Hi Vogue, it's Kim.

00:23

We are two days out from the Met

00:25

and we're doing a trial day.

00:27

This is actually the first time I've ever done this

00:30

where I've tested hair and makeup looks

00:33

before the actual event.

00:35

Isn't that what people do when they

00:37

test their wedding makeup?

00:39

Never done that either.

00:41

This is the world famous Mario Dedivanovic,

00:45

Makeup By Mario and Chris Appleton.

[Kris chuckles]

01:10

- Well, you know.

01:11

- This year for the Met,

01:12

I am wearing a custom John Galliano Margiela couture gown.

01:17

So many amazing looks from every house

01:20

that John has been with has been on my mood board for years.

01:23

The second Margiela show I had been to

01:26

and I was so inspired by it.

01:29

I mean, I loved that it was corsets and the bodies

01:32

and it was like the most theatrical, beautiful story.

01:37

This has been a partnership

01:40

I'd say maybe four or five years in the making.

01:44

To put it lightly,

01:45

that is about four or five years of me stalking him to try

01:49

to see if he would ever design a look for me for the Met.

01:53

It finally just connected

01:55

and it was a dream to get to know him,

01:58

to spend time with him and-

02:03

And-

02:04

- Oh, am I in your way?

02:06

Sorry.

02:07

I thought we were supposed to stick around.

02:08

[Kim chuckles]

02:09

- For me, I would even want to do him so much more justice

02:13

because I just know the human being that he is.

02:22

This year's theme is sleeping beauties, reawakening fashion.

02:26

The dress code is the garden of time.

02:29

And when I heard this theme,

02:31

we like kind of just like played around

02:34

with what we thought this meant.

02:36

And imagining having the best night of your entire life

02:40

with your most magical person

02:43

and you just are in a garden.

02:46

You've overslept, you wake up after like

02:48

literally the best night of your life

02:51

and I'm just like running-

02:53

- What was the best night of your life?

02:54

[Kim chuckles]

02:55

- I'm fantasizing in my head.

02:56

Running out, my dress is falling off

03:00

because it was one of those nights

03:02

and I just grabbed my boyfriend's sweater

03:05

to like run off to make it to where I have to be.

03:10

It's like really the real life me

03:12

when I go to an event and I have to make it at like

03:15

home by 6:00 AM to get to carpool,

03:18

like real life happens and you're just,

03:20

sometimes I am in my makeup from the night before

03:23

and it is what it is.

03:24

But it's like that where you're just like woke up, bedhead.

03:27

I think we need a little more bedhead

03:30

cuz it's a Sleeping Beauty.

03:31

Just woke up after the night of my life in this garden,

03:35

in this secret garden.

03:36

[Kim chuckles]

03:38

This is the 11th Met that I've gone to.

03:41

That's wild.

03:42

Listen, at my first Met, I was lucky to be invited.

03:45

I was a plus one.

03:47

Second one, I was invited and I wore Alber Albas

03:51

for Lawn Van.

03:53

I didn't know it was happening that way

03:54

that I would wear a different designer each, you know, Met,

03:58

but I think it's so cool and magical that way.

04:02

I definitely have every Met dress saved

04:04

except for the Marilyn Monroe dress.

04:07

I actually asked North,

04:08

what's your favorite dress in my closet

04:10

if you can take one dress.

04:11

And she said, I want the Marilyn dress.

04:13

And I said, of course you do.

04:19

All right, we're gonna go try on the look

04:21

for the last time before the Met.

04:23

[bright music]

04:34

Phase one, corset.

04:36

This takes about 30 minutes.

04:38

I'm just kidding.

04:39

So the part of my garden fantasy is

04:42

this corset just stayed on the whole time

04:44

cuz it makes my boobs look so good and my waist.

04:47

So everything else came off.

04:51

I feel so snatched.

04:52

I won't even be able to communicate to you

04:56

how snatched I feel.

04:58

One thing about John is he'll think of every last detail.

05:02

So he'll think of like if you're standing

05:04

at the top of the stairs,

05:06

but the photographers are at the bottom of the stairs

05:09

and they're getting a glimpse up

05:11

and the skirt's made out of metal

05:12

and there's like little peekaboo holes within that.

05:16

He wanted to make sure that I am fully covered

05:21

in the appropriate places.

05:22

So I do have a custom Margiela thong.

05:29

So we're putting on the dress portion.

05:31

It's really the skirt,

05:33

but you'll see it's like a dress draping off.

05:39

I'll show you in a minute.

05:41

Dizavie' is a state of being undressed.

05:46

I learned that from Mr. John Galliano himself.

05:51

- Say that dress was up,

05:53

it would be all the same texture,

05:54

but because it's fallen down,

05:57

we've allowed ourselves to use the reverse of it

06:00

to evoke the inside of the dress.

06:05

- Oh, it's freezing through the forest,

06:07

so I just grabbed my boyfriend's sweater, cardigan.

06:16

Yep and it's falling off.

06:19

This is my shoe.

06:21

It's clever because if I had a shoe with a heel,

06:24

the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt.

06:28

And so that was our issue of walking.

06:30

So I'm going to have to put these on

06:32

and to wear these you're on your tiptoes

06:35

and you're balancing the whole time

06:37

flexing your calf muscles.

06:39

So that's what I'm gonna have to do

06:42

is stand on my tippy toes.

06:44

But I think ballerinas do it

06:46

and they probably have a lot of practice.

06:49

This is our only practice, but we'll do it.

06:52

I think we really need the height on this look,

06:54

so we gotta do what we gotta do.

06:57

Probably, we should measure,

07:01

that would be so interesting.

07:02

- I'm 6'3.

07:03

- So what am I, six feet?

07:05

- I think you're six foot.

07:06

- That's crazy.

07:07

- But so then I can't lean back

07:09

and I'm on my toes from here on out.

07:22

Wow.

07:29

If I bend over I elongate.

07:37

So we're gonna go take some photos.

07:45

I'm so glad you guys are able to join my final fitting.

07:48

I'll see you on Monday.
