Original Post, February, 23: Just when you thought Marie Kondo was everywhere this year, here comes even more evidence: You'll be able to spot The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up star on the red carpet at Sunday's Academy Awards. The organizing guru's not up for an Oscar-despite how wildly popular her Netflix show, Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, has become-she's there as Access's guest.
Yep, that's right-the entertainment news show is bringing Marie along for her first Academy Awards appearance, where she'll work the red carpet with the show's hosts and mingle with nominees. To prepare, the team took her to Jenny Packham's showroom to find a gown that'd "spark joy." Obvi.
In a video shared on the show's YouTube channel, Marie tries on three dresses: one silver, one black, and one pink. And all very, very...
"Sparkly," she proclaimed, giving her reaction to the slinky, silvery number she tries on first. But that statement easily applies to all three in varying degrees. During her fitting, Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon-Access's guest last year and Marie superfan-stopped by to give her some tips on working the red carpet. He showed her a go-to pose (stand to the side with one hand on your hip, in case you're curious) and asked if she'd want to wear a leather body harness like he did last year.
Spoiler: It didn't seem to spark joy for her, though she did say it was "interesting."
You can see the full video for yourself here (including finding out which celeb Marie's most starstruck about meeting), then weigh in: Which look are you hoping Marie will wear?
Marie teased all three looks on her Instagram Stories, but she's staying tight-lipped on which gown she'll wear on Sunday. Guess you'll have to tune in to ABC at 8 p.m. EST to find out.
