Nicholas Galitzine, a 29-year-old actor attended his first-ever Met Gala on Monday. He got some words of wisdom before stepping onto the Met’s iconic steps from his ‘The Idea of You’ co-star, Anne Hathaway. She gave him some encouragement ahead of the big night saying, “Enjoy it.” After the pep talk from Hathaway, Galitzine shook off the nerves and got ready for the event, donning a custom Fendi tuxedo for the occasion.

Galitzine expressed his excitement by saying, “It’s my first Met, so I’m excited to be here.” He mentioned that he’s becoming quite used to these events now and he has so many friends who are inside, so he’s excited to go see some friends.

Galitzine and other event attendees were treated to a “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”-themed evening, which was co-hosted by Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny. The dress code for the evening was “The Garden of Time,” which was inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same title.

For Galitzine, the Met Gala comes on the heels of the release of his and Hathaway’s film, ‘The Idea of You’. The actor expressed his gratitude towards fans for the love they have shown for the film, saying, “It’s been unreal. I am so grateful… I’m feeling a lot of love, which is really nice.”
