"It was the MTV Video Music Awards in 2004. I had an idea that I wanted her to look like a Robert Palmer dancer from the 'Simply Irresistible' video, so I made her this very tiny black bodycon dress that thankfully fit because we definitely had not done a fitting. She wore it with a pair of black Helmut Lang lace-up stilettos and red finger-less gloves. The part that really set the look was the hair and makeup, done by Mike Potter of Hedwig and the Angry Inch fame. I can remember walking down the red carpet with her and having someone from Entertainment Weekly approach me to ask about her look. She looked smoking hot in a way that was different from her stage looks."
