At the 2025 Met Gala carpet, Danielle Deadwyler talks about what the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" means to her. Plus, she talks about the response to her film 'The Woman in the Yard.'
00:00How you doing? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm great. Tell us who you're wearing. I'm wearing Who Decides War. It's a designer couple that are based in New York. And I'm excited to be here. This is maddening.
00:15How special does this theme feel, particularly right now in this country, the theme of tonight? How special? How special does the theme feel to you?
00:23It's extremely special. It's the kind of historical reckoning that's necessary for any type of true progress.
00:31And dealing with, you know, the beauty of the dandy and how it's about this kind of self-interpretation.
00:38It's about redefining and defining of self, self-architecting, self-making. All of that is critical.
00:44And the intricacies of that are witnessed in the detail, in the superfine details of how we make ourselves from day to day and to be in the most grand spaces.
00:58Who's at your table tonight?
01:00I don't know. I'm not telling. I'm not telling nothing.
01:07Any after parties on your list?
01:09I'm going to do what has to be done, but I got to go to bed.
01:15Also, I got to ask a woman in the yard, because I love a horror. How are you feeling about responsibility?
01:20I'm excited. I'm super excited about it. You know, Blumhouse with an indie project like that, it's just beautiful to hear things that people are talking about and feeling from it.
01:31About the themes that are explored, about self, about maternity and motherhood, about, you know, some folks are just plain old scaredy cats, and that's fine too.
