Love On Tour

Florence / Guess I'll see you around again?

Avalanna Carlson

"Fuck I'm in the house!" I smiled when I heard her voice, I looked over from the chair I was sitting on. I saw Nellie walk in, "when I got a call saying you needed a makeup artist I dropped everything to come and glam you up" she smiled and hugged me. "Thank you so much for flying out" I said, "always" I heard her say.

"We're going to do a natural look though, cause I just got a peek at your dress" she smiled. "A dewy look, a little nude lip and a bronzy eye" she said. "Whatever you think will look good" I just said.

Harry was at his hotel getting ready, I was going to arrive five minutes after him. Gucci planned everyone's time on the red carpet, I knew that. So everyone could come through, and I just got the message I'll be there five minutes past seven, Harry would arrive at seven.

"What do you think about the hair?" I asked her, "we'll straighten it, I think it would look good" she smiled. "Okay" I nodded, "let's get started" she smiled.

When Alessandro walked in he smiled and stopped by me. "You look absolutely stunning" he told me, I wasn't in my dress yet but Nellie just finished my makeup and hair. I looked into the mirror, the makeup wasn't too much, it was really pretty though. "Thanks" I said, "I think it's time for you to get into the dress" he told me, I just grabbed my rings and put them on, I did take off the necklace Harry gave me, Nellie told me not to wear any necklace to the dress.

Fifteen minutes later I was in the green dress. Alessandro walked over with a pair of black heals. He helped me with them, Nellie walked over to look at me, she took out a little more makeup and did the last touch up.

"I feel so weird going there" I said to them, "don't, you deserve this" Nellie told me. "You look like a goddess," Alessandro said. "She does, people are going to love this," Nellie smiled.

I was in the car with Alessandro, when we neared the street I grabbed his hand. He looked down, "Did I tell you that you look gorgeous?" He asked me, "I don't think so" I said, "you do" he said.

The car parked, "people are on the red carpet" I said. "Yeah and we'll get on it" Alessandro said. He was going to follow me on it. In case someone asked me where the dress was from. I also asked him to join me because he was the designer of the dress and I couldn't be there alone.

Alessandro got out first, he turned to me to offer a hand. I took it and got out. I gently grabbed his arm as we walked closer to the start of the red carpet. "Ready?" he asked me, "no but let's do this" I whispered.

We stopped at the first spot, "everyone is looking" Alessandro whispered. I looked at him for a few seconds, "you are not making me feel better" I whispered with a little smile.

We moved to the next spot, and an interviewer stood there. "Welcome both of you!" she smiled, we both thanked her. "Who are you wearing tonight Avalanna?" she asked me, "I'm wearing the one and only Alessandro Michele." I smiled and looked at him by my side. "It looks so stunning" she smiled, "tell me about the process?" she smiled and looked at Alessandro.

"We wanted to do something really simple with this dress," he said. He kept talking about thoughts and the work with the dress. I was just listening to him.
