Costume designer Luke Reichle has good, basic advice for his star clients as they get ready for awards shows: Lay out your outfit in advance. Preparation is the best way to avoid last-minute, red-carpet emergencies.

His advice isn’t always heeded. He recalled stitching one actress into a dress in a limo on the way to the Golden Globes a few years ago.

But now, Reichle, 56, has to follow his own advice. He was nominated in the best host category at the Streamy Awards, where he’ll face off against Larry King, among others.

The Streamys, which honors web productions, will take place Feb. 17 at the Hollywood Palladium.

Reichle writes and hosts the web series “Secrets of the Red Carpet” as a side job. His normal job is costume designer on shows such as ABC’s “Castle,” and he also dresses stars for awards shows.

Reichle said his preparations have already begun with a visit to the dermatologist, and he’ll have his self-designed suit laid out in advance.

“I practice what I preach,” he said. “For someone like me who’s not used to going to these things, the more prepared I am the better.”

Big Score at Lakers Game

Die-hard Lakers fan Randy Fifield recently got a taste of what it was like to be the opening act for her beloved basketball team.

The managing director at West L.A.’s residential development venture Century West Partners was called onto the court before the Jan. 25 Lakers game at Staples Center to receive an outstanding Woman of Business award from Comerica Bank and the Los Angeles Lakers. She and one other honoree earned the distinction in the Best of L.A. Women’s Business Awards program.

Fifield, 46, has helped spearhead developments such as the Beverly West luxury condominium tower and is working on the construction of three luxury rental projects around Los Angeles today.

She said she was honored to receive the reward – and to fulfill a desire to stand on the Lakers court. But it took a little while for the whole thing to sink in.

“When they first contacted me, I thought I was being punked,” she said. “And before I accepted the award, I asked, ‘Do I have to make a three-point shot to receive the trophy?’ ”
