"The makeup was inspired by Black Swan because me and my groomer Aika love that movie. We wanted to reference cinema and kind of wanted to do the white swan becoming the black swan a little bit ... Aika killed it."
"Inspiration - A study in transformation: where innocence fractures and grace darkens, the white swan shedding softness to emerge as something sharper, untouchable, and entirely reborn."
"Met Gala was chaos and a career highlight. High pressure, high stakes. As an artist, I receive all feedback, positive and negative, with grace and gratitude; it's all part of growth. Taking a risk always comes at a cost and I stand by that. There's always room to evolve, no matter where I am in my career."
"But while everyone is entitled to an opinion, it's important to remember there's a human with feelings behind the work, building something with purpose, vision and heart. It costs nothing to be kind."
A makeup look created for a Met Gala appearance used grungy inspiration from Black Swan, featuring shimmering blue on one eye and sparkling red on the other, with smudged winged liner. The artist described the concept as a transformation from a white swan into a black swan, referencing cinema and the idea of innocence fracturing into something sharper. After some negative comments criticized the application and wing symmetry, the makeup artist posted a response emphasizing that feedback is part of growth. The message stressed that the work is made by a human with feelings and that being kind costs nothing.
