In the latest episode of the "Beauty Filter" podcast, entitled "What They're Doing Before the Red Carpet," hosts Sassy and Alexis delve into the bustling world of red carpet glamour, connecting it back to their own Irish roots in a light-hearted exchange. Amidst the excitement for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day, the conversation quickly pivots to the non-stop stream of red carpet events dominating their feeds. They ponder whether there's been a shift in the entertainment calendar or if it's just a season bustling with more events than usual.

A fascinating aspect of the episode is their discussion on the technological marvels enhancing celebrity appearances on the red carpet, such as the 360 camera. Alexis humorously recounts a personal near-miss with the device, highlighting the vulnerability of being captured from every angle. This segues into their admiration for celebrities like Alex Earle, whose red carpet preparation and presence are meticulously planned, with shoutouts to key figures like Patrick Ta who contribute to these iconic looks.

The hosts express a particular fondness for Sophia Richie’s elegance and her recent skincare collaboration, which cleverly ties into the broader theme of red carpet readiness and the importance of "protecting your investment" through skincare. They appreciate Richie’s class and her transition into a sophisticated, maternal figure, while also reminiscing about her past relationship with Scott Disick, noting how her style remained impeccable throughout.

Transitioning to discussions about Anne Hathaway and Dove Cameron, Sassy and Alexis touch on the delicate balance celebrities must strike between maintaining their natural expressiveness and indulging in aesthetic treatments to enhance their red carpet appearances. They advocate for transparency in the celebrity beauty regimen, emphasizing the power of honesty in influencing public perception and self-esteem.

The episode takes a critical turn when addressing the secrecy often surrounding celebrity aesthetic procedures. They call out the disservice this does to fans and the unrealistic beauty standards it perpetuates, using Billie Eilish’s call for authenticity as a rallying cry for more openness in the beauty industry.

Throughout, "What They're Doing Before the Red Carpet" blends lighthearted banter with serious discussions about beauty standards, celebrity culture, and the ethics of influence. Sassy and Alexis manage to provide listeners with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the glamorous, yet painstakingly detailed world of red carpet preparation, all while advocating for a more honest and inclusive conversation about beauty and self-care in the public eye.
