Camila Cabello has addressed rumors that her Met Gala bag, made from a block of ice, cost £25,000.
While appearing in Tonight with Jimmy Fallon On the show, the “I Luv It” singer, 27, said she was amused that some fans had created a rumor that the bag had a high price tag.
“Guys, it's frozen water!” she joked. “You can do it at home! “It’s the cost of the water plus a rose we got from Etsy.”
Cabello then admitted that she didn't think about “how ice melts quickly” when her bag broke while she was standing in line to get into the star-studded fashion event last month.
The ice clutch, made from a copper rose frozen inside a block of ice, was custom made by Jane Wade to fit the dress code and theme of the 2024 event: “Sleeping Beauties: The Awakening of the fashion”.
The singer recalled taking her bag out of the freezer moments before attending the Met Gala, but had a “nightmare” situation when the ice began to melt and the strap broke, and none of her team were allowed to stand in line to help her. .
“I didn't think about how ice melts very quickly, from what I understand [to the Met Gala] And it's my worst nightmare situation, where all of a sudden, the clutch breaks, and I think Ed Sheeran was there telling a joke or something, and someone accidentally hit him,” he recalled.
The singer, who rose to fame through the pop group Fifth Harmony, said she was surrounded by celebrities including Emma Chamberlain and Gaia Gerber, who turned and gasped when they saw the strap come loose from the bag.
The singer was forced to hold the frozen bag, without a handle, as if it were a handbag, but ended up with her arm very cold and wet.
Fallon, looking at photos of Cabello on the red carpet after the bag incident, said with a laugh: “You're glamorously holding a block of ice, you don't even look like I'm freezing!”
Cabello said that at that point it was “finished.”
In video clips taken at the fashion event, Cabello appeared distraught as she showed a reporter her frozen, wet hand and explained that her purse had broken while she was standing in line to have her photo taken.
The Met Gala is famous for making celebrities wait several hours to enter the Metropolitan Museum, where the annual fashion event takes place.
After the event, Cabello poked fun at the fashion mishap, sharing a photo of herself holding the bag on social media and writing, “Brrrr.”
“I feel like it's impermanence and things deteriorate over time and the beauty in that,” he said. Extra about his gaze.
