Lily Gladstone had to be 100 percent camera ready before she could pose for a portrait with Tim Cook … yes, even the head honcho himself has to acquiesce to an Oscars glam team.
The actress — who was up for Best Actress last night, but lost to Emma Stone — stepped out for Apple’s Oscars after-party at the Sunset Tower Sunday evening … and she was hobnobbing with Apple’s CEO, even stepping in to take some photos with him.
Before the cameras could fully snap away, though … her touch-up crew had to constantly come over and adjust things on her — which left Timbo awkwardly waiting right by her side.
Check out the video, obtained by TMZ … TC is trying to figure out what to do with himself as Lily’s team keeps doing its work … moving her dress around, fixing her hair, etc. You can tell he’s a bit of an afterthought here — and he’s just there to make her look good!
Tim was notably unbothered … he just smiled and stood to the side of the chaos. Eventually, Tim and Lily were able to pose for a series of pics — so, mission accomplished.
Understandable that Lily would warrant this type of attention on Oscars night — she was one of the front-runners during the ceremony … but even after losing out to Emma, it looks like people still were hyper-focused on her and wanting to chat her up. Tim … not so much.
A lot of folks feel like LG actually got snubbed out of a statuette … but we’ll leave that be.
Everyone from “Killers of the Flower Moon” left empty-handed, in fact, but hey … at least they have each other — not to mention a bunch of handlers who’ll jump in at a moment’s notice.
Better luck next time!
