Hollywood actress Halle Berry didn’t eat “anything all day” in the build-up to the Met Gala. The 58-year-old actress arrived at fashion’s biggest event but admitted that after leaving the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
She treated herself to some fried chicken after starving herself all day so that she could fit into her somewhat revealing LaQuan Smith dress, reports ‘Female First UK’.
She told E! News, “I haven’t eaten anything all day, trying to wear this dress. They told me I could have a little treat for myself, and come here and get some Cane’s chicken. So, I’m like, yes, I’m there”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, the Academy Award-winning star was then asked when she was left most “star-struck” during the evening and revealed that her “jaw dropped” when she got to witness a performance given by ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ crooner Stevie Wonder. She said: “I didn’t know this would happen but Stevie Wonder performed tonight, and that was just a jaw-dropping moment, I had no idea that I would get to see it like that. He has such a good voice, it was just a real treat”.
The ‘Never Let Go’ actress was dressed in a LaQuan original and explained that her personal “highlight” of the night came when she got to see several others wearing clothes also designed by him, more than a decade after she started working with the luxury fashion brand founder. She added, “I think seeing everybody out looking so dandy-ish and I think it was really special that I went with LaQuan , he designed my dress, I was his muse. To see him shine tonight and see his creations come to life on all the people he dressed was really special. It was so fun and so easy”.
“He showed me some sketches. I chose two that I really liked, so he made two dresses. The dresses were gorgeous. I could hardly choose. I asked LaQuan, ‘Which one would you like me to wear?’ So, I chose his favourite”, she added.

Kylie Jenner denied entry at Met Gala after-party
Reality TV star and makeup mogul Kylie Jenner was all ready to join other stars at the Met Gala after-party in New York City. She arrived in the wee hours, but unfortunately, she couldn’t enter the bash, which was hosted by Richie Akiva, Doja Cat and Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs. “They wouldn’t let her in,” said a witness. “They shut the door down because it was over capacity.” Another source claims that The Kardashians star arrived after midnight to meet up with her sister Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny who were already inside.
However, things were “chaotic” as there were over 100 people clamouring to get to the door. While Kylie was a welcome VIP and could just wait to be escorted into the bash through a side door, the cosmetics mogul got out of her car before organisers were ready for her arrival.
“She prematurely got out of her car,” explained the source. “Then she decided to go home because she didn’t want to be at a crowded party. She rarely goes to clubs.” Apparently, Kylie wasn’t the only celebrity who was denied entry that night. Janelle Monae, who had performed on top of the bar during a posh party at the Boom Boom Room earlier, and Gossip Girl star Evan Mock were turned away because the door was closed due to capacity.
