Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Met Gala s "Adult Prom" Vibes

You guys look amazing.

Let s talk about the look. Thank you.

I m wearing my buddy Paul Tazewell,

who was nominated for an Oscar this year

for West Side Story.

Costume designer, correct?

Yeah, did Hamilton and In the Heights.

[Emma] So cool. I called my friend.

It s your first Met,

what do you think s going on in there?

Be honest.

We really don t know what to expect,

but I really jumped into the deep end

by deciding to co-chair for my very first Met Gala.

We haven t thought this much

about our clothes since our wedding. [laughs]

Totally.

It feels like an adult prom,

and we re raising money for an amazing organization

that needs support coming out of COVID.

Yes.

Well, I ll see you guys in there.

Thank you very much. Have an amazing

and beautiful night.

Good luck. See ya.

Have fun with the rest of the interviews.

[Emma] Thank you.
