If you've been following along at NYLON today, you'll probably notice that we've had a rough go at the Met Gala. There are the after party aspects and an after party report in which we observe Usher being fascinated by card tricks. There are the preparation diaries of Kelsea Ballerini and Quannah Chasinghorse. And now, there's (more) of the unseen, unlike the celebrity interactions that fall into the epicenter of it all.
As our nightlife writer established during his hours of tracking, the Mark Hotel basically serves as the Met Ball control room for many celebs – it's where they go to hit a beat and change into their second look of the night. It's also where you'll get to see some impossible conversations and moments, like Kylie Jenner and Rosalía holding hands like a pair of schoolboys, or Tyla clutching her Balmain body-sculpting sand dress after she opened up to the back And who knew Karlie Kloss and Lewis Hamilton were friends? Or Emily Ratajkowski and Rachel Sennott?
Ahead, check out our edit of Mark's photos of The Cobrasnake in all its half-calm, half-chaotic glory.
