Gabrielle Union has been consistently considered someone to watch on the Met Gala red carpet. But just like every celebrity, her nerves still get the best of her when she enters the event. In an interview with PEOPLE, the 51-year-old actor discussed her love of the Met Gala and working with designers to put out something new each year.

She said, "I love that part; I think it's nerve-wracking for a lot of people, but when you really f**king with a designer and you really love leaning into their creativity and their interpretation of the theme and you are a conduit of somebody else's artistic freedom and expression that also matches your own, it's awesome."


Union stated that she enjoys spending time on the carpet, soaking up as much creative energy as possible. Despite her fondness for strolling the red carpet, Union admitted that coming into a room full of stars from many sectors may be scary. She also said that it can be a little nerve-wracking if someone isn’t familiar with everyone at the designated. 

Meanwhile, this year was Gabrielle Union’s fifth time attending the Met Gala. For this year’s theme, The Garden of Time, she partnered with Michael Kors for her outfit.
