Céline Dion on Her Judy Garland-Inspired Met Gala Gown

Oh, Ms. Celine the queen.

May I bow in your presence.

Hello Ms. Celine Dion. Hello.

How are you? I m wonderful.

I m so honored to be here.

I m honored to be speaking with you tonight.

Please tell me about your wonderful look.

Well I am wearing Oscar de la Renta,

Noel Stewart for the headpiece.

I thought I was going to camp.

[laughs]

I got confused. You did, I though I was...

I brought my pillow and my one-piece pajama.

We can pitch a tent inside.

And then they said, Oh, we re going to show you girl

what camp is all about. Yass.

I m very honored, it s my second experience at The Met.

But this time I have to admit that

the fact that they trusted me

in that they asked me to be involved

in the process of making this happen.

I mean, who doesn t want to look...

Yass, look at that bead work,

look at that wingspan!

I don t want to have a pajama tonight.

I don t want you to have one either girl.

I want to wake up like this tomorrow.

This year I m accompanied by, you know...

Please, please come. Come, come,

How are you?

Very good, how are you?

I m so fantastic.

They re responsible for making this happen.

They trusted me.

The Ziegfeld girl was the inspiration.

It s a film that we were inspired by

and we thought it was the perfect marriage of

Celine s aesthetic and life

with Oscar de la Renta s aesthetic as well.

Thank you. Thank you very much you all.

Have a wonderful Met.

Thank you, thank you.

Ah, man stunning!

Girl, I m blinded you look wonderful.

Thank you very much.

[gasps] Oh my god, her little antennas

tickled me at the very end.

I just got tickled by Celine Dion.

Did you see that?

That was so cool!
