Did you catch Anderson’s sneakers?? — MORE BS

I really like the Met Gala. I’ve been fortunate sufficient to go ten occasions, which flooring me each time I say it. The most enjoyable I ever had at a Met was probably in 2018 once I went with Prabal Gurung. Not solely is Prabal a good friend and an unimaginable designer, however that evening he dressed just a few different folks — some I knew and a few I didn’t — and all of us received prepared and rode the sprinter van collectively. Arriving at a Met alone was at all times intimidating to me, so going with a bit group at all times made the evening a bit extra relaxed, like going to a celebration with pals.

Another enjoyable Met was my final one in 2021. That was my tenth 12 months, and I wished to have a bit additional enjoyable with it. I wore a blonde wig and discovered that my hair is a significant bodily identifier as a result of nobody, not even folks I’ve been pals with for years, knew who I used to be. All evening, I discovered myself trying into confused faces and repeating, “…it’s Hailee!” I’ll always remember attempting to get that wig off, both. I couldn’t discover what the hairstylist gave me to interrupt down the wig glue, so I ended up dousing my scalp with vodka from the minibar in my lodge room at 3am. What a approach to exit.

Every 12 months since, I textual content my good friend Sophie to verify we’re each “sat” and prepared for the rapid-fire trade of texts as we watch the reside stream. I really like that you just had been all locked in, too. This remark within the chat made me lol:

These are precise screenshots of a number of the texts that had been exchanged final evening…
