The Met Gala is a flurry of madness, with looks after looks and what feels like endless amount of chaos. Rachel Zegler was able to find some calm before the storm—with her dog, Lenny—before getting ready at the Pierre Hotel with the help of her team and Michael Kors, who dressed her in baby blue for the big day. “He’s been championing me and supporting my career for years,” says Zegler, who attended with the Kors crew for her second Met Gala ever, and got glammed up by Dior Beauty. Keep scrolling to see her mini-diary from before, during, and after the big night.
Snuggling with my dog, who adorably woke me up about four hours earlier than what should be considered legal.
Versus the reality of “snuggling” my dog in the morning. He just turned 1. He hasn’t figured out how to be sweet yet. Happy Met day!
A sweet note from Michael before the big day. He’s been championing me and supporting my career for years, so it meant so much to me when he asked if I would represent him at the Met!
The beautiful jewels from Chopard, picked out by my stylist Sarah Slutsky Tooley, who is the reason all of this came together so seamlessly.
An array of Dior Beauty—the calm before the storm.
I love when my makeup artist Allan Avendaño gets to work on my face.
Just a girl and her custom Michael Kors gown—making sure we cut my hair to just the right length.
Off we go! The nerves are kicking in, but I am so excited to celebrate and see everyone’s looks tonight.
My favorite red carpet look—thank you to my team and Michael and the entire Michael Kors team for making this all happen.
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!
The final look of the night: a sweatshirt, made by Kors, of course. Gotta stay cozy for the after-after party.
