Before Anna Wintour’s guests hit the red carpet and the Met’s hallowed steps, they make their way through the lobby of the famed Mark Hotel. Yesterday evening, Met Gala veterans like Bella Hadid, Sebastian Stan, and Emma Stone descended from their dressing rooms and made their way through a gauntlet of cameras set up in the grand lobby, before pausing to snap and sign a Polaroid—courtesy of the photographer Andrew Tess—exclusively for Interview. Below, Rosalía, Janelle Monáe, Paloma Elsesser, Anderson .Paak, Precious Lee, and countless others show off their Met Gala finery before the big event.
