How Rachel Zegler Got Ready for the 2024 Met GalaEmilio Madrid

The Met Gala is a flurry of madness, with looks after looks and what feels like endless amount of chaos. Rachel Zegler was able to find some calm before the storm—with her dog, Lenny!—before getting ready at the Pierre Hotel with the help of her team and Michael Kors, who dressed her in baby blue for the big day. “He’s been championing me and supporting my career for years,” says Zegler, who attended with the Kors crew for her second Met Gala ever. Keep scrolling to see her mini-diary from before, during, and after the big night.


Snuggling with my dog, who adorably woke me up about four hours earlier than what should be considered legal.

A sweet note from Michael before the big day. He’s been championing me and supporting my career for years, so it meant so much to me when he asked if I would represent him at the Met!

The beautiful jewels from Chopard, picked out by my stylist Sarah Slutsky Tooley, who is the reason all of this came together so seamlessly.

I love when my makeup artist Allan Avendaño gets to work on my face.

The final look of the night: a sweatshirt, made by Kors, of course. Gotta stay cozy for the after-after party.
