I m a little starstruck, can t lie.

I saw Viola Davis, I was like, oh, I can t,

I can t even talk to her, she s so perfect.

[upbeat music]

Hey Vogue, welcome to the show.

Come on in.

We are currently backstage at L Oreal.

We re super excited.

We re actually sitting directly

underneath the Eiffel Tower right now, which is pretty cool.

It s gonna be a special night.

I ve been here all day working

and the show s gonna start probably

in the next hour and a half, I think.

So we re just kind of touching up

and hanging out and chatting.

What s the TikTok trend right now?

Oh my God, I love this question.

Like I love this question.

I like pack on hangers

so like, I can just rehang everything super easily.

So like, I ll have all my stuff sectioned out

and then put things in garment bags

and then label the country or the city or whatever.

And then once I m there I just take the garment bag out,

put it, put the hangers on the, in the closet and I m done.

And then I pull my shoes out and my bags out and that s it.

So it s like a super efficient

like easy way of packing rather than folding everything.

Oh my god.

See, I didn t really understand this whole thing

for a while and then I think I started to,

to pick up on it more and more but I don t know.

The Bachelor, like, is that a good one?

My bag is not exciting today.

It s actually embarrassing today.

This is not a planned what s in my bag.

This is a very genuine and odd what s in my bag today.

I have been traveling with all my vitamins

so I have my vitamin thing, which is so grandma of me.

I have my wallet.

I was so sad.

I got this as a Christmas gift from my sister

and then I spilled water in my bag and it got ruined.

I got really sad about that

but I have a hair clip, my sunglasses.

Obviously, I think anyone who s seen any video

of me knows that I don t go anywhere without em.

I was changing a lot today.

So I do have my travel jewelry box with me,

also a gift from a friend.

And then it s all, oh, well, my phone s in here too.

That s not as exciting.

That s pretty much it today in my, my new Rowe find.

I ve been wearing it every day.

This season I ve been doing a like a healthy mix I think.

I think I sat at two and walked three, four.

I enjoy being on the other side of it

and watching all the beautiful girls go down the runway.

And then also being able to be a part of it

is such an honor, so.

I think in the beginning I was so nervous,

and so I didn t want them around

and I just wanted it to be like taken seriously personally.

So I didn t really have them around.

But now that they re here and now I m more comfortable

on a runway, I think I m totally fine with it.

They could scream and shout all they want.

I do have a superstitious prayer that I ve said

since day one and it, it s repetitive.

I say the same exact thing, but I m not gonna say it

cause it feels very personal.

I won t even call it superstitious.

It s just a prayer that I say every time.

Hello? What a surprise.

[Kris] I came to see what you were up to.

[Kendall] Mom! You re here so timely, and you re early.

I m an an hour and 15 minutes early.

Hi Vogue. Oh, hey Vogue.

[Kendall] Your shoes are so cute.

Thank you, Kenny.

[Kendall] I love your outfit.

Oh my God, my daughter loves my outfit.

Only when I yell Kendall!

An amazing clip with the Victoria s Secret fashion show,

I m like allowed to wave back.

Whereas other shows, it s very serious.

She was very excited.

When she waved back, I thought,

you made my life, Kendall.

400 shows and I never even got a wink.

Even when you scream, just know I hear you.

[Kris] Okay, good.

Thank you, Vogue for stopping by before the show.

I ll see you guys out on the runway.
