On Monday, Chase Sui Wonders attended her first-ever Met Gala in a lilac McQueen gown inspired by ancient Roman murals she’d encountered on a trip to Pompeii. As she tells Chloe and Chioma in today’s episode of The Run-Through, her “Fashion Is Art” look was layered with Tiffany jewels over the top and a bodysuit underneath to keep the entirely sheer skirt photo-appropriate. She arrived on the carpet at 5:30 p.m., navigated the infamous train-traffic-heavy walk through the Egyptian wing, and missed the burrata entirely—having spent the better part of an hour making her way to her table.
The highlights of her night were countless. Emily Blunt freed her from a hedge after her dress got caught in it; a bathroom visit resulted in an encounter with Tessa Thompson, who was loudly ripping off her synthetic nails; on the dance floor during Stevie Nicks’s surprise performance, Wonders caught up with A$AP Rocky, who then accidentally stepped on her train; and a cut radish launched itself from her plate, into Janelle Monáe’s CD-ROM nipple-cover. “We laughed about it afterwards,” Wonders says.
Chloe and Chioma also share their own reports from the night. Nnadi sat beside Margiela creative director Glenn Martens, who was fielding a steady stream of Rihanna fitting updates on his phone. Malle wore a persimmon-colored gown by the young American designer Colleen Allen, loosely inspired by Frederic Leighton’s painting Flaming June.
