- You guys, I have the worst stage fright.
[deeply exhales]
[car horn honking]
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Hi, Nana.
- [Nana] Hi, sweetheart.
How are you doing?
- I'm good.
I'm in the van heading to the Met Gala.
- [Nana] What's that?
[Sydney and Molly chuckling]
[whimsical music]
[camera shutter clicking]
- We're about to go see the dress.
This is crazy. [laughs]
This is so crazy.
[whimsical music]
[Sydney gasps]
Thank you.
Come on in.
[whimsical music]
[Sydney squeals]
[Sydney gasps]
Oh my gosh. [Molly laughs]
[Sydney gasps]
This is so beautiful. - Aww!
- Oh my goodness.
[Sydney gasps] - It's gonna be insane on you.
- This is so beautiful.
I'm so happy about the white.
[whimsical music]
- Sydney had this idea of wearing some sort of a corset,
and having a reveal where she takes something off,
either it be like a jacket or the skirt.
- We had an initial creative conversation,
put together some mood boards,
and then we kind of just built from there.
- Ideas back and forth. - Yeah.
- To have someone to work with
that has that kind of confidence
is really, really inspiring.
Look underneath.
- [Sydney] That draping!
It's done! - So amazing.
- Good work.
But you can't even, you can't even see it.
- I know.
And it's super lightweight.
That's what's gonna be so...
- That's what's amazing.
You know what's funny is,
I don't know what happens after the steps.
[Sydney laughs] - Well then, you walk,
we can go through that. [Sydney laughs]
So there are the steps.
And then we go into, you walk through this long hallway,
and then you go to where the dinner is, but you're,
there's a cocktail for a while.
- Do you wanna try it on? - I'm so excited!
- Do you wanna try it on? - Yes, yes.
- Okay. - Oh my gosh.
- Tory, are you okay with it coming up that much there?
- I love it.
- Yeah? - I actually do
like that impact. - Okay.
- This much? - The thing to her point
is maybe we should,
we just wanna be, because if you're gonna see that,
I just wanna make sure that that's really beautiful on that.
- Oh, line it on the inside? - Yeah.
Maybe we line it or something. - Yeah.
We line the inside
with this outside fabric? - Mm-hmm.
- So it's a detail. - Yeah.
- This is definitely-- - This is gonna be
so nice while they're here. - The most elaborate
custom look I've ever done.
[whimsical music] - Can I get the shoes
I like the best?
- [Sydney] Yes, please.
- You like those shoes? - I do.
- They're so pretty. - They're really fun.
I can last all night in these.
- Are you sure?
It's gonna be a long night, girl.
- These are way comfier than some of the other shoes
you've put me in. [Tory chuckles]
- Sorry. [Sydney and Molly laughing]
- They actually are.
- I'm gonna need-- - And this
other side - Some gummy bears
to keep me up.
- [Molly] I mean, you basically see everything.
So that's, once we fix that...
- [Sydney] Mm-hmm.
- [Tory] At the moment, it's only in the front, right?
- Yeah, just in the front. - It's pretty.
- I think that's good.
- Yeah. - No?
'Cause it looks more natural like that.
[gentle piano music]
- You have one big snap that just have to unsnap.
- [Molly] That train!
[Sydney gasps]
You need the train longer, [Tory laughs]
don't you? [Sydney squealing]
Yeah, I love it. - We can do that.
- It's so beautiful. - Oh my goodness!
[Sydney squealing] [women laughing]
- We're going to the Met!
[Sydney laughing]
[gentle music]
[Molly squealing] [hands clapping]
- That's pretty good! [Molly squealing]
[women laughing]
[gentle classical music]
[tinkling xylophone music]
- Hi there! - Hi!
- [Woman] It's a big day!
- What's up, what's up? - Amazing.
Hi.
Are you excited?
- I'm nervous, but I'm excited.
I had like, every nightmare
you could possibly imagine last night.
- Oh no! - Oh my God.
- Dress fell off and I was naked.
[Molly chuckles]
- That will not happen. - I tripped.
Bloody nose everywhere on my white dress.
- [Woman] Oh my God!
- You didn't give me my razor. [laughs]
And hair was growing everywhere. [chuckles]
[whimsical music]
- The dress is so beautiful and feminine.
So we wanted to kind of play off that
and do something a bit more unexpected
and gritty with the hair.
So think a little more kind of grungy,
but still glamorous and youthful.
- I sort of wanted to contrast the beautiful overlay,
like sparkly overlay of the dress
with a sort of more lived in,
beautiful sort of sooty lived in eye.
So that's what we're gonna do.
I feel like it's a little unexpected.
It's fun.
I feel like it's very true to Sydney.
[machine whirring]
- You guys! [Bobby chuckles]
Wait, is it gonna rain on us?
I think I watched hours of footage last night
of people arriving at The Met.
- Oh my God! [women giggling]
- Just trying to... - Stay.
- Make sure I know what I'm doing.
The moment I found out
that I was going to be able to go to The Met with Tory,
I think that it was just this surreal moment
because the whole thing does not feel real.
Like right now, it still does not feel real.
I don't think it's going to feel real until I'm there,
and then it's gonna happen so quickly,
and it'll feel like a dream,
and then I'll forget the whole thing,
and I'll be like, wait, no, can I go back?
I'm gonna be completely honest.
I had no idea what The Met was until I started acting.
I grew up in a small town.
So uh... [machine whirring]
I had no idea what The Met Gala was.
[gentle music] I think that
I'm more confident in trying new things.
I like to kind of look at carpets or events
as different sides of myself that I'm allowed to express.
Yeah. - True.
- [Sydney] Kate Moss is a...
- Yeah. - Forever glam.
- We-- - As well.
- [Melissa] I think we love the fact
that she's so effortless. - Yeah.
- And I feel like we really wanted to channel that today.
- That like, lived in look. - Right.
[whimsical music]
- [Molly] Is she ready for the ball?
[Molly squealing] - She is...
- [Bobby] Ready!
- [Melissa] Ready!
- She has arrived! [Sydney squealing]
- [Bobby] This girl arrived!
- Oh my God! - Look at you.
[gentle music]
[camera shutter clicking]
[whimsical music]
- [Sydney] Look at you!
Oh!
- [Tory] Look at you.
- [Sydney] I'm obsessed with this.
I was telling Miranda before you got here
about White Lotus.
She lives in England,
- They shut down the entire resort
and the island was shut down.
- Noir. [laughs] - It's a dramedy,
it's a dramedy.
[Sydney chuckles]
- [Photographer] Right there.
- [Adwoa] Hi!
It's so nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you!
- How are you? - Good.
- Hello! [crowd cheering]
- Hey, Sydney! [crowd cheering]
- Oh, that was smart.
Oh my God, look at all these people.
Oh my gosh.
[Sydney vocalizing]
- Yeah, yeah. - Hi, Nana.
- [Nana] Hi, sweetheart.
How are you doing?
- I'm good.
I'm in the van heading to The Met Gala.
- [Nana] What's that?
[Sydney and Molly chuckling]
- It's a really beautiful event where people go
and they honor fashion,
and it's themed different every year.
And we all wear like big, huge dresses.
I'll send you pictures, Nana.
It's a little tight in the van.
- [Nana] A little tight top too.
[Sydney and Molly laughing]
- [Melissa] We're a huge fan.
[gentle music]
[Sydney exhaling]
- Better not throw up.
[gentle music]
Cassie 2.0!
[Melissa chuckling]
- Hey! [Sydney squealing]
- [Man] That's good.
