accessories that we've got going to sort of complement it.
01:47Like they've really come together to make a look.
01:51A look that I'm ready to serve.
01:53A lot of this look just came together out of trust.
01:57Trust and faith and hope.
01:59And extremely talented individuals is what it is.
02:03Trusting good people.
02:04Trusting people who are not only excellent at their job, but who also love what they do.
02:09The dress that we ended up with is literally, I think it was the last dress that we tried on.
02:15We were kind of just like, okay, I think we found our piece.
02:17Like I think we're good to go.
02:19And we were both kind of like, let's just see what this one looks like.
02:23Put it on and we're like, okay, yeah, so this is the dress.
02:25Which is hilarious because we almost didn't try it on.
02:41You've got such a like a strong look that I think it's important to like balance it with like hair and makeup.
02:50That's also pretty like easy and soft and, and yeah, just kind of helps complement it.
03:00Nail color is also very simple.
03:03Bubble bath.
03:05Love her.
03:07Literally never a fail.
03:08But I also just learned, we were talking about this moments ago, that there's this new glazed donut thing going on,
03:14which I did not know about.
03:15But the nail tech was like, oh, do you want to try this?
03:17I said, sure.
03:18Honestly, after we spoke about what the initial idea was, I knocked out.
03:24So I woke up to these beautiful pink bubble bath, but also kind of like iridescent, like oval shaped nails, which are super pretty.
03:37I have like a lip balm addiction.
03:41And then other than some like body moisturizer and my film camera, I think I'm pretty set.
03:51Am I nervous?
03:53Are we nervous?
03:55Let's see.
03:56I'm definitely, I think, intrigued to see what the vibes are going to be.
04:03Definitely a lot of anticipation.
04:06But I don't know about nerves.
04:08There's like this like giddiness, but also like tingling that I'm feeling, but it's definitely more in the direction of excitement, I think.
04:18After tonight, I'm definitely looking forward to the wind down, to the good shower, a good end of day stretch, pre-bed yoga flow.
04:33Riri Williams is this 19 year old super genius who has found herself at MIT.
04:45Definitely overconfident and over comfortable with her experience there.
04:51She's not really looking to be understood, or she's not looking to do anything other than maintain her self-interest.
05:00And it's that sort of comfortability that gets her involved with Wakanda.
05:07Yeah, we can do music.
05:08Great!
05:21Well, what a day we've had.
05:28Thank you for joining me on this premiere day.
05:30Get ready with me experience.
05:33Who, what, where?
05:34I hope you like what you see.
05:36Buh-bye!
05:37Till next time.
05:51Bye!
05:52Bye!
05:53Bye!
05:54Bye!
