How Oscar week runs
The ceremony is one night, but the week is full. Here is how Kate plans around it.
The ceremony
Red carpet · Long dayGlam starts hours before arrivals, so the look is built to last through the carpet, the show and the drive to the parties.
The after-parties
Evening changeMany guests change for the after-parties. Plan the second look with Kate when you book.
Pre-Oscar events
Luncheons · Parties · ScreeningsThe week before the show is full of events. Book them together and Kate keeps every look consistent.
Teams & groups
