away hey everybody this is really Porter
and this is my third and final fitting
for the Met Gala with the blondes and
we're doing an Egyptian look as you can
see
[Music]
you know I just gave them the app we
just gave them the idea of Egyptian and
they came up with this we had gone to
the blonde show for Fashion Week
for me their work truly is the
personification of modern day camp in
the most highly elevated way I think you
know when it's executed properly it's
sort of the highest form of fashion and
in the farthest place that one can go in
one's imagination I think this is the
premiere we go you know I thought I
could with that Oscar dress but this is
even present this moment requires wings
because the needs to take off and
fly
[Music]
it's Sunday night before the Met Gala
and we are rehearsing my entrance
I have several shirtless gorgeous men
carrying me in my Cleopatra we're gonna
do this we're gonna set it off stand in
heaven these wings of fear
[Music]
we'll say no it's fine I just have to
see if I can do it with them tonight
with the winner he's 1 for 8
[Music]
yeah you know if I present it this way
first then I open the wings I'll see
what the stairs I can't tell you know
when I could then you know do some sort
of

pill last night got some sleep what
billion me for I'm the same person

to the hotel I'm trying to conserve my
energy because I know it's gonna be like
crazy tonight y'all see I'm getting my
hive done I'm gonna be very sparkly it
does take a while whoop but this is the
best way to do it
Lithonia flood really really right on
right right in front of old just about
just it's our it's our running joke
listen you did my makeup for kinky boots
they give you 40 minutes I would do it
in 30 35
she's a lion the truth banana good work
takes time
great work takes even more time just
don't make me late the inspiration is
Egypt a deity like Isis God like that
I'm God like darling and Oscar Wilde's
quote and I want to get it right one
should be a work of art or wear work of
art work and when I thought of Billy I
was like he's both all of it so I was
like yeah let's do that
all of it do all of that it never even
crossed my mind that I was the first man
to wear a dress to the US like it never
it wasn't I wasn't doing it for that I
wasn't trying to do it to sort of like
cause controversy I was doing it because
it's actually authentically Who I am the
one I wanted to
the complicated news is that it's 2019
and a man putting on a dress still
causes so much controversy the good news
for me
is that it causes so much controversy
you know because no press is bad press
it's like the greatest it's the greatest
it's just beyond my wildest dream well
I'm sitting here getting these right I'm
sitting here getting these rhinestones
put on my face I've been here since 9:00
in the morning Ryan was talking about oh
you should go as Diana Ross Diana Ross
is mahogany montage but I've watched the
montage and the thing that stuck out to
me the most was the was the Egyptian
look so it was the sort of Diana Ross
Egyptian moment that kind of launched it
and then we just expanded from there
this was like a massage machine the
bumper you know what it's okay because I
know we don't see each other so I know
you love it doesn't hurt you and I
didn't do it
[Music]
I'm gonna keep my wedding ring on so my
husband is with me in spirits because he
couldn't be there with me this year but
he's coming next

a lot of buildup
