A little while later, Adams’ seatmate, Emma Stone, entered the backstage fracas. Camera flashes enveloped the pair.
“I feel like I’ve only ever met you under circumstances like this,” Stone said as they exchanged greetings.
“I’ve met her once before, and it was at the Met Ball and it was full action, like: ‘Hi, great to meet you. Everyone is taking pictures of everyone,’” Stone said, all smiles, as Adams was examining the racks of clothes that lined the room. It was Stone’s second consecutive season taking in the show, though she still wasn’t quite accustomed to the scene.
“The show part is really interesting,” she said. “The backstage world is not anything that I’m used to. This is my third fashion show ever. It’s just there’s, like, a lot of flashes and a lot of people and a lot of models, who are like anomalies of people. It’s like you’re in a lucid dream, like you’re in ‘Vanilla Sky.’”
