On wanting something special to wear for her interview with Adele: “I was so excited to meet Adele for the first time. Even though I have a closet full of clothes and haven’t been anywhere in two years, I wanted something special for the interview in my rose garden. I thought something in a shade that matched the background of the flowers would be perfect. In early 2020, Jennifer Lopez was wearing a Sally LaPointe suit when she joined my 2020 Vision tour in Los Angeles. Gayle and I loved it so much. So I called Sally’s team and we talked about doing something in an apricot color.”
On why she switched from an apricot suit: “Two weeks later, I was sent a picture of what Adele would be wearing. It was a beautiful white suit by Christopher John Rogers. I thought, Whoa, I’m going to look like a parrot next to her. I even had a conversation with Gayle about it. I said, “Oh my God, everybody went to the trouble to get this suit made, and now she’s going to be in a neutral color. I don’t want to stand out like a peacock.” Of course Gayle said, “I love being a peacock.” But, listen, I certainly do not love being a peacock. In fact, neutrals tend to be my go-to in everyday life.
On finding the right outfit for the interview—by shopping her closet: “I went to my closet to look for something more subdued and came up with a Brunello Cuccinelli jumpsuit with a cream-colored jacket. When I walked in and met her for the first time, I was so glad I’d listened to that little whisper and gone with my gut. I had fretted so much, but it was the right choice for me. The crew ended up blocking out all the colored roses, so you can only see the white ones. I would have looked like a peacock for sure. In the end, our neutral suits looked perfect together. And I wound up wearing a navy suit with feathers from Sally LaPointe to introduce the concert. Oh, and keep an eye out for the apricot suit—it may just make an appearance one day.”
