00:05This is going to be my room service.
00:07Oh, Vogue!
00:08It's you guys.
00:10Come on in.
00:15I'm Jafar Jackson.
00:16I am an actor.
00:18I portray Michael Jackson in the new film, Michael.
00:21And we're here in New York.
00:22I'm getting ready for my first Met Gala,
00:25which is incredible.
00:27It's surreal.
00:27To be able to come and attend for my very first time
00:31after all this buzz on the film,
00:33I couldn't be happier.
00:35I started off this day actually with a nice spa day.
00:38I went down, got a nice 60-minute massage,
00:42went to the steam room, went to the sauna.
00:45It started off the most calm day.
00:47Tonight means it allows me to get into some clothes
00:50that really feel true and right
00:53and that allows me to feel my best.
00:55I'm honestly really excited to see Coleman Domingos.
00:58My father in the film who plays Joseph,
01:01I know he's going to bring it.
01:03So I'm excited to see what he's going to wear.
01:08We are going for natural
01:12because we want him to look exactly like he is.
01:15Just a little bit better.
01:17It's all about balance.
01:18I don't want to do too much and being very subtle.
01:21I would like to look as natural as possible.
01:23I'm not doing anything I'm not used to doing
01:25and just sticking to how I look,
01:28but just enhancing it with little subtleties here and there.
01:31It's actually only our second time together.
01:33So I'm going to see how long he keeps me.
01:36Hair is a little different.
01:38I'm a little particular in,
01:40how should I say, picky with my hair.
01:42So I am the only one that touches my hair.
01:45Well, you know, I had my hair long for a while
01:47when I was shooting.
01:48I grew up having a ponytail.
01:50My hair was like almost down to my lower back.
01:54So I grew up with long hair for many years
01:57and I didn't cut until I was 13.
01:58I'm enjoying it short right now.
02:00I don't know if I'd go bald though,
02:03unless it's for a roll, you know,
02:05that'd be fun to see how I look with the full buzz cut.
02:08Hi everyone.
02:09I'm Nicole Marrone.
02:10I'm Alaria's assistant stylist.
02:12Today we're wearing Polo Ralph Lauren to the Met Gala.
02:14This suit is super special.
02:16It's Look 28 from the Fall Men's Collection.
02:19It has very special vintage details throughout the buttons.
02:23The vest is a black silk formal vest
02:26with an antique watch chain.
02:28It's getting paired with a pleated tuxedo shirt
02:32and a great contrast with their red socks
02:35and great shoes.
02:39Just finished grooming.
02:41All set and done.
02:42And look, now we have the outfit.
02:44It is finally here.
02:46Wow.
02:47This is beautiful.
02:48This really excites me
02:50because I love the detailing and the crest.
02:54I've always loved the crest and the patches.
02:58I know Michael loved it always with his outfits
03:01and it's something I found a fond love of as well.
03:04Can't go wrong with the red socks
03:05to really help complement the whole outfit.
03:08When I had that fitting for the first time with it on,
03:10it felt right.
03:11I wanted to feel like it's a timeless outfit
03:13that speaks to everyone
03:14and it really has the class
03:16and it gives that also vintage feel.
03:18But yeah, I would just say timeless.
03:22It's getting closer and closer.
03:23So I feel even more ready and I feel great.
03:26I love the way it feels on me.
03:28Right now I'm really liking this vest
03:30with these red socks that really makes it pop.
03:33This nice chain that's coming across the front.
03:35As of now, that's probably my favorite part about it.
03:43Wearing something like this, no, I feel very, very great.
03:47In a great mood, have some great confidence.
03:50I'm feeling sharp in this jacket, this vest.
03:54These red socks is really what's doing it for me.
03:56Just sticking out with some symbolism there.
03:59Thank you for getting ready with me, Vogue,
04:01but it's time to go.
04:01Gonna head to the Met.
04:02I'll see you there.
04:10I'll see you there.
04:10Bye.
04:10Bye.
