No, I cannot tell you anything about the new Snow White movie
0:04
I've been sworn to secrecy. Hi, Who, What, Where? This is Rachel Segler
0:17
I think my perfect photoshoot pump-up jam would be Manicure by Lady Gaga
0:24
I think Artpop is such a beautiful album and doesn't get enough love
0:29
doesn't get enough attention and I think manicure is my favorite song off of it
0:34
I love to drink as much water as I possibly can on a photo shoot because you're standing in the same position sometimes for way too long you start to go a little bit crazy water will wake
0:42
you right back up. I'm not a huge coffee drinker if I was I'd probably drink coffee too but I don't
0:48
I don't have a lot of snacks on photo shoots I'm really scared look at me I'm wearing a white suit
0:52
like I'm just too messy to possibly eat snacks while in very fancy clothing that I do not own
0:59
For pre-shoot ritual, I don't have many, but I feel like the low hum of conversation is
1:05
very important to me to just keep my brain awake and to wake everybody up in the morning
1:11
Just bring some good conversation, catch up with my team, my glam team, my styling team
1:16
It's very nice. A post-shoot ritual would probably be taking a nap in the car ride home and then going
1:24
home and falling asleep on the couch My signature scent nowadays is probably Miss Dior I love the way Miss Dior smells It very floral and beautiful and very light
1:38
It's not too overwhelming and it's not an old lady scent, which I'm always really cognizant
1:43
of when picking fragrances out. I'm most looking forward to being back with my glam team
1:50
It's been like a year since we all were together, and everything's kind of amping back up
1:56
with Shazam 2 coming out, so we're kind of just easing back into spending
2:00
every waking moment with each other, and I'm glad that we get to start doing that here
2:06
I'm probably most excited to wear this meow number that I've never worn them before
2:12
so I'm really excited to wear them in today's shoot. I feel like I really vibe with the
2:19
I think it's, I'm ancient when it comes to keeping up with trends
2:24
I have no idea what is trendy ever. I'm so bad at it
2:28
But I feel like the clean girl aesthetic, whatever that means, is a thing
2:34
And then there was also like these, this lip trend that I think Hailey Beaver was talking
2:39
about that like Latinas have been doing for so long with the liner and gloss
2:44
I'm always in with that trend. and anything that allows me to wear a gloss and just some mascara
2:50
It makes me feel confident to leave the house. I don know if I been influenced by a lot of trends but I a big fan of everybody who likes to express themselves in any art form And I feel like makeup is such an incredible art form where people get to express themselves
3:09
I've been doing my makeup since I was way too young to be doing my makeup
3:13
And my mom let me, you know, rifle through her makeup bag and play
3:17
So I'm always just supportive rather than influenced by makeup artists and kids who are out there just expressing themselves via their makeup or their hair or their fashion
3:31
I feel like my most memorable day on Shazam 2, Fury of the Gods was probably my last day of shooting
3:40
which I can't necessarily spoil for you now because it was a very pivotal day of shooting
3:46
but we all got to be together in the same frame for, you know, on a superhero shoot
3:52
It's not always common for you to actually be able to look your fellow scene partners in the eye
3:56
Sometimes they're just tennis balls or pink X's of tape on a blue screen
4:00
So it was really nice for all of us to be together, and it was very emotional because it was the day a lot of us wrapped
4:08
No, I cannot tell you anything about the new Snow White movie
4:13
But if I could, I would tell you everything about the new Snow White movie because I'm
4:18
very excited about it. But I did get a text message yesterday that the first rough cut is finished, which is
4:25
so exciting which means we just in the process of test screening and seeing what needs to be reshot or ADR and redone And that was such a wild experience from start to finish
4:37
I can't wait to share it with people. And it's going to be in theaters in March of 2024
4:43
I think of all the characters I've played, Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games, The Ballad
4:50
of Songbirds and Steaks has, let me say that three times fast, right
4:54
She has the most incredible beauty journey because she's got the looks in the hob
5:01
Fans of the book will understand what I'm talking about. But, you know, she's got looks when she's performing
5:04
She's got looks, you know. And then in the game, she's very, you know, dirty and sweaty and all these things
5:10
And then there's a scene in a lake where I get to be completely natural. So I think that was probably my favorite beauty journey because I got to do so many different looks on that set
5:21
And her beauty and her vanity is very important to her. And the makeup artist and the makeup designer, Sherri Lawrence, and I really came up with a story for each thing that she would put on her face
5:33
So, like, you know, her lipstick was made out of beetle juice and all of these different things
5:38
Because you have to justify all of these makeup trends that she's doing in the confines of a kind of, you know, post-apocalyptic setting
5:47
A very dystopian setting. Bye Who, What, Where. Thank you for hanging out with me on set
