Anna Nicole Smith PT 2: Playboy, Princess Diana, Hillary Clinton and Pure Chaos … Then Came the Friendship That Forever Changed Our Lives.

In our special Anna Nicole Smith series, we take our Undressed-inistas back to the moment our lives changed forever: the day Pol' first met Anna Nicole Smith and the friendship that inspired our book, Anna Nicole Smith: Portrait of an Icon. We reveal why we felt compelled to write our tribute after watching strangers and reporters publish books about a woman they never truly knew, while we were quietly grieving the loss of one of our closest friends.

We share how Pol’s career was already soaring—designing for political royalty including Hillary Clinton, California First Lady Sharon Davis, Sharon Stone, Saudi princesses, and even preparing for a meeting with Princess Diana—when an unexpected call from E! stylist Lisa Thayer changed everything. Anna Nicole needed a gown for the Academy Awards after repeatedly landing on worst-dressed lists, but Pol' hesitated. How would dressing the world’s most talked-about blonde bombshell fit into a couture empire built on presidents, royalty, and Hollywood legends?

Then comes the unforgettable first meeting. Pol' walks into Anna’s iconic leopard-and-velvet-filled mansion carrying gowns, sketch pads, and absolutely no idea what to expect. Moments later, Anna descends the staircase in a fuzzy pink robe and slippers, clutching her beloved dog Sugar Pie, immediately asking, “Why are you making me get up this early?” What began as a fitting quickly transformed into something far more meaningful.

We relive the electric chemistry between designer and muse as Anna grabbed Pol’s hand, declared, “You’re not like the others,” and entrusted him with creating the Academy Awards look that would reinvent her image forever. Beneath the tabloid headlines and Playboy persona was a brilliant, vulnerable woman desperate to be seen for who she truly was.

The episode also dives into Patrik’s first nerve-racking meeting with Anna. After hearing endlessly about “Anna,” he discovers that the mysterious best friend he has to impress is none other than Anna Nicole Smith herself. Anna instantly welcomes him into her inner circle—but not without issuing one unforgettable warning: “If you break Pol’s heart, I’m going to fucking kill you.”

We laugh about Pol' secretly evaluating Anna while Anna was clearly evaluating him, the surreal experience of entering her famous home, and the realization that the Oscars gown marked the beginning of a friendship that would last until her death. We also reflect on how Anna’s loss, following the devastating death of her son Daniel and the relentless public scrutiny surrounding her life, forever altered our world.

By the end of the episode, we realize that what started as a couture appointment became one of the most meaningful relationships of our lives. Anna wasn’t just an icon, a Playmate, or a reality star—she was our friend. And decades later, she still lives in our hearts, in our memories, and even in Patrik’s phone under the name “Hot Smoochie Lips.”

This episode is a glamorous, emotional, and deeply personal chapter in our ongoing journey through friendship, fashion, fame, and the woman behind the legend: Anna Nicole Smith.

Best Quote: “She wasn’t just Anna Nicole Smith—she was our friend.”
