00:00 [plastic rustling]
00:02 - How's it breathing?
00:05 How's it going?
00:06 - It's an art form, but I got it.
00:10 [upbeat music]
00:13 Hi Vogue, it's Kim.
00:23 We are two days out from the Met
00:26 and we're doing a trial day.
00:27 This is actually the first time I've ever done this,
00:30 where I've tested hair and makeup looks
00:33 before the actual event.
00:35 Isn't that what people do
00:36 when they test their wedding makeup?
00:38 Never done that either.
00:41 This is the world famous Mario Dedivanovic,
00:45 makeup by Mario and Chris Appleton.
00:48 I only have hot guys do my glam.
00:52 - Hot aging guys.
00:54 - Oh, stop.
00:55 - Middle aged men.
00:57 [hair dryer whirring]
00:58 - Hey mom, I didn't even see you there.
01:00 What are you doing?
01:02 - Hi guys.
01:03 [hair dryer whirring]
01:05 - What's going on?
01:06 Of course you'd pop up in my Vogue video.
01:09 - Yeah, well, you know.
01:10 - This year for the Met,
01:12 I am wearing a custom John Galliano Margiela couture gown.
01:17 So many amazing looks from every house
01:21 that John has been with,
01:21 has been on my mood board for years.
01:24 The second Margiela show I had been to,
01:26 I was so inspired by it.
01:29 I mean, I loved that it was corsets and the bodies,
01:33 and it was like the most theatrical, beautiful story.
01:38 This has been a partnership,
01:41 I'd say maybe four or five years in the making.
01:44 To put it lightly,
01:45 that is about four or five years of me stalking him
01:48 to try to see if he would ever design a look for me
01:52 for the Met.
01:53 It finally just connected,
01:55 and it was a dream to get to know him,
01:58 to spend time with him,
02:00 and...
02:01 and...
02:04 - Oh, the minor weights on me.
02:05 I thought we were supposed to do glam.
02:07 - For me, I would even want to do him so much more justice,
02:12 because I just know the human being that he is.
02:22 This year's theme is Sleeping Beauty's Reawakening Fashion.
02:26 The dress code is the Garden of Time,
02:29 and when I heard this theme,
02:31 we kind of just played around
02:34 with what we thought this meant,
02:36 and imagining having the best night of your entire life
02:40 with your most magical person,
02:43 and you just are in a garden,
02:46 you've overslept,
02:47 you wake up after literally the best night of your life,
02:51 and I'm just like running.
02:52 - What's the best night of your life, Minkah?
02:55 - I'm fantasizing in my head.
02:57 Running out, my dress is falling off,
03:00 because it was one of those nights,
03:02 and I just grab my boyfriend's sweater
03:05 to run off to make it to where I have to be.
03:10 It's really the real life me when I go to an event,
03:13 and I have to make it home by 6 a.m. to get to carpool.
03:18 Real life happens,
03:19 and you're just, sometimes I'm in my makeup
03:22 from the night before,
03:23 and it is what it is,
03:24 but it's like that,
03:25 where you just woke up, bedhead.
03:28 I think we need a little more bedhead,
03:29 'cause it's a sleeping beauty.
03:31 Just woke up after the night of my life in this garden,
03:35 in this secret garden.
03:36 This is the 11th Met that I've gone to.
03:41 That's wild.
03:43 Listen, at my first Met, I was lucky to be invited.
03:45 I was a plus one.
03:47 Second one, I was invited,
03:49 and I wore Albert Elbaz for Lanvin.
03:53 I didn't know it was happening that way,
03:54 that I would wear a different designer each Met,
03:58 but I think it's so cool and magical that way.
04:02 I definitely have every Met dress saved,
04:04 except for the Marilyn Monroe dress.
04:07 I actually asked Nora,
04:09 "What's your favorite dress in my closet?
04:10 "If you can take one dress,"
04:12 and she said, "I want the Marilyn dress,"
04:14 and I said, "Of course you do."
04:15 (gentle music)
04:18 All right, we're gonna go try on the look
04:21 for the last time before the Met.
04:23 (gentle music)
04:25 Phase one, corset.
04:36 This takes about 30 minutes.
04:38 I'm just kidding.
04:39 So the part of my garden fantasy is,
04:43 this corset just stayed on the whole time,
04:44 'cause it makes my boobs look so good in my waist,
04:47 so everything else came off.
04:50 I felt so snatched,
04:52 I won't even be able to communicate to you
04:56 how snatched I feel.
04:58 One thing about John is he'll think of every last detail.
05:02 So he'll think of like,
05:04 if you're standing at the top of the stairs,
05:06 but the photographers are at the bottom of the stairs,
05:09 and they're getting a glimpse up,
05:10 and the skirt's made out of metal,
05:12 and there's like little peekaboo holes within that.
05:16 He wanted to make sure that I am fully covered
05:21 in the appropriate places.
05:22 So I do have a custom Margiela thong.
05:25 So we're putting on the dress portion.
05:31 It's really the skirt,
05:33 but you'll see it's like a dress draping off.
05:35 I'll show you in a minute.
05:41 Desabillé is a state of being undressed.
05:45 I learned that from Mr. John Galliano himself.
05:51 - So if that dress was up,
05:53 it would be all the same texture,
05:54 but because it's fallen down,
05:57 we've allowed ourselves to use the reverse of it
06:00 to revoke the inside of the dress.
06:02 - Oh, it's freezing through the forest,
06:07 so I just grabbed my boyfriend's sweater cardigan.
06:11 And, yep, and it's falling off.
06:18 This is my shoe.
06:21 It's clever because if I had a shoe with a heel,
06:24 the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt.
06:28 And so that was our issue of walking.
06:30 So I'm going to have to put these on,
06:32 and to wear these, you're on your tiptoes,
06:35 and you're balancing the whole time,
06:37 flexing your calf muscles.
06:39 So that's what I'm going to have to do,
06:42 is stand on my tippy toes.
06:44 But I think ballerinas do it,
06:46 and they probably have a lot of practice.
06:49 This is our only practice, but we'll do it.
06:52 I think we really need the height on this look,
06:54 so we got to do what we got to do.
06:57 Probably 52.
06:58 We should measure.
07:01 That would be so interesting.
07:02 - I'm 6'3".
07:04 - So what am I, 6'8"?
07:04 - You're 6'4".
07:05 (laughing)
07:07 That's crazy.
07:08 - So then I can't lean back,
07:10 and I'm on my toes from here on out.
07:14 (gentle music)
07:19 Wow.
07:23 (laughing)
07:28 My toes, they bend over, elongate.
07:33 (gentle music)
07:35 So we're going to go take some photos.
07:39 I'm so glad you guys were able to join my final fitting.
07:48 I'll see you on Monday.
07:49 (gentle music)
07:53 (gentle music)
07:56 (gentle music)
07:58 (gentle music)
08:01 (gentle music)
08:04 (gentle music)
08:06 (gentle music)
08:09 (gentle music)
