Oprah Winfrey makes Stella McCartney scream at Paris show

Words were almost inaudible amid the screams at the Paris Fashion Week show where Stella McCartney presented a collection that toyed with draping and upcycling.

Such exuberant outbursts would usually come from the designer's fans. But it was McCartney herself who caused the commotion when Oprah Winfrey appeared backstage at her show on Monday.

Here are some highlights of fall-winter 2019 displays:

JUST SCREAM

Winfrey managed to utter "It was beautiful. It was fun," amid the noise and cameras.

McCartney, a global fashion icon and the daughter of former-Beatle Paul McCartney was evidently humbled as she was jostled backstage while standing alongside Winfrey, a global entertainment icon.

"I'm dying," exclaimed McCartney.

Winfrey, who's rarely seen on the fashion circuit, smiled as McCartney lavished praise.

McCartney said she advised her models, including Natalia Vodianova, "Just bow down," if you "walk past her."

Winfrey arrived flanked by a bodyguard, race car driver Lewis Hamilton and Edward Enninful, British Vogue's first black editor-in-chief.

A STELLA COLLECTION

Strong shoulders with draping spilling down and pops of vivid color made up the style formula for McCartney's show at Paris' ornate Opera Garnier.

The British-American designer said she aimed this season to project a "powerful persona." Her chicly deployed collection succeeded in towing the line between strength and the softness that defines McCartney's designs.

Structure was everywhere. Tight waists were cinched with on-trend belts or geometric panels.

But draping was used sensitively to break up any harsh lines.

Fall-winter was all about the shoulders, which came peaked in the style of the late-1970s or with an extraneous layer of material for a stylish Japanese feel.

A vivid red gown with a cross-over-style torso and fluttery waist tassels perfected the Asian musing. Contrasting thigh-high black boots gave the same look some spice.

A vacuum-packed tree leaf was included inside invitations to eco-warrior McCartney's show.

It was done to promote a campaign to protect the Indonesia's Leuser Ecosystem in Indonesia. Called "There She Grows", the campaign invites the designer's friends and members of the public to dedicate a tree to raise awareness.

Participants so far include Gwyneth Paltrow, Pink, Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon and Rooney Mara.

The ecological references by the designer, who uses no fur and only "vegetarian leather", continued in the collection through lashings of greens and browns in the color palette, and the use of upcycled material to make dresses.

Ecology has been a theme this season: Kenzo sent out an invite last week with tomato seeds embedded in the plantible paper.

VALLI'S SPACE SHIP

A slanted wall with trapezoid-shaped window holes and sanitized lighting evoked the mood of a spaceship for Italian designer Giambattista Valli.

Adding to the futuristic mood were powder-colored heels with shaggy fringing that evoked Chewbacca from "Star Wars." There were also sheeny black high-waisted pants.

Aside from these references, the fall-winter collection was predictable territory.

Valli's signature floral prints and unfurling short silk gowns were ubiquitous and mixed in with the season's top trends.

Jabot collars and tulle neck detailing ticked the 1970s trend box.

SACA GOES DARK

A darker and more aggressive mood than usual befell Sacai, one of Japan's most popular luxury brands, and it was not just in the colors.

Warrior-like waists were shown cinched with thick black belts or extra layers of fabric.

Patent leather shoes sported pointed spikes and studded straps that resembled armor.

Large round shoulders created the effect of a padded silhouette, evoking the traditional layering of an Asian fighter.

The styles worked well thanks to contrasting, chic touches, such as large cream fur coat cuffs that added luxuriance.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Emma Stone just seems more comfortable out of her seat than in it at awards shows.

At the Golden Globes Sunday, the “Bugonia” star held court with a rotating cast of companions, from Kirsten Dunst to Jennifer Lawrence — not in the main ballroom, but in a much smaller side room with a bar, a tea and coffee station and an ever-replenishing supply of decadent desserts, Nobu sushi, caviar cups and, perhaps most importantly, no television cameras.

Here’s some more of what you didn’t see on the Golden Globes broadcast.

Before the show even started Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo found one another near the bar and chatted for a while, not about plans for an impromptu “Thriller” dance, but about how Jay Penske, whose media empire includes Hollywood trade publications like “The Hollywood Reporter,” “Variety” and “Deadline,” also co-owns the Golden Globes. “Isn’t that crazy,” he said. Conversation then shifted to how he nearly missed his own category last year due to the security backup at the drop off area. He made it in, eventually, but just by a hair and had to take a seat in the aisle.

As the clock ticked down, Glen Powell escorted his mother into the ballroom, taking her arm to navigate the steps Alicia Silverstone just had to sidestep down. They spotted their table off to the side and Powell took a beat: “Want to hit the bar then?”

Silverstone was having her own issues though, and another mom soon came to the rescue: Mila Kunis was on a mission to deliver some Band-Aids to Silverstone, who thanked her profusely.

Elsewhere, Colman Domingo danced his way to his table. Teyana Taylor, flanked by security trying to rush her to her seat, snapped a selfie with a guest. Rose Byrne paused to hug Elle Fanning, while Universal chair Donna Langley spoke to Benicio Del Toro. And Kylie Jenner made her way in at the last minute, without Timothée Chalamet and with only minutes to showtime.

Stone beelined to the side room after the first award, leading her “Bugonia” director Yorgos Lanthimos and costar Alicia Silverstone along with her. Stone and Lanthimos were deep in conversation, with brief interruptions requesting selfies.

Over at the coffee and tea station, Kirsten Dunst was halfway through pouring herself a cup of coffee when she paused and told husband Jesse Plemons “I don’t want this, do you?” Her order instead was cranberry and some sparkling, which Plemons dutifully delivered to her throughout the night. Both were also excited to greet Wagner Moura.

After Stellan Skarsgård’s win, Sean Penn made his way to the “Sentimental Value” table to give Renate Reinsve a big hug, while Megan Everett-Skarsgård, who had just gotten a very public boost from her husband, celebrated with Elle Fanning.

Seth Rogen, meanwhile, followed his first win of the evening with what looked like a very, very dirty martini.

Ariana Grande led a glamorous train to the ladies’ room, telling Jessie Buckley and Reinsve to “hold on to me!” The three made a brief stop to say hi to Tessa Thompson, and pose for a photo, before reaching their destination. In the line for the toilets, Grande sighed “phew we made it,” holding up her voluminous gown as best she could. Still someone soon stepped on a part of it, apologizing profusely. Grande put her at ease immediately, though, insisting, “No, I’m the problem!”

Later in the show, Jennifer Lawrence made her way to the bar area where she hugged Jeremy Allen White before finding Stone, who put down her white wine and took her friend’s face in her hands. They fluffed their hair when a photographer asked for a photo before they decided to take their own selfie as well.

Dunst spotted Lawrence nearby too, telling “The Testament of Ann Lee” filmmaker Mona Fastvold and Zoë Kravitz that she just wanted to say hi. Plemons soon arrived with three drinks to dole out. One was not for Lawrence, who joined the line to order her own drink.

In another part of the room, Gayle King, who snacked on a small bite of dessert, appeared to have procured a to-go box for the sushi and soon was next to the “KPop Demon Hunter” women picking some choice pieces.

Patrick Schwarzenegger took a good long look at the dessert table, before moving on, empty-handed to the sushi. No protein shakes here for the “White Lotus” star.

Back inside the ballroom, the commercial breaks are a race to socialize. Everywhere you looked, there were interesting chats happening: Dwayne Johnson and Steven Spielberg, Macauly Culkin and Parker Posey, Maya Rudolph and Selena Gomez, Johnson and Timothée Chalamet and Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, to name a few.

Others stayed put in their seats as the night went on. Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Adam Sandler seemed content to hang at their very starry table. (Why get up when people can come to you instead?). Jessie Buckley let her “Hamnet” son, a tired-looking, Jacobi Jupe sit on her lap for a bit. And Eva Victor took a moment to reapply their lipstick before their category was up.

Were Marty Supreme (Chalamet) and The Smashing Machine (Johnson) talking about greatness? Was Sean Penn smoking inside the ballroom? What did Britt Lower whisper to Grande? And what did Grande then write on a napkin and pass to Lower? Why was Ethan Hawke’s wife Ryan Hawke carrying a tote bag that said “Snoop’s Survival Kit” and what was in it? And what did Stone say to the three Beverly Hills Police officers that made them laugh so much?
