.sangeetaskurtz spent Tuesday observing the MetGala’s unofficial red carpet in the lobby of the Mark Hotel
Photo: Gus Aronson It’s half past three on the day of the Met Gala, and there’s a feeling of impending mayhem in the lobby of the Mark Hotel. Stylists are rushing about, refrigerator-sized suitcases in tow, while publicists shove through throngs of gawking guests. The celebrities will leave soon, more or less in order of fame, and hordes of screaming fans can already be heard outside.
Photo: Gus Aronson I go to the bathroom. Newlyweds Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz come in after me, and a photographer begins taking photos of them in the mirror. “More lips, Nicola. More chest, Brooklyn,” she says. “Good, good.” It’s clever: As the photographer snaps away, Nicola holds up her phone so it looks as if she’s responsible for the photos. I open the stall door slightly. “Stay in the stall!” yells the photographer as I ruin one of the fake mirror pictures.
Nearby, Sabrina Carpenter, who is wearing Paco Rabanne, practices saying the designer’s name: “Paca Rabonne … Paco Robone …” Her publicist looks frazzled when she doesn’t get it a third time. I hear a scream and, turning to the elevator, I see Jack Harlow emerging. Someone explains him as “Gen-Z Post Malone,” and I ask him what he’s most excited for. “I dunno, just tell them something good about me,” he says, and then makes a bunch of mystifying gang signs with his hands.
By 7:45 p.m., the lobby empties as the celebrities do whatever they do at the Met Gala 0.3 miles away. The Mark is already preparing for their return and rolls out its Jean-Georges hot-dog cart as the NYPD removes lurkers from the lobby. One who gets missed, a TikToker in a blonde wig and balaclava, sneaked in using fake Getty credentials. “You have to be street-smart,” she tells me, tapping her nose, and I notice “Fuck 12” tattooed between her fingers.
