Cynthia Erivo experienced imposter syndrome during first Met Gala. The Widows actress told Variety on Sunday that she had a lot of nerves as she walked the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City during fashion's biggest night in 2016. "Walking on the Met Gala carpet that year was really f**king nerve-wracking. I had just finished The Color Purple (on Broadway). I went with Coach. I was new so I didn't know what to expect. It's that weird thing where I was like, 'I don't know if I'm supposed to be here.' It was a lot of imposter syndrome.", The British actress teased the look she would be sporting to her sixth Met Gala on Monday: an ensemble that fits in with The Garden of Time theme. "It's almost like I have run through a garden and things have fallen on me." Cynthia Erivo, Variety. The star also revealed that there might be a nod to Wicked, her upcoming movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical. "There's always going to be an aspect of Wicked in everything I do. But sometimes you may have to search for it." Cynthia Erivo, Variety. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
