CATE: Yes, can’t you tell? I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night. Aren’t you at all curious as to why?

NATALIE: Not even slightly.

CATE: Really? Are you sure you can’t even IMAGINE why –

NATALIE: Listen, Cate, if you’re trying to get me to congratulate you on your Oscar, it’s not going to happen.

CATE: Fine. I was going to tell you the story of how I woke up today at dawn in Bruce Dern’s limo wearing nothing but Jared Leto’s red bow tie, but have it your way.

NATALIE: Been there, done that. Occupational hazard of being an Oscar winner.

DITA VON TEESE vs. VICTORIA BECKHAM

DITA: Really, Posh? Schoolgirl chic? What is this, 1997?

VICTORIA: Thanks, but I do not generally take fashion tips from women who cover their breasts in spiderwebs.

DITA: When you dress as well as I do, a smile goes with everything, you sullen little mannequin.

VICTORIA: Tell me, do you use a Delorean or a Time-Turner to travel back to the 1940s and steal every actress’s wardrobe?

Dita's gown by Jenny Packham; Victoria's top, skirt, sunglasses, and purse by Victoria Beckham, shoes by Casadei

Dita’s gown by Jenny Packham; Victoria’s top, skirt, sunglasses, and purse by Victoria Beckham, shoes by Casadei

DITA: If you’re trying to insult me, you’re doing it wrong. Plus, you can’t shame a burlesque diva.

Dita’s gown by Jenny Packham; Victoria’s top, skirt, sunglasses and purse by Victoria Beckham, shoes by Casadei

EMMA: Hey, Dakota. I love your dress and everything, but you’re giving all millennials a bad name with those Heidi braids.

DAKOTA: You leave my braids alone. I am an ethereal Scottish milkmaid and the world just needs to deal with it.

Emma’s gown by Lanvin, purse by Kotur; Dakota’s gown by Elie Saab

EMMA: Whatever, like any of us even knew what the hell to do with that punk theme?

DAKOTA: Preach, girl. There are few things less punk in the world than an extraordinarily fancy high fashion industry gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where every person’s outfit cost more than the price of an average car.

LILY COLLINS vs. OLGA KURLYENKO

Lily’s dress by Cushnie et Ochs, shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti; Olga’s gown by Burberry

LILY: Honey, I’m in a white dress and white shoes. I am NOT risking spilling a Bloody Mary on this outfit.

OLGA: Fine. Just pass me some aspirin and leave me alone.

Lily's top by Paper London, skirt by Halston Heritage; Olga's gown by Marchesa, purse by Stark

LILY: Fine. Just one tidbit of gossip?
