Steph Shep Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Her Gold Gala Red Carpet Prep

To avoid red carpet emergencies, Shepherd recommends having "the number of a great tailor." She also gives her outfits a test run. "I always try and sit and walk and photograph my look with flash during a fitting so I am not surprised the night of," she says.

Her handbag is also chock-full of problem-solving essentials. "I always keep a mint," she reveals. "I always keep an oil blotter paper or powder puff, a lip, and a portable charger. Lately, I've been keeping a matcha lozenge from Beekeeper's Naturals for a little hit of energy."
