Bruna Marquezine shared some behind-the-scenes details about her experience at the MET Gala during a recent podcast interview with Mica Rocha in the early hours of Wednesday. She attended the prestigious event for the first time in 2024 and was the third Brazilian actress to grace the ball. Bruna opened up about the struggles she faced with her dress at the gala.
She mentioned that she had the corset of her dress tightened as much as possible, making it difficult for her to breathe. The rigid structure of the dress started to hurt her skin, with the corset dividing her in the middle and a thick fabric causing discomfort. Her makeup artist even warned her that the cuts from the dress could start bleeding during the event.
To prevent any mishaps, Bruna revealed that they used breast tape on her leg to avoid any potential bleeding incidents. Despite the challenges with her dress, she received compliments from Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth, who admired her unique outfit at the gala.
During the event, Bruna also wanted to greet actress Zendaya, one of the hosts of the party. Despite her initial hesitation, she approached Zendaya’s table, struck up a conversation, and the two exchanged phone numbers, forming a new friendship.
Aside from the glamorous moments, Bruna admitted feeling overwhelmed at the gala without a familiar face nearby. She briefly retreated to the bathroom to collect herself but eventually returned to the event. Additionally, she mentioned her disappointment with the dinner menu but refrained from criticizing the food to ensure she would be invited back in the future.
Overall, Bruna’s experience at the MET Gala was a mix of excitement, nerves, and unexpected encounters with Hollywood stars. Despite the challenges she faced with her dress and the overwhelming atmosphere of the event, she managed to navigate the evening with grace and even forged new friendships along the way.
