"I'm more low key. Anything that keeps me in the shadows, I'm like, 'Yes, that's me.' But it's only right to really do your first Met Gala with stars or water droplets or crystals-it's all a metaphor for it being a star-making year."
"When I got the sketches, I was immediately blown away. Getting to see it in person and try it on, just further invigorated that. I don't wear a lot of trenches, but when you get to wear a Louis Vuitton custom trench from head to toe-and I get to use my height to an advantage."
"It's being ready to take on the world's watchful eyes with poise, purpose, and personality. And Withers had all three of those things in the bag."
"I met Beyonce last night. That takes the cake for me. Blue [Ivy] introduced herself and was familiar with some of my press for a film that I did, specifically the Quenlin Blackwell video."
Tyriq Withers attended his first Met Gala in a custom Louis Vuitton outfit, featuring a sheer shirt and trench coat. He typically prefers a low-key lifestyle but felt it was important to embrace the event's significance. Withers expressed excitement upon seeing his outfit for the first time and emphasized the importance of being poised and confident at such a high-profile event. A highlight of the night was meeting Beyoncé, which he described as a memorable experience.
