00:00 One of my biggest fears is fainting.

00:03 Because I feel like the dresses, they get heavier and heavier.

00:08 And I just feel like it's going to be that one Met Gala,

00:11 the weather's going to be like 80 degrees outside,

00:14 and the dress is just going to be heavy, and I might pass out.

00:18 [MUSIC]

00:42 How tall is it standing right now, though?

00:44 I think it's about eight, eight and a half feet tall.

00:47 And this is the height that she's going to be standing on the carpet?

00:49 Yeah, she'll be around eight and a half feet tall.

00:54 We had the opportunity to kind of wear whatever we want and highlight whoever we wanted.

00:59 And I thought Windows 10 was perfect.

01:01 I feel like their brand is based on fantasy, like a dreamland mixed into reality.

01:07 [MUSIC]

01:13 I saw the designer, I saw his dress, it was like a very extravagant yellow, lime green color.

01:20 And I was like, I have to go to the Met with this dress.

01:23 And then, like, Colin had been wanting to do this idea where I look like I'm age.

01:28 He'd been wanting to do this for the Met Gala for a very long time.

01:31 And I always thought he was out of his mind.

01:33 I don't know how he convinced me to do it this year,

01:36 but I guess it's because he convinced me because of the theme.

01:39 So I'm like, fine, I'm going to give it a try.

01:42 You know, like when you give face, like the outfit gives,

01:47 but when you give face in here, it's very important.

01:51 Those are very important elements.

01:53 It's an interesting experience seeing yourself old.

01:55 It is going to be very, like my mom, she's very anti-surgery on herself.

02:02 But I'm the fuck not.

02:05 I know for a fact when I'm like in my 70s and everything, I want to look like I'm 45.

02:09 So I am going to do a facelift. Absolutely, yes.

02:12 But if you want to be 75 and you want to, like, age gracefully and everything,

02:19 good for you, but not good for me.

02:22 I got a couple of gray hairs. I got, like, three of them bitches long up to my ass.

02:26 But I just want to look sexy forever.

02:28 Why can't I just want to be sexy forever?

02:30 Like, I'm a sexy bitch and I want to stay like a sexy bitch.

02:33 You know what I'm saying?

02:35 It's not really a society thing.

02:37 I just want to be sexy for anybody else.

02:40 Even now when I do cosmetic surgeries and everything,

02:42 like when I get a lipo or whatever the fuck done,

02:44 I'm not doing it for society. I'm not doing it for my man.

02:47 I'm doing it for myself.

02:48 Like, I picture what I want to look like.

02:51 And what I want to look like, I want to achieve it.

02:54 Like, fuck a society.

02:56 Do it for your motherfucking self. I'll do it for me.

02:58 [Music]

03:24 So you guys know that I was going to go with prosthetics and everything on the red carpet,

03:27 but I just felt like it was too risky.

03:30 And I don't know if it was going to be well on camera, so it's like, no.

03:34 So now we're trying to figure out what we're doing next for the hair.

03:38 I mean, we're going to do a turban, but we don't want it to look too much like,

03:41 I like it like that.

03:42 So it's just like, I wonder how we're going to do a little fling flang flare.

03:46 But thank God for Tokyo and Erica and everybody else.

03:50 My color of my eyes are, as you can see, is like the perfect emerald.

03:55 It goes with my nails, but it's going to go with my jewelry.

04:00 After you do the hard, super hard part, which is the red carpet,

04:05 and you just hope that you don't smile like this.

04:08 And the hardest part is being inside the Met and being social with other artists

04:15 that you like and you don't like.

04:18 So you've got to be social with people and stuff like that.

04:21 And it's like, really, it takes a lot for me, you know what I'm saying?

04:23 Because I'm like a Libra.

04:25 I'm very antisocial, you know what I'm saying?

04:27 I'm like cocooned up.

04:30 I'm like an un-cocooned butterfly.

04:32 I'm also really scared for my dress because I have to get practically on a little podium

04:37 with very tall heels.

04:39 I wonder how many inches is my heels.

04:42 15 inches heels.

04:44 It's just very overwhelming, you know?

04:52 I'm 41, but I've been through so much in my life.

04:55 And I started being--you know I was a little fast.

04:58 So I'm really 45 to me in my head because I was outside early.

05:06 You might have to fold some pieces up.

05:13 That looks ugly right there.

05:17 I think it can go down more.

05:20 I think it will go down more.

05:22 Can you lift up the back of her hair more?

05:37 Seconds left to complete today's competition.

05:49 This is down.

05:51 If we can just have the collected in the room with her.

06:00 Alright, here we go.

06:02 Can I pull it down?

06:07 Yeah, I'm doing that from the back.

06:09 When I did WAP, everybody took it as a very empowering moment.

06:12 When I do these type of moments, I don't think about like,

06:16 "Oh, I'm purposely trying to do something that's empowering."

06:19 I just want to do something different.

06:21 Am I taller than Colin? Let's see.

06:24 Damn it. I can't be him!

06:44 I'm excited to wear that dress, to be honest with you.

06:47 I want to wear that dress. I want to take my pictures.

06:50 And I just want to take the dress off right away.

06:53 Because it's a lot. It's so heavy.

06:55 It's really, really heavy.

06:58 [Music]
