"Wow. So this was a really fun carpet. So the whole idea was Lizzo grew up in Houston, Texas . . . So we were talking about about the inside of these custom detailed cars that people invest so much in, and they talk about if you have wood grain in your car that's next level," Mayo said, explaining that everything from her dress to the hat on her head — which was made out of hair — were inspired by that woodgrain texture.
"I wanted to incorporate those woody brown tones, but I also want to add an element of warmth to it," Mayo added. "So you'll see that there's a lot more orange and kind of pinks in there just to really make the eye pop. And really strong severe cat eye with this. I think that this really gave her this strength and power along with the look and it still just looks really glamorous, and she loves bronze and sparkle and things like that. So this was a really fun look to create."
