2025’s Met Gala saw me, Ashley Graham, radiating an air of casual elegance, but let me tell you, the glamour masked a backstage crisis that threatened to ruin my evening. In a heartfelt Substack post dated May 22nd, I shared the tale of the last-minute pandemonium I encountered when I accidentally spilled mint oil on my custom BOSS gown mere moments before making my grand entrance.
2025 saw Graham gracing the Met Gala, themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, in an impeccably tailored grey-and-white pinstripe gown. However, as she was about to depart, a smidgen of mint oil dripped onto her dress’s bodice, causing quite the commotion as everyone pitched in to rectify the predicament.
Given the elevator was not functioning due to a malfunction and time was pressing, Graham and her team attempted various solutions ranging from hairdryers to cleaning solvents; however, none of these methods proved successful. “The only thing that might work is some Dawn and perhaps a dry cleaner,” she penned in her message.
In a flash of inspiration, Graham devised an elegant remedy: she employed a dazzling diamond brooch by Nikos Koulis to conceal the stain. “I must confess,” she said modestly, “that was my brilliant brainstorm.” The eye-catching accessory—a design featuring open loops adorned with diamonds—fitted snugly over the discolored spot, harmonizing effortlessly with her ensemble.
Despite casually mentioning she wished for more brooches, she only had one – which turned out to be the focal point of her outfit. She teamed it with bold earrings that gracefully framed her ears and a satin pocket square to complement her well-coordinated, thematically fitting attire.
Later on, the 37-year-old posted backstage photos from Instagram, such as her team’s frantic efforts to dry a stain and a joyful shot showing her excitement when the brooch miraculously worked. Her playful comment? “Oil spill in aisle MET GALA.” Just like a seasoned supermodel, Graham managed to transform a wardrobe mishap into one of the night’s most buzzworthy incidents.
