00:00Hey Essence, it's me Serena and I'm here for the Met Gala 2024 so come on and get ready with me.
00:13Essence are you ready to win? The advice I would give to someone attending their first Met Gala is
00:17to have fun and like take lots of memories and just really enjoy it because it's so fun it's
00:23such an amazing night for fashion and such an amazing like time to get to see what everyone
00:28is wearing and who all is there and it's really cool. So the theme Garden of Time and the exhibit
00:35being Sleeping Beauty really resonates with me because anyone knows me knows that I'm obsessed
00:40with like these Disney movies so this is right up my alley like it just totally like the Garden of
00:47Time is all in my hair. I feel like I'm wearing like a modern version of like a Belle gown even
00:53though Sleeping Beauty is not Belle but still I love her so anyway um it uh it's it's fantastic
01:00theme this year. In one word I would describe my look as whimsical but I would say golden whimsical.
01:06Tonight I'm wearing Balenciaga and the story was just you know to go for that
01:11Sleeping Beauty kind of storyline with a lot of fabric. I'm wearing over 25 meters of fabric which
01:17is a little bit insane and this like gold lame kind of feel things that you really saw in the 80s
01:24like the special lame kind of fabric but then putting that into a complete gown so it's like I'm noisy
01:30when I walk by because that that material just has like this noise but it gives this incredible golden
01:35shine and golden shimmer that is just you know really cool. I love the design and I think it's just
01:42fantastic. The headpiece and the jewelry was designed by Angela Meadows. She like always has these insane
01:48designs and so I loved how she wanted to put all this like garden in my hair but like a golden garden
01:54and um even with the jewelry with my stylist Keisha she like gave me all this like this golden story.
02:01I happen to love gold. Gold is like my favorite color which no one really says but it's my favorite color
02:06because I like gold medals um so like it's just this whole golden thing. Obviously my favorite part of
02:13the Met Gala outside the carpet experience is going inside and seeing everyone that you only see once
02:18or twice a year and just having fun with everyone and also obviously the after parties. The creation of
02:24Wynn is my new beauty line. I am very active. I played a sport. There's this misconception that you can't
02:30be beautiful and strong at the same time so for me I wanted to create a beauty line that said yeah you can be
02:35beautiful and you can be strong and you can be winning whatever you want to do at the same time
02:39and so that was the concept of Wynn Beauty so it's like active beauty that you can wear all day it lasts
02:44all day um and it's something that you can wear every day and so I like that. I don't necessarily look
02:51like this every day but you know because I can't go to school my daughter's school looking this and
02:57wearing this outfit but I that's what I want to do is create a beauty line that you can literally wear every day.
