00:00Well, I'll always remember this as my first one.

00:01Yeah.

00:02Yeah.

00:02Well, because it is your first one.

00:03Can I come next year?

00:04Yes.

00:04Can I just come every year?

00:05You're only allowed to come with me.

00:11I've known Stella, god, I don't know, maybe eight, nine years.

00:15Every now and then she'll like send a jacket or whatever

00:19and then for this next album campaign I'm going into,

00:22we're sort of doing some clothes for videos

00:25and that's where the conversation came up.

00:26I went in for a fitting and she was just like, come to the Met.

00:29Because I used to just wear hoodies and just wear jeans and just wear Jordans

00:32and then I sort of came out with a new album in 2021

00:36and I just kind of enjoyed coming out of my shell for one night only

00:40and wearing something that I would never usually wear

00:42and that's sort of what today is.

00:44You'll see the suit and it is definitely not something

00:46that I would have in my wardrobe regularly

00:49but it's quite fun to do for one night.

00:54How do I do my hair?

00:55I usually, whatever hotel I'm in,

00:57I use the shampoo and the conditioner.

00:59And that's it?

01:00Yep.

01:02You get fitted for these things like a month out

01:04and then you're like, you go to New York for a week and eat loads of pasta

01:08and you're like, is it going to fit?

01:10It's more the shoes I'm worried about.

01:11They're not like obviously as comfortable as wearing Jordans.

01:14I actually, Jordans are usually what I would wear with a suit.

01:17If you're going to spend an entire evening in something,

01:18you want to be like comfortable.

01:20So I name dropped it in a song and yeah, they sent me like a lifetime supply

01:24and that was 14 years ago.

01:28Shhh.

01:36Bling.

01:38These are diamond cufflinks yeah.

01:40Borrowed though.

01:42These aren't just sitting in my drawer at home.

01:45I feel like I'm about to go to my first Met and have a memorable evening.

01:50it. The city, it kind of feels like a Monday. So this is Stella McCartney for Vogue. I'm

02:03Ed Sheeran and we're doing our first Met together. I'm Stella's date for the evening.

02:06He's a Met virgin.

02:07Met virgin, popping the cherries at night. When was your first Met?

02:11Oh, my first Met was in 1920 with Liv Tyler and I went down to the East Village in New

02:20York about four hours before the Met. And I took some wife beaters and I got this guy

02:24to custom make them and put rock royalty on them. And it's history. The rest is history,

02:29right Vogue?

02:30Was that the first Met?

02:31That was my first Met. I don't think it was the first Met. I'm not that old.

02:34What was the first Met? Was it the same vibe though? Or has it obviously got more like

02:38crazy?

02:39Oh yeah, it was really lo-fi. I went to pick up my friend Liv Tyler. And well, I mean,

02:43I got my outfit made downtown four hours before the Met. So that's kind of your answer.

02:49Me too, actually.

02:50Yeah, exactly. In the garment district. And I went and picked her up. And we both didn't

02:56know what we were going to. I was like, oh, Anna's invited me to this thing. And she was

02:59like, oh, what is it? I was like, let's just go have fun. And I went to pick her up. And

03:02I remember going into her room. And I was like, what is happening? And she had hair

03:07and makeup. And I was like, what are you doing?

03:09Oh, you thought it was just like, you were going for dinner or something?

03:12I literally just went, wah, wah, wah. Like, I mean, you can see the pictures. You can

03:15see it's horrible. Like, I've cut my own hair. Like, I am like, self done.

03:18They're going to cut them in right now.

03:19I'm self done and Liv's like, got hair and makeup.

03:22Well, Ed inspired the fit. Everything about this was inspired by Ed. Matching the eyes,

03:26obviously. Redhead to redhead. What can I say?

03:29Honky, homing away.

03:31And he's wearing, the coolest thing, I'll tell you what, Ed has got on lab-grown diamonds.

03:36So, and I'm wearing a lab-grown diamond. So basically, all of my gang are wearing lab-grown

03:42diamonds, which is like really cool and sustainable and innovative.

03:47Thanks for having us.

03:53But Vogue, thank you for getting ready with me for my first ever Met Gala. And I am going

03:57to go now. And you are not. See you in a bit.

04:01I think you will go though, because it is technically your company who's doing it.

04:05So, see you there.

04:17Bye.
