Awkwafina on Going to Her First Met Gala

Yo, it s Awkwafina.

You look so good right now.

How s your first Met going, you guys?

It s going great, I got the best date ever.

Joseph Altuzarra made this beautiful dress.

She looks gorgeous. Yes.

Yeah, so I can t believe I m here, this is so cool.

So tell me, what s the inspiration

behind your dress tonight?

Well it was sort of inspired by the Wizard of Oz

and the good witch Glinda,

and just the queer roots of camp.

I think camp is really fun and Awkwafina s really fun,

and we just sort all fit in together.

That is true. I concur.

I am fun, I m good date.

I told him, I told him I might start yelling later.

[laughs] No, no, I won t, I won t.

I actually scared him when I said that though, yeah.

Please do, please do.

You think anything that happened in Ocean s 8

will happen inside there tonight?

I hope not, because that was,

it was a very complicated heist, yeah.

I hope tonight just goes smooth

and, yeah. There we go, there we go.

Congratulations tonight, dude.

Good to see you. Bye guys, yeah nice

to see you. Yeah. [laughs]
