It was the First Monday in May, and Ella and Grace were New Yorkers, so naturally they spent the afternoon stalking the Met Gala Red Carpet. Mistake number one: They both wore flats. Despite their train unexpectedly making its final stop in Midtown, and a cab driver who repeatedly asked why there was so much traffic near the Met, they made it. These are their thoughts from behind the barricade.
-
Driving up Madison Avenue in a sea of town cars.
“It could be someone. Or it could be no one.”
“Those are the two options.”
“Unless it’s an alien.”
-
Obscure unidentified rapper strolls in.
“He looks familiar.”
“He’s definitely someone. They’re screaming.”
“Should we ask?”
“I don’t want to be judged.”
-
“Why did I not wear heels?!”
-
Who knew Matt Lauer was so short?
“Hi Matt!”
“Hi guys.”
-
“Who wears a jean jacket to the Met Gala?”
Answer: Paparazzi.
-
7:45 pm: someone finally shows up with a smile on their face.
“Anna Kendrick just waved at me!”
-
Whoops, sorry Bryce Dallas Howard. Guess your invitation got lost in the mail.
“Is that Jessica Chastain or the other one?” (Side note: definitely Chastain.)
-
The queen has arrived. As has her stalker.
“It’s Beyoncé!”
“Are you sure?’
“He knows her license plate number.”
-
Remember when Kris Jenner wanted everyone to work on their communication skills?
“I think that was Kim. I saw a woman on her phone.”
-
Always go out on a high note.
“Is that Drake?!”
“They said it’s Zayn.”
“Oh. I don’t care anymore.”
As they walked to Chipotle, dodging fire trucks and puddles, they made a pact to never retire until they’ve made it to the other side.
