During an interview with La La Anthony for Vogue's official red carpet livestream, Latifah and Nichols shared their thoughts on the momentous occasion. Latifah revealed that Nichols had given her a heads-up about the excitement and attention they would receive on the Met Gala staircase. She said to Vogue, "Eboni warned me a little bit."
Then Nicholas chimed in, "It was lovely, it's just so exciting: all the cameras, everyone's screaming Dana's name. It's lovely."
Latifah told the outlet, "I'm actually quite happy. This has been a wonderful experience, everything from top to bottom, thank you again, Thom Browne, for having us!"
A spokesperson for Thom Browne described Latifah's dress to Vogue, “The delicacy of each individual piece coming together through buttons, clasps, hand-sewn details, and intricate embellishments plays to the idea of fragility that you’ll see in Monday’s exhibit.”

Queen Latifah's history with the Thom Browne brand
Expressing her gratitude to designer Thom Browne, Latifah reflected on the wonderful journey of her Met Gala debut. The event marked another milestone in her illustrious career, following her role as host at the amfAR Gala in France the previous year, where she and Nichols showed solidarity while raising funds for AIDS research.
