00:00 What are you wearing? Are you wearing a scarf?
00:02 I'm wearing the blondes.
00:04 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06 Yeah, I got a little bit of Bottega on the feet.
00:10 The funniest thing that always happens when you and I talk is you always have snacks with you that you bring to the Met.
00:17 Did you bring anything with you tonight?
00:19 I did. I brought a lot of candy this time.
00:21 Because it's like, I was full last year. I tried to bring the food and the candy.
00:24 And then my candy wound up tasting like the food.
00:28 So I said, let me try something new this year and be full and then just bring the candy.
00:33 So then that way I can continue to have a good time, keep my energy up and not smell like food.
00:38 That's so smart and it doesn't ruin your makeup either.
00:40 No, for real. Because when I get up in here and I get to eat and the food, lipstick gone.
00:45 This dress looks really big. How are you going to go to the bathroom in it?
00:49 Oh no, look, I got a high slit this time.
00:52 Hold on.
00:54 Now this year, whop!
00:57 Show us how to pose on the carpet. You always have the best poses.
01:01 I'm kind of shy, but I wanted to give a little thot.
01:05 Damn, I didn't do that downstairs. I should have did that.
01:08 You didn't do it?
01:10 Yeah, I was like.
01:12 And when they say show the front of the dress, I don't really quite get that because I got to be like this.
01:15 You know what I'm saying? I hear people tell me to show the front of the dress.
01:18 Get my diag, and you pull around.
01:20 You know.
01:22 What's next for you? I love seeing you in acting projects. What's next for you?

01:42 What can you tell us about the project and when does it start filming?
01:44 We start filming late this year.
01:46 Super excited about that.
01:48 It's not just wrapped up another really big movie that I'm like really excited for.
01:53 I can't speak on it, but it's been a lot of things on the net in regards to the movie.
01:59 There's a lot of biopics out right now.
02:01 Is there a dream role or a dream person you'd love to play when it comes to biopics?
02:04 My dream person is Dionne Warwick and I have that in the bag.
