“NCIS”‘s resident goth is played by Pauley Perrette, who as Abby Sciuto favors black and tattoos, but for the new issue of CBS Watch, she goes glam. ET is behind the scenes as she makes her first visit to Paris — the fashion capitol and tries on some amazing outfits..
For her CBS Watch cover story, Pauley reinterprets impressionist paintings with a twist at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée.
“Sitting in my bed and looking at [the Eiffel Tower] is crazy. Like, ‘Wow, look, that’s the … we’re in Paris. I didn’t want to leave home, and now I don’t want to leave Paris,” says the reluctant traveler.
Among the paintings that Pauley will reinterpret are “Lise with a Parsol” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, “A Bar at the Folies Bergere” by Edourad Manet, “Young Woman in Grey Reclining” by Berthe Morisot and “Dancer in Front of a Window” by Edgar Degas, which is the one for which Pauley had to don a tutu.
Even though her photo shoot kept her very busy, Pauley managed to make time to visit several houses of worship.
“I already church-hopped a couple of churches around here,” Pauley said. “That’s what I would do if I had another day; hit every church in Paris. All of them. It’s a lot of candle lighting.”
“NCIS” airs tonight at 8 p.m. on CBS. Pauley’s cover issue of CBS Watch is on stands now, but check out the video for a sneak peek.
