00:02 Good to see you always.

00:03 Oh my goodness.

00:04 Okay, talk to me. Let me just get out of the way.

00:05 I wasn't heavy breathing when I got up here.

00:07 Talk to me about the whole look.

00:09 It took, it was that slow to walk up with because

00:12 I'm literally wearing a sculpture by Tom Brown and his team.

00:15 This is...

00:16 2,800,000 beads just on the dress alone.

00:20 It took 20 people 5,000 hours to work on this look.

00:24 Wow.

00:25 70 people worked on it.

00:26 So I'm just so honored to be here presenting this for them.

00:29 I think that's what this is all about is, you know,

00:34 being able to celebrate creativity together,

00:38 come raise money for the Costume Institute,

00:41 and we just had so much fun with the theme.

00:44 I feel like this should be hung up in there, like right away.

00:47 And that's what Tom really wanted is he wanted the attention to detail

00:51 to be obvious and for it to be worth a museum.

00:55 I'm just, I'm like, I don't even know what to say.

00:57 I'm like trying to find the words.
