Twenty-four hours later, I was back in my tiny apartment lying across the bed and trying to work out whether my bedroom in Badgley Hall had been larger than my entire home. It was. The door buzzer rang, and I sprang up to answer it. Jordana rushed at me as soon as I opened the door. She flung her coat and phone onto a pile of unread magazines and newspapers, sat down on the couch, and opened her laptop on my coffee table.

“Thank goodness you’re back! We have so much to do.”

I threw my hands up. “Easy, girl. I haven’t even unpacked yet.”

Jordana pushed my hands down and kept talking. “I spoke to Gemma, and she said you have a dossier with all the wedding details.”

“You spoke with Gemma Landry?”

Jordana looked up from her computer. “She called me on Friday—wanted to make sure I had everything I needed to be able to field questions from the press. We hit it off like gangbusters.”

I sipped on my coffee. “Why am I not entirely surprised?”

She ignored my comment and continued.

“We worked out our strategy for dealing with the press and agreed it was in everyone’s best interest to give Vogue a bit of an exclusive on the gown. Anna Wintour has been such an outspoken supporter of Victoria’s choice of G. Malone, it just makes sense.”

“Victoria agreed to give Vogue an exclusive? I thought she wanted to keep the dress under wraps until the big day?”

“Victoria signed off on a cover story and spread to take place before the wedding to capture more stylistic elements of the dress but not to reveal the dress itself. Then they’re going to run a follow-up article on the world’s reaction to the gown following the wedding. You have a meeting with Vogue a week from…” She scrolled down to the bottom of her calendar. “Thursday.”

Jordana pulled a notebook from her bag, flipped to the middle, and rattled off a list of things I needed to do to prepare for the meeting.

“They’ll need an idea of the color scheme. For example, is the dress stark white or cream? If possible, they’d love a clue about the fabric choice. Lace? Satin? Taffeta? Tulle? Is the dress more whimsical or formal? Are you pulling any inspiration or ideas from history or past royal weddings? They also asked if you and Jamie would be willing to be in the actual photo shoot. I knew he’d be down for that but wasn’t sure how you’d feel?”

“Umm, uh, sure—yeah, I guess that’s fine.”

She took out a pen and crossed that off her list. “Great. Anna’s also asking for a lookbook as soon as we can get it to her.”

“I thought the shoot was just supposed to evoke the feel of the dress. Why does she need a lookbook?”

“Gigi, it’s Anna Wintour. I didn’t ask questions. When do you think you can get that over to her?”

“I don’t know. I’m pretty far behind.”

“Okay, I’ll let her team know you’ll have something with you on Thursday,” she said without looking up from her phone.
