"But this year, I couldn't help but cringe at the interviews. Stylist Law Roach and fashion journalist Zanna Rassi hosted the pink carpet pre-show. However, their interview techniques and overall questions were markedly different.

On the other hand, you had Law Roach, a celebrity stylist, whose interviews were awkward and difficult to watch."
"He called actress Amy Sedaris a nepotism baby. Told actress and model Indya Moore that they're both from the same place -only for her to say she's from the Bronx, while he's from Chicago.

Roach isn't the first non-journalist to conduct interviews at major entertainment events."
Stylist Law Roach and fashion journalist Zanna Rassi hosted the 2025 Victoria's Secret pink carpet pre-show, and their interview styles diverged sharply.

Brands increasingly use influencers for marketing; as of February 2024, 26% of marketing agencies and brands allocated more than 40% of budgets to influencer partnerships. Important event reporting benefits from trained journalists.
