Welcome to Sex, Body and Soul. I'm Kate Roberts, founder of the body agency, and on this show,

we talk about the marvel that is our bodies, what they can do and what they need to thrive.

Ladies out there, our time is now. Let's get to it.

Our next guest is the incredibly talented Oscar-nominated Emmy Award-winning costume designer to the

stars, Ellen Mogernick. There isn't an A-lister she hasn't worked with in her career spanning three

decades. As a top Hollywood costume designer, Ellen's passion for contemporary design has had an impact on motion picture style.

She has a long history of working with Michael Douglas and designed that infamous white dress

for Sharon Stone and Basic Instinct.

The list of prominent filmmakers Ellen has designed for is extensive.

Steven Soderberg, Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, Tony and Ridley Scott, and JJ Abrams.

The talent she has costumed reads like a who's who of Hollywood. Angelina Joe Lee, Diane Keaton,

Glenn Close, Sharon Stone, Paula Patton, Catherine Zeta Jones, Susan Sarandon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker,

my personal favourite, Sienna Miller, Sandra Bullock, Diane Lane, Michael Douglas of course,

Matt Damon, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, Denzel Washington, Dakota Johnson, the list just goes

on. Her recent Oscar nod is for Oppenheimer and she's received

critical acclaim for the TV series Bridgeton with all those gorgeous tiny corsets and patterns.

We talk about just what it takes to have such a career in the entertainment business, especially

as a woman and that endless search for

body perfect.

Ellen, my darling, welcome to the show.

Oh, I'm so happy to be here, Kate.

Thank you for having me.
