Devyn Garcia<\/a> had a case of the first-time jitters before hitting the Met Gala red carpet<\/a>\u2014and, really, who wouldn\u2019t? \u201cBefore the fitting, I was just thinking about all these celebrities that will be there, what happens in there,\u201d the model told Vogue in the lead up to the 2026 Met Gala<\/a>. \u201cPlus, I\u2019m still a little frazzled by the stairs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luckily, Garcia put her nerves to rest with help from one Michael Kors<\/a>. \u201cHe made it sound easy and relaxed\u2014not this hyped-up thing in my head,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

It certainly helps that Garcia and Kors go way back: the model appeared in several of the designer\u2019s shows\u2014as has her mother, Jennie Pickens. \u201cMy mom walked in his show back in the \u201990s,\u201d she says. \u201cThey pulled up videos of it!\u201d The significance isn\u2019t lost on Kors, either, who considers Garcia\u2019s first Met \u201ca full circle moment.\u201d He adds: \u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to dress different generations of women and to continue the evolution of timeless style.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inspired by the nude body subsection of the \u201cCostume Art<\/a>\u201d exhibition, Kors designed a dress meant to mimic Garcia\u2019s own form. \u201cTo highlight her fabulous curves and her confident strength, I designed a trompe l\u2019oeil viscose jacquard crystal-embellished column that allows one to leave the house naked yet fully dressed,\u201d Kors says. Or, as Garcia said with a laugh: \u201cEverything is placed pretty much where my bits are.\u201d<\/p>\n
