Paris Hilton on Her First Met Gala

I am here with Marc Jacobs himself

and Paris Hilton are officially in the building.

Thanks so much for stopping by to chat for a little while.

So Paris, I'm gonna start with you.

This is your first Met Ball.

How does it feel to be at your first Met Ball?

I just feel so excited to be here

with the legend Marc Jacobs.

I just did his campaign and it was so incredible.

And I'm just loving the dress

that he made for me tonight.

The dress is absolutely stunning.

Marc, tell us about this dress.

Well this dress, I'd say,

well, maybe it would be interesting

and exciting to see her in a black gown.

You know, 'cause it's not typical for Paris.

So we approached her with the idea

and then we added the idea of leather

and she was all game and everything.

And then she had some comments like,

I need a little sparkle,

and, Could you make this fabric here?

And we worked together and made it happen.

And she looks fantastic.

Abs. Nailed it.

Nailed it. Nailed it.

Absolutely. Fantastic.

Hot. So Marc, I'm gonna say

you are one of fashion's most respected people

and I know you have an incredible amount

of respect for other designers.

So how do you think about this tonight,

honoring Karl and his legacy?

Well, Karl, I mean, I've looked up to Carl.

Karl's been a hero of mine since I was 17 years old

and looking at Chloe Collections.

And Karl's been a hero of mine

and he's also been a great supporter of mine.

And I think what I find so exciting

always about Karl's work and what he does

is that he was, to me, the true fashion designer.

Like there were no limits.

It was about unbridled creativity

but always with elegance and sophistication.

Absolutely. And tongue in cheek,

but always just in the sort of most loose

and cool like sort of smart, classy way.

Absolutely. Now Paris,

I know you tweeted a picture of you and Karl.

Tell us about that.

Karl and I hung out in Paris a couple times

and he was just such an inspiration to me always.

And we had so much fun and just so many memories.

I've always just looked up to him in so many ways.

Absolutely.

And I love that we're honoring him tonight.

Absolutely. You both did an incredible job.

Have the best time, have fun.

The hard part's over.

Now you can go and have a good time.

Yeah, thanks. All right. Thanks, Marc.

Thank you, Paris. Thank you.

All right. Thank you so much.
