Daisy Edgar-Jones has seen it. I am, of course, referring to the viral video of her red-carpet faux pas at the Met Gala in May this year. When I bring it up, the English actor’s fair complexion stains crimson as she buries her face in her hands. “Oh my God. This moment will forever haunt me! I was trying to be polite; I didn’t know I was meant to walk off,” she protests before erupting into giggles.
For those who are yet to see the clip, Edgar-Jones is being interviewed on the red carpet, and instead of moving on at the completion of the conversation she stands there hovering in silence. All of which was caught on camera, then packaged into a 15-second video with a computer-generated voiceover proclaiming it the “most awkward moment at the Met”. Within minutes of hitting social media platforms it had clocked up millions of views.
To be fair to the first-time attendee, rising to fame during a pandemic didn’t exactly offer much in the way of practice for glittery A-list events, so it’s no wonder Edgar-Jones had a deer-in-the-headlights moment at the most star-studded night of the year. “I think I was so overwhelmed about being there, I was not in my body. It was such a surreal experience. But I felt very lucky because I knew Paul [Mescal] and Phoebe [Bridgers], who were there, and Sebastian [Stan], who was hard to miss,” she quips, referring to her Fresh co-star’s hot-pink Valentino suit.
Despite the aforementioned moment, she did have a wonderful evening at the illustrious event. And the newly appointed global Tiffany & Co. ambassador certainly looked the part in her Daisy Buchananinspired crystal chain-mail Oscar de la Renta dress and Tiffany & Co. diamonds.
