0
SPEAKER_00
I m a little sniffly.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like this happens to me every time I go to a big event.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m not even sick, but my body is just broken down in a way that vaguely resembles an illness.
0
SPEAKER_00
OK, so I m not like fully ill.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t have a fever.
0
SPEAKER_00
None of that.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I have a slight headache, a sniffly nose, a sore throat.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m half sick.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just got back from New York.
0
SPEAKER_00
Mm.
0
SPEAKER_00
And last night at one in the morning, I was in New York for the Met Gala, and now I m back.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it was a fucking phenomenal experience.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was my fourth Met Gala.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was truly incredible.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was just kind of a dream come true.
0
SPEAKER_00
I loved my outfit.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have the most phenomenal team.
0
SPEAKER_00
I got to spend a lot of time with them.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it was just a beautiful, beautiful weekend.
0
SPEAKER_00
And that s the way that it looks online, too.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like you look at the Met Gala through the lens of the Internet and it looks like this dreamy experience.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, all these people dressed up in beautiful outfits, walking the carpet and going in to the event that is somewhat unknown, but assumed to be delightful, which it is.
0
SPEAKER_00
The event as a whole is truly a special experience.
0
SPEAKER_00
However,
0
SPEAKER_00
As with all things, there s also a chaotic side to it, and that s what I want to talk about today.
0
SPEAKER_00
The Met Gala looks gorgeous and is gorgeous, but somebody s got to be honest and talk about the shit that happens during Met Gala week that s chaotic.
0
SPEAKER_00
Every year, I have a different slew of issues.
0
SPEAKER_00
Two years ago, I had a tonsil stone.
0
SPEAKER_00
Was it two years ago?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I think it was two years ago.
0
SPEAKER_00
Two years ago, I had a tonsil stone.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I was very self-conscious that my breath reeked of tonsil stone.
0
SPEAKER_00
If you don t know what that smells like, to be honest, I don t know how to describe it.
0
SPEAKER_00
It feels like something s rotting in your throat, and it tastes like shit.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it s sort of inconclusive whether or not people around you can smell it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think if you have a really big, severe tonsil stone, people can smell it.
0
SPEAKER_00
If it s not that big, it s not that severe.
0
SPEAKER_00
People can t smell it.
0
SPEAKER_00
It depends.
0
SPEAKER_00
Regardless, it s very stressful, especially when you re doing red carpet interviews and talking to a lot of celebrities.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s like, yeah, I don t really want my breath to stink.
0
SPEAKER_00
That was a chaotic moment for me a few years ago.
0
SPEAKER_00
One year, I tried on my look for the first time the day before the Met Gala.
0
SPEAKER_00
Usually, I at least get a fitting a few weeks before, so I m sort of familiar with what I m wearing and I m confident in how it fits, et cetera.
0
SPEAKER_00
One year, I tried it on the day before, and we were making tweaks the day before, and there was almost no time to make revisions or edits.
0
SPEAKER_00
That was chaotic.
0
SPEAKER_00
Every year, there are different chaotic moments.
0
SPEAKER_00
Those are two examples from prior years, but this year had its own slew of chaotic moments, and I am gonna go through them for you, and we re gonna discuss them.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let s start with losing my voice.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m not kidding.
0
SPEAKER_00
Losing my voice, okay, two days before the Met.
0
SPEAKER_00
I kid you not, I fully lost my voice.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I lose my voice a lot.
0
SPEAKER_00
for an unknown reason.
0
SPEAKER_00
It could be genetic, just how my throat is.
0
SPEAKER_00
I could have undiagnosed nodes in my throat.
0
SPEAKER_00
Look that up if you don t know what it is.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s like these little growths on your throat that can form if you overuse your vocal cords, I think.
0
SPEAKER_00
That might be a wrong description, but it s something like somewhat like that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I could have that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know why I lose my voice so much, but I do.
0
SPEAKER_00
I went to my friend Derek s birthday party two nights before the mat.
0
SPEAKER_00
And this party was in a very loud room.
0
SPEAKER_00
And there were a lot of people that I knew.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I was doing a lot of chatting.
0
SPEAKER_00
But when you re chatting in a loud room, you re not really chatting, you re screaming.
0
SPEAKER_00
So for like two hours, I was screaming at this birthday party.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it was delightful in the moment.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I knew while I was screaming that it was not going to be good.
0
SPEAKER_00
I felt my voice going.
0
SPEAKER_00
Well, I was on to something because I got home that night and I realized, yeah, my voice is gone.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I drank some water, went to bed and crossed my fingers that I d wake up in the morning and it would be better because sometimes that s the case.
0
SPEAKER_00
Well, I woke up in the morning.
0
SPEAKER_00
And guess what?
0
SPEAKER_00
My voice was even worse than it was the night before.
0
SPEAKER_00
At this point, I have like 32 hours until the Met Gala.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m not feeling so good about it.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I start ordering ginger tea with honey and lemon every few hours and hoping for the best.
0
SPEAKER_00
By that evening, my voice was back, but it was still a little gravelly.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was still a little scratchy.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I went to bed that night, woke up the next morning, and thank God it s back.
0
SPEAKER_00
I knew deep down that the universe was going to have my back.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was like, there s no way the universe would do this to me.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, there s just no way.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I ve been taking good care of my throat.
0
SPEAKER_00
Please, universe above, give me my voice back.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I got it back.
0
SPEAKER_00
Thank God.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was so afraid.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because I do the interviews, and that consists of approximately four hours of talking with no breaks, pretty much.
0
SPEAKER_00
Very short breaks in between.
0
SPEAKER_00
because I m talking to people as they arrive on the carpet.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it s a little loud.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s a little chaotic on the carpet.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I m talking a bit louder than usual.
0
SPEAKER_00
I need to talk a bit louder than usual so that the person that I m interviewing can hear me.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, it is critical to do that job with a voice, a voice that projects at that.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so thankfully, I got my voice back.
0
SPEAKER_00
Listen, say what you want about simple remedies when it comes to, you know, certain physical elements.
0
SPEAKER_00
But fuck, ginger tea with lemon and honey, it expedited the process of getting my voice back because I m very familiar with losing my voice.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I normally don t really do anything to remedy it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just kind of let it come back naturally.
0
SPEAKER_00
But my God, it worked.
0
SPEAKER_00
It really worked.
0
SPEAKER_00
I mean, did I drink like nine of them?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I think it worked.
0
SPEAKER_00
So crisis averted.
0
SPEAKER_00
But it was a close call.
0
SPEAKER_00
Next, I was breaking out the whole week before the mat.
0
SPEAKER_00
Just unhappy skin.
0
SPEAKER_00
My skin has not been happy.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think I know why.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m not 100% sure, but I think I know why.
0
SPEAKER_00
I went like three days without doing any skincare a few weeks back and my skin was so happy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like my skin clearly appreciated the break.
0
SPEAKER_00
It cleared up so much.
0
SPEAKER_00
It looked so good and so healthy and so happy.
0
SPEAKER_00
And in that moment I thought to myself, wait a minute, maybe my skin doesn t want any product right now.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it doesn t want moisturizer.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it doesn t want toner.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it doesn t want oil.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it wants nothing.
0
SPEAKER_00
So let me give my skin a break because it s reacting so well to nothing right now that I m going to just keep this going.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I went like a week and a half without using any products, nothing.
0
SPEAKER_00
I would maybe lightly moisturize if my skin felt dry, but that was about it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I wasn t using any other products.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, so that quickly ended up making my skin very unhappy.
0
SPEAKER_00
My skin was very dehydrated.
0
SPEAKER_00
I started breaking out.
0
SPEAKER_00
I started developing clogged pores again.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so I realized, okay, you know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
This isn t working.
0
SPEAKER_00
This isn t working.
0
SPEAKER_00
The timing was a little off for me because once I realized it wasn t working and I tried to pivot and start using skincare regularly again,
0
SPEAKER_00
It was a week before the Met Gala.
0
SPEAKER_00
And this is obviously a very photographed event.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so I always try to get my skin in the happiest, healthiest place I can get it to, just because that tends to look better with makeup on top of it on a red carpet.
0
SPEAKER_00
My skin was not in its healthiest, happiest place by any means.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was actually very angry at me.
0
SPEAKER_00
And unfortunately, that did not go away in time for the Met.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I actually had
0
SPEAKER_00
Quite a few zits going on.
0
SPEAKER_00
And yeah, my skin just kind of looked dehydrated.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think we remedied it pretty well for the carpet.
0
SPEAKER_00
My makeup artist is amazing and, you know, did her magic.
0
SPEAKER_00
But that was definitely kind of chaotic and stressful.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was a little bit bummed out about that.
0
SPEAKER_00
OK, next, let s talk about my really long nails.
0
SPEAKER_00
So for this Met Gala and for most Met Galas, I get really long nails put on, like really long.
0
SPEAKER_00
I like having somewhat long nails, but not this long, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
These are so long that you can t do shit anymore.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can t type on your phone.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can t wipe your ass.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re that long.
0
SPEAKER_00
And for the sake of my well-being, I decided to get my long nails applied the day of the Met, like two hours before I leave for the event, in hopes that I wouldn t really have much to do once the nails were applied.
0
SPEAKER_00
like I wouldn t have to poop.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
0
SPEAKER_00
I wouldn t have to go on my phone very much.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because on the day of the Met, it s like, I sit in glam and get my hair and makeup done.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then I go to the carpet and I do the interviews.
0
SPEAKER_00
All of those things I can do easily with nails.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s doing work on the phone or on the computer that s challenging.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s going to the bathroom or showering that s challenging.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so I was like, well, if I get them a
1
SPEAKER_00
applied while I m getting my hair and makeup done the day of the Met, then I won t have to struggle with these nails as much and I can just remove them that night once the event is over.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, lucky for me, I got the nails applied and immediately after they were applied, my body decided that I had to poop.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yep, really bad.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I tell my whole team, I m like, you guys, I don t know what to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, I have to shit.
1
SPEAKER_00
My nails are so long.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, I don t know what I m going to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
And there were multiple people on my team who were like, I will help you wipe.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, no, no.
1
SPEAKER_00
But that just proves how great my team is, like how much they take care of me and how much we love each other is that they were like, I will wipe for you.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I have a lot of moms on my team.
1
SPEAKER_00
And they were like, Emma, we ll wipe.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, no, we can t do that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t let you do that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m 22.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fuck, I m almost 23.
1
SPEAKER_00
May 22nd, mark your calendar, my birthday.
1
SPEAKER_00
Mommy s birthday, May 22nd.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I was like, that is actually, that s too far.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, but also like what should I do?
1
SPEAKER_00
Like what s the recommendation?
1
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, totally too much information, but the method ended up being to wad up so much toilet paper that I didn t really have to apply that much pressure with my hand directly.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like I could kind of
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, if you use enough toilet paper, you can wipe in a way where you re not applying as much pressure and it s very efficient.
1
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, you didn t wanna know that, but that was horrible.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next chaotic thing that happened.
1
SPEAKER_00
After I finished getting ready for the Met, I had a few photo shoots I had to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
And one of them was for Lancome.
1
SPEAKER_00
We were gonna do a little quick photo shoot with some of the makeup products that we used in the makeup look.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, one of the photos that they wanted me to get was a photo of me applying mascara.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, normally, that wouldn t be a big deal.
1
SPEAKER_00
However, the most efficient way to shoot it was to have me apply the mascara without looking in a mirror.
1
SPEAKER_00
Why?
1
SPEAKER_00
Because they needed to set up lighting and have their cameras out and all this, so there wasn t really room for me to have a mirror, and they didn t really want the mirror in the frame.
1
SPEAKER_00
What made the most sense was for me to just use spatial awareness to try to apply the mascara without looking into any mirror or anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, this normally wouldn t be a big deal.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like, okay, yeah, we could do that.
1
SPEAKER_00
We could apply mascara without looking into a mirror.
1
SPEAKER_00
And worst case scenario, we fuck up and we just wipe it off and whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
This is a higher pressure situation because my makeup is done.
1
SPEAKER_00
My makeup artist had just spent, what, two and a half hours on my makeup?
1
SPEAKER_00
If I get a smudge of mascara on my face, that could put us behind 30 minutes.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the day of the Met, it is like minute to minute.
1
SPEAKER_00
There s so much to do in such a short amount of time that everybody s just trying to get shit done as quickly as possible.
1
SPEAKER_00
And like anything that goes wrong could throw off the whole schedule.
1
SPEAKER_00
And there s a very strict arrival time, especially for me, because I do the interviews and I need to be on the carpet early so that I can start interviewing people as they show up.
1
SPEAKER_00
So the thought of me getting mascara on my face when I already have my makeup look done was gut-wrenching for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was freaked the fuck out.
1
SPEAKER_00
However, again, by some miracle, I did not touch my face with the mascara.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was worried, and I was fully touching my eyelash with the mascara wand.
1
SPEAKER_00
It wasn t like I was miming it in front of my face.
1
SPEAKER_00
I fully, for a lot of the shots, had the mascara touching my eyelashes.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was frightening, but I was careful enough somehow that it didn t end up touching my face.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, fast forward to the red carpet, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
The thing about many red carpet looks, especially very fashion-forward events, is that a lot of the looks are very challenging to manage, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
For example, you might have seen, if you kept up with the Met Gala this year, Tyla, for example, her outfit was absolutely incredible, but it was so stiff that she couldn t move her knees enough to walk up the stairs
1
SPEAKER_00
on the carpet, so they had to lift her in between each stair, like the people working at the Mecala had to carry her up the stairs.
1
SPEAKER_00
Or with my dress, to lead us to my chaotic moment, with my dress, it had this beautiful long train behind it.
1
SPEAKER_00
But in order for the train to photograph properly, we have to readjust the train every step I take to make sure that it looks perfect.
1
SPEAKER_00
So every single step that I took on the carpet, the train had to be moved and perfected to make sure that it photographed properly.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I mean, my train was nothing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like some people have these insane trains that require five people to carry.
1
SPEAKER_00
Mine was nothing.
1
SPEAKER_00
I only needed one person to help me.
1
SPEAKER_00
But even that was a lot to manage and was very stressful, but it was worth it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Next, I unfortunately did not drink water all day the day of the Met Gala and by the time I was on the carpet doing the interviews, I had a full fucking migraine and I get really bad migraines.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn t drink any water because I didn t want to have to go pee on the carpet because I can t really step away and go to the bathroom.
1
SPEAKER_00
There s kind of no time to do that because
1
SPEAKER_00
There s so much happening very fast that there s no, yeah, there s just no time to go.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, if I told the team at Vogue, hey, I have to go to the bathroom, they d be like, no problem.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I don t want to leave because I don t want to miss something.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s not like anyone s holding me there captive, but it s like, I don t want to miss the action.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t want to miss a moment that could end up being incredible.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it s like me putting pressure myself not to go to the bathroom.
1
SPEAKER_00
So anyway, I didn t drink any water all day, barely any, and it caught up to me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m, you know, an hour into doing interviews and my head starts pounding.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I drink some water, I have some Tylenol, but my God, it did not go away.
1
SPEAKER_00
I d say for like 75% of those interviews, I had a pounding headache.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I was having such a great time that I was able to sort of compartmentalize my discomfort from what I was doing.
1
SPEAKER_00
But that was definitely a huge bummer.
1
SPEAKER_00
A little bit chaotic.
1
SPEAKER_00
Speaking of pain, also during the interviews, because I m standing there for like four hours talking to everybody as they come in, or whoever wants to talk to me as they come in, my feet start to hurt.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, I thought ahead this year and I asked Jean-Paul Gaultier to make me a short little kitten heel so that I could change out of my high heels into my little kitten heels that are more comfortable so that it d be a little bit more comfortable when I m standing on my feet for like four hours.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, that worked out pretty good.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was in the kitten heels for, I d say, the first 75% of the interviews.
1
SPEAKER_00
But for the last hour, I was like, no, I can t.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t be in any shoe anymore.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t do it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I need to take my shoes off.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I was so mortified because I was like, I m getting too old for this.
1
SPEAKER_00
When I first started doing interviews, I was 19, I think.
1
SPEAKER_00
and I remember I took my shoes off and I changed into these like slides that did not match my outfit just so that I could be in a flat shoe and I was standing on a little apple box like a little wooden box so that I looked a bit taller and that was cute when I was 19 but then when I was like 20 it was like okay this is starting to get a little less cute but like it s still kind of cute and also I remember that year like my dress was so long you couldn t even see my feet so me not wearing shoes was kind of not noticeable
1
SPEAKER_00
And then my third year, I changed into loafers, which were comfortable.
1
SPEAKER_00
So that was good.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that was classy.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I never took those off.
1
SPEAKER_00
I kept those on the whole night.
1
SPEAKER_00
That was good.
1
SPEAKER_00
That was very respectable of me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I knew I had to keep my shoes on that year because I was like, OK, I m getting a little too old for this now.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now at 22, year number four, it s like, girl, you got to keep the shoes on.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like you re a professional.
1
SPEAKER_00
Stop.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I could not keep them on.
1
SPEAKER_00
My feet hurt so bad and my back hurts so bad.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was like, I am taking these off and I m standing on a box with no shoes.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have to do it.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I did it.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I wasn t proud of it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
I wasn t proud of it, but I had to do it for just a few minutes just to give my feet a rest.
1
SPEAKER_00
And nobody judged me.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was actually amazing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Nobody judged me.
1
SPEAKER_00
In fact, I remember I was standing on the box and all of a sudden Cardi B walks up in her big, big, big, big, big, big, massive, massive dress.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
This dress, she said it weighed more than her.
1
SPEAKER_00
This dress was huge.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
It required, I think, seven people to help her carry it in.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like it had this
1
SPEAKER_00
insane train it was massive like it was so huge okay this imagine that this huge heavy dress around cardi b and cardi b is just this like tiny cute little thing in the middle of it okay very dramatic very drama whatever i interview her while she s in this dress okay about to walk the carpet her dress was so big that in order to interview her i had to step off my little box and like step
2
SPEAKER_00
off to the side and reach over her dress with my microphone and try to get it close to her mouth.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was wild.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was awesome.
2
SPEAKER_00
But the best part was when she was walking away.
2
SPEAKER_00
Her dress is so huge and heavy.
2
SPEAKER_00
part of her dress was dragging on the ground and that part of her dress that was dragging on the ground somehow like absorbed my apple box that I was standing on that wooden box that I was standing on and it just got pulled away dragged away in her dress somewhere like that is how big her dress was that literally this fucking entire box got lost in her dress
2
SPEAKER_00
And they eventually like found the box, like kicked off to the side somewhere, like one of the people working at the Met found the box and like kicked it off to the side because it like fell out from the dress at some point.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was wild.
2
SPEAKER_00
I could not believe it.
2
SPEAKER_00
That was unbelievable.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next, when I got back to the hotel after the event, it was time to go out to after parties and I made the mistake of briefly taking off my look, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
At this point, I was wearing a shorter version of the dress that I wore on the red carpet because
2
SPEAKER_00
For the last two years, I ve had two different looks.
2
SPEAKER_00
One look that I wear on the red carpet and then one look that I wear that s a bit more comfortable, a bit more casual, a bit more understated for the interview portion of my evening.
2
SPEAKER_00
So usually the second outfit that I change into is much more comfortable and that was absolutely the case here.
2
SPEAKER_00
However, comfortable for me is like everything s really loose.
2
SPEAKER_00
Everything s really soft.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I like things to be absurdly comfortable.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like to a point where it s not cute.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like it s like so loose.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I love loose clothes so much and I love loose clothes more every year.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like
2
SPEAKER_00
what I packed for my trip to New York was loose jeans, loose trousers, like loose, everything loose, loose, loose, loose, loose.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love loose clothes.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s what I m the most comfortable in, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
Listen, this second dress was gorgeous and somewhat comfortable, but it s not that comfortable.
2
SPEAKER_00
Listen, it s a corset dress, and these tight tights and tight gloves, it looks gorgeous.
2
SPEAKER_00
And all things considered, it s very comfortable.
2
SPEAKER_00
But in Emma, standard, no.
2
SPEAKER_00
Comfortable for me is like really loose baggy jeans and like a baggy t-shirt.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s comfortable for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
I do not have bravery when it comes to uncomfortable clothes.
2
SPEAKER_00
So when I get back to the hotel room after the event ends, I m still a bit hungry.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so I decide, you know what, I m going to take my look off, get into a robe and eat a snack before I got to after parties.
2
SPEAKER_00
Well, once I took it off, I was like, oh wow, I really don t want to put it back on.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I told Jared like a month ago that I didn t need a more comfortable look for the after parties because I loved the little mini dress version of the actual Met Gala dress so much that I would just wear that out.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I lied because, well I didn t lie because in the moment I thought it was going to be true.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I spoke incorrectly because I ended up wanting a more comfortable outfit so bad.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I told Jared, please can I just change into one of my cozy outfits?
2
SPEAKER_00
He was like, Emma, no, we can t do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so I was like, okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
So then I changed back into the uncomfortable look.
2
SPEAKER_00
Listen, it s not even that uncomfortable.
2
SPEAKER_00
I shouldn t even describe it as the uncomfortable look, but for me, in the moment, I was like, oh my God, I m so exhausted.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve been on my feet for so many hours.
2
SPEAKER_00
I want to be in my cozy, squishy clothes.
2
SPEAKER_00
But it was worth it because I love that look so much, the little mini dress, and it was so cute that, I don t know, it s fine.
2
SPEAKER_00
The mini dress version was worth me wanting to be in my PJs, but not being able to.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was worth it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know what was interesting?
2
SPEAKER_00
When it came to the after parties this year, I was overwhelmed because there were so many that I didn t know which one to go to.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, there were probably 10 parties, 10 after parties, all over New York.
2
SPEAKER_00
And
2
SPEAKER_00
Everyone is sort of asking around like, hey, which one are you going to?
2
SPEAKER_00
Hey, which one are you going to?
2
SPEAKER_00
And everyone was like, I don t know because there s 10 of them.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like nobody could decide which one they wanted to go to because there were 10 great options.
2
SPEAKER_00
So it was like, okay, I don t really know.
2
SPEAKER_00
Which one s the best?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I don t even know how to narrow it down.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then nobody ended up communicating very well about which one was the one.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so it was very hard to figure out where to find everybody that was just at the Met.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because that s kind of what s fun about the after parties is like, oh, we were all hanging out at the Met.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now we get to hang out some more at the after parties.
2
SPEAKER_00
But there were so many that everybody was separated.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it was kind of sad.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, nobody could find each other because there were too many.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that was kind of funny to me.
2
SPEAKER_00
I was like, what a weird problem to have that there are too many after parties.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I actually think there is such a thing because if there s 10 of them and nobody can agree on which one s the best, then chances are you re not going to see your friends
2
SPEAKER_00
out or not even your friends you d see your friends out because you re in contact you re on text but people that you only see once a year at the Met you re not going to probably meet up with them or find them because you might not have their number etc etc but that s like the fun part about the after parties is like oh I m going to see all these people that I only see once a year but then when there s 10 and nobody knows which one to go to and no one s
2
SPEAKER_00
making one big group chat with everyone who s at the Met.
2
SPEAKER_00
It just, it s impossible to figure out who s going where and where the majority of the people are.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it s sad, because not everyone can hang out in that way.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so, yeah, it was kind of a bummer.
2
SPEAKER_00
So that s kind of a funny tidbit about it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I really didn t go out much.
2
SPEAKER_00
I went to, I would say, two and a half parties.
2
SPEAKER_00
I went to one that was great.
2
SPEAKER_00
Actually, I went to two that were great and one that was really bad.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I was down to keep going, but then, I don t know, it was like 3.30 and I was like, I m not going to accomplish much more.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I think I ve done it.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, I need to go take a shower and go to bed.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that s what I did.
2
SPEAKER_00
But actually on the way home from the last after party,
2
SPEAKER_00
I was actually not super drunk.
2
SPEAKER_00
I had only had like two drinks.
2
SPEAKER_00
I was feeling very normal and honestly sober.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I just sort of started to take my outfit off.
2
SPEAKER_00
At that point, I was so tired and I just wanted to get into bed as quickly as possible.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I was like, let me just expedite the process by starting to remove my outfit in the car.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I took my gloves off, put them in my bag.
2
SPEAKER_00
I started chewing my nails off.
2
SPEAKER_00
in the car which was very disturbing for the people who were with me they absolutely hated watching it but i was like gnawing my nails off uh so that was really disturbing and then i don t know i was just slowly but surely like taking everything off because i assumed that there weren t really going to be any cameras outside of the hotel
2
SPEAKER_00
Well, I was wrong.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so I did have to put my hands into fists to hide the fact that I had ripped my nails off just in case a photo was taken of me.
2
SPEAKER_00
I haven t seen this photo surface, so maybe I got away with it.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I also can t be sure.
2
SPEAKER_00
So
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, that s it.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s sort of all of my chaotic Met Gala moments of this year.
2
SPEAKER_00
I truly had a phenomenal time, though, and it s always such an honor to be allowed back.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m just so mind-blown every year that they have me back to do the interviews, to walk the carpet, and to eat the dinner with everybody, and watch the performance with everybody.
2
SPEAKER_00
It is such an honor for me, and every single year, I m even more grateful than the last.
2
SPEAKER_00
yeah it was just it was such a phenomenal year and I had great people around me and I don t know it was just it was delightful um and thank you to all of you who said kind words about my interviews that I did with Vogue or my look that I made with Jean-Paul Gaultier and Cartier and Jared my stylist
2
SPEAKER_00
Thank you to all of you who sent me any sort of love about that look.
2
SPEAKER_00
I really appreciate it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it was this sort of, you know, baby that we all put our love and heart into.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so it just means so much to me and to them that some of you resonated with it.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I really appreciate that.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you know, that s all I have for this week.
2
SPEAKER_00
Clearly I need to go to bed or something because my nose has gotten like progressively more clogged throughout this episode.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I feel like I am becoming sick now.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I think in the beginning of this episode, I was not sick.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then by the end of it, I m now ill.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I need to handle that and I will, but I love you all and I appreciate you all.
2
SPEAKER_00
