Cynthia Erivo Teases Met Gala Look Could Include ‘Wicked’ Detail, But ‘You May Have to Search for It’


This year's Met Gala will mark Cynthia Erivo's sixth time at the event.

“Walking on the Met Gala carpet that year was really fucking nerve-wracking,” she told me Sunday night at UTA’s pre-Met party at Nubeluz at the Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad. Asked to describe this year’s look, Erivo teased, “It’s almost like I have run through a garden and things have fallen on me.” Her signature long nails were already in place on Sunday—they’re an earthy palette and decorated with small flowers and foliage. When asked if she knows who the surprise performer is at this year’s ball, Erivo smiled, “I do,” before she made her way toward the back of the party to catch up with Gabrielle Union and CNN’s Abby Phillip.
