- I am hoping to die on Mars.
That would be my goal. I would like to go to Mars.
But I probably wouldn't go to space till I'm like 50,
I think.
Hey, it's Grimes and we're getting ready for the met.
Oh yeah, I should invite you in.
This is, I think my fourth Met Gala? Or my fifth.
Was the first one like Chanel? And then Proenza,
Louis Vuitton.
Sometimes there's like really phenomenal food,
Like the best food you've ever had.
Whatever year they had the dumplings was like,
really next level. I just have a distinct memory
of them being like, really good.
I think I like annoyed Sting, Cause I was like, trying
to tell him about how his performance in Dune was so great.
And he was like, didn't know
what I was talking about at first.
And I was like, Dune, you know, like the movie?
And then he was like, wait, what?
Like, 'cause I, I don't know.
Maybe people don't remember he's in Dune or something.
But he's Feyd-Rautha, who's my favorite character in Dune.
Dune is an American movie, based off an American novel.
So, originally I think we were going to like kind of try
to do this look like with the movie in some capacity.
That kind of fell apart, but I'm wearing like a Dune,
Chris Habana, like mask we're doing like
metal elf ears. So we really wanted the hair to be up
to like have this big face of metal.
Okay, We weren't going to do nails.
'Cause we like ran out of time and stuff.
And then I ran into Soji downstairs,
and we've worked together before.
To great effect.
Yeah, these are beautiful.
Also I can still type, I can still get my life done.
It's nice
- [Woman Off Screen] Pat McGrath sent over makeup
- [Grimes] Oh sick, yes.
- [Woman Off Screen] And she sent a little gift
for you as well.
And then whatever makeup you want, you it's all yours too.
- [Grimes] Sick.
The dress is by Iris van Herpen,
who is one of my favorite designers.
She studied architecture or something beforehand,
and she does a lot of like generative stuff.
And she's pushing the boundaries of beauty.
Like I feel like from Iris,
I see a lot of stuff that I've never seen before.
She's been one of my favorite designers for like
kind of since my career started.
I'm worried It's not different enough,
where it might actually be cooler to have one of each.
'Cause it's actually quite similar to my eye color.
Ah, so close.
I can try to hold my eyelashes up.
Ooh, that's a good that could work.
It's very kind of graphic and gross.
A single tear.

- I think having a baby was a big kind of like
rebirth for me, like artistically.
Like it just like, I don't know.
Being a mother feels weird to say for some reason,
I don't, like identify with that word.
Which is also really weird because X he says Claire,
but he doesn't say like mama,
which is so, I'm like, how are you?
Like maybe he can sense my distaste for the word mother.
Which I don't even know why I have a distaste for it,
Cause I like respect it. I just, I don't,
I can't identify with it weirdly.
I'm just finishing an album, and I think it is by far
my greatest work that I've ever done.
I actually just made the last song for it,
like two nights ago.
I think I went into this being like,
I'm going to sign in to a major label,
and I'm going to be a really big artist, and all this stuff.
And then like in that process, sort of being like, no.
Like I just like, literally don't care if anyone listens
to this shit, I just want it to be like, great.
Like I want it to be like unequivocally just like great art.
I'm not always good at getting a selfie, but like.
The makeup is done. We are sort of late,
but I think it'll be okay 'cause probably everyone's late.
And we're about to put on the dress.
These are actually from Etsy.
- [Grimes] This is the secret book.
It's a, it's a clue.
- [Assistant] So you want me to hold it, Holly?
[group chatter]
- [Man Behind Camera] There it is.
- [Grimes] So this is the look,
and I think this might be my best look ever, actually.
- [Grimes] Thank you guys!
