Four beautiful, beautiful men

bringing your beautiful dress for beautiful Gigi, okay?

Thank you, boys.

You re gorgeous. You look so amazing.

Thank you.

I think that this many friends to help me hold the dress

is like part of the theme.

Okay wait, tell me about this.

This is Tom Brown.

2,800,000 beads are on just the dress alone.

[Emma] Stop.

[Gigi] It took 20 people 5,000 hours to bead it.

Wow. 70 people overall

worked on this dress.

I m just honored to show their work

and I think that s the point of the Met.

What makes the perfect red carpet look for you?

The Met Ball is obviously different

than any other red carpet. That s true.

I think it s the time to really have fun and go for it.

It s a night where we re not putting on dresses

that have been made by a designer to sell.

They re really made to celebrate creativity together.

Can you please tell me the story?

The story of her is Tom, you know, sent me a few options.

I loved this white look, but I wanted more color

and my favorite color is yellow, so he brought-

Love. All of the roses

coming up more, which is so fun.

I think this is such a great nod to The Garden of Time,

the book, which is about like these, you know,

it has these glass flowers in the garden

in front of the house and these are all, I don t know

if you can see these beads, if anyone can pan down.

Whoa. But these 3D flowers-

That s amazing. Look like glass flowers.

Thank you, guys.

I ll let you get out of this sooner.

Four, four, I was only supposed to have three.

This is so lucky. [Emma laughing]

Four is amazing.

Are you guys having fun? Yeah.

Okay, great. This is the best job

of the night. We re gonna be like-

Yeah, everybody s happy.

This is a collab of the century?

Collab.

Well, you re a band.
