The rain mercifully held off yesterday evening during the Met's Costume Institute Gala, so that was one less battle for attendees in their gigantic, tight-fitting gowns. Navigating the Metropolitan Museum steps and getting into cars with those dresses, however, was unavoidable.
“Someone did warn me this event was all stairs. This was my first time, and it’s basically terrifying,” Maggie Grace said about trying to navigate the museums steps on the way to the ball. “But I only have four more stairs to go, I haven’t done a face-plant so far, so it’s a good night.” Camilla Bell explained how she got her voluminous custom-made Jason Wu gown into the car. “I had help, kind of folding it on top of my lap.” Eva Longoria thought her snug Marchesa dress was flattering. “If you can’t breathe, the fit is pretty good,” she said. She paused on the stairs, grasping a railing for support. How hard is it to walk in that dress? “Pretty hard,” Longoria said, and tottered up a few more steps. While Melania Trump was telling that her bustled Christian Siriano dress was not hard to sit in, the Donald was behind her shaking his head. “It’s not easy,” he piped up. Katie Couric had no choice but to climb the Met stairs, but took the easy route when she left the office in her Carmen Marc Valvo dress: “I took the elevator because I thought I’d fall down the stairs, so I didn’t go through the newsroom,”.
