Ahead of the MetGala, Tommy Dorfman taught Vogue how to master those tricky Met steps
’s grand red carpet presents a challenge to the A-Listers who walk it. Instead of walking along a flat surface, stars must climb up the museum’s grand staircase—which is over 13 feet high and 154 feet long—all the while hitting their poses and showing off their custom garments for the array of photographers. Harder than you’d think. So, ahead of the grand bash tonight,Given this will be Dorfman’s first-ever Met Gala, she was the perfect star to do a quick red carpet rehearsal with.
Just five days before the Met, then, Dorfman and photographer Hunter Abrams took over the Met steps: crowds and all. Dorfman wore a draped, floor-length gownthat she has been eyeing for months. “I got to go to the [Loewe spring 2022] show in September, and when this dress hit the runway, I started crying,” says Dorfman. While beautiful, the design’s breezy fabric and cutouts were tricky to navigate on a windy day—all the better to practice with.
As for what Dorfman will be wearing tonight? “I’m a big fan of the designer I’m wearing. I used to sell his clothes when I worked at Dover Street Market in 2013,” she hints. “Without revealing too much, I’ve never worn anything with a train before this Met, so I’m really excited about that.” She looks forward to serving up a full fashion fantasy. “To be included in a night honoring such talented designers and artists is just thrilling for me,” says Dorfman.
