- [Photographers] Camila!
[upbeat music]
- Hey Vogue, it's me Camila,
and you're getting ready with me for the Met Gala. [squeals]
[upbeat music]
Cute!
Hey Jan. - [Jan] Yeah?
- Do you have a speaker?
- [Jan] Yeah.
I think it's turn up vibe.
[upbeat music] Turn up.
I am getting ready for my second Met Gala.
I feel like I'm gonna be so confident
and I feel so excited 'cause I love my outfit.
I'm already loving my hair and makeup and my nails.
I'm excited about going with Prabal.
I'm excited about everything that my outfit stands for.
It's sustainable.
That was really important to me this year.
So I just feel really good
and really like true to myself going this year.
So I'm excited.
Yeah.
[upbeat music]
- [Mariel] So much information in the Gilded Age though
and what it means and how to like,
tie it back to fashion is the challenge, to be honest.
- I'm not like an expert
on the Gilded Age now, [laughing]
by any means, but my first thought was in learning more
about the climate crisis and what every industry
and every person can do to play their part.
Just learning more about like,
slow and fast fashion and sustainability in fashion.
And so that was really important to me this year.
And I was also like, oh wow,
that's like kind of the perfect contrast too.
Like that message of the Gilded Age of economic
and industrialization, like this big progress in that way.
And now it's 2022.
The climate crisis is the most like,
pressing issue right now.
And how can we kind of use that innovation
and ingenuity and that,
what's present during the Gilded Age
and apply it to now while we're tackling the climate crisis.
And obviously there are those cultural values
of materialism and wanting to look good
and express ourselves through fashion.
But also how can we do that
in a sustainable way.
Also how it ties into Prabal's like,
who gets to be American?
- [Mariel] Yes.
So this is where the flower part comes in.
It's like the growth, the beauty, the life.
- I love the colorfulness, - [Mariel] The colorfulness.
- all the different cultures, exactly,
that come to the table when immigrants come here.
- [Mariel] Correct.
- I'm really excited to go with Prabal
because he's from Nepal.
He's so proud of his heritage.
And also some of the dress was made in India.
- [Mariel] And Nepal.
- [Woman] Yep. - Yeah.
Last year I feel like was a totally different look.
It was a little bit more disco
and this year we're going more kind of natural
on the makeup.
More natural on the eye.
More kind of like fresh faced.
Right, Patrick Ta?
- [Patrick] Yes.
- My hair also last year was like,
a lot of hair which I loved,
but this year's more kind of laid back.
Right Andrew?
- [Andrew] So zero extensions in your hair.
- And I love that.
- [Andrew] And it's the vegetable dyed flowers
that we're using to embellish it are the same ones
that are in the dress.
- [gasps] Ooh, yeah!
- [Andrew] So you're kinda blooming.
- [Camila] Yeah, I love that.
When Tom was telling me about his idea for the nails,
I was so excited about it.
Tell us about it, Tom.
- [Tom] Yeah, so just basically having fun with the nails,
since we were keeping clean,
but keeping with that whole floral design
- [Camila] Yeah. - [Tom] and that sense of hope
and like you said, nature's fashion.
- [Camila] Yeah. - [Tom] And just bringing that
into the whole look but keeping it avant garde
by having it monochromatic matte white.
So it's representative of the entire look without-
- [Camila] I love that. - [Tom] being in your face.
- Since I've become more interested and inspired
by fashion and gone on my own journey,
I realize how much it really is a form of expression
and can be used to communicate like,
what's important to you?
What makes you feel strong?
What makes you feel confident?
What makes you feel grounded?
And to me, having flowers everywhere makes me feel grounded.
I think what I'm most looking forward to,
is literally wearing my outfit.
[laughing]
Like that's what I'm most excited about.
[upbeat music]
Thanks for getting ready with me, Vogue.
See you later, off to the Met.
