The closer we get to the Met Gala, the more New York fills up with European and Los Angeles-based celebrities and fashion folk, and on Thursday evening they were all at the new Prada men’s store.
The Fifth Avenue boutique was swimming with the likes of Claire Danes, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tracee Ellis Ross, Hunter Schafer, Sarah Pidgeon, Letitia Wright, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Kelsey Asbille, Benito Skinner, Christopher Briney, Brandon Wilson, Giveon, Dara Allen, Boyd Holbrook, Molly Gordon, Alisha Boe, Julez Smith and more. Tables of bucket hats and espadrilles greeted guests upon arrival, as trays of Negronis passed by.
Skinner, who is promoting his new show “Overcompensating,” had chosen a gray henley and oversize denim jacket for the night.
“We had our junket today and then at the end I got to slip into a little Prada henley and now I’m here,” he said. “I’ve loved Prada forever. Anytime I can wear a little denim overcoat and feel tiny…”
“Look at this guy’s chest,” his close friend and costar Mary Beth Barone said, opening Skinner’s jacket. “Not to objectify you, but…“
“No please,” he told her.
“We’ve been to Pradas in two or three different countries,” Barone added. “Next up, space,” Skinner said. “Prada Blue Origin.”
Boe is also soon to enter press mode, for season two of her hit Apple show “Buccaneers.”
“It’s going to be so much wilder, bigger, more romantic, more sexy, a lot more drama. And I think we have gone more crazy with makeup and beauty,” she said. “Which is the most fun with period dramas.”
Boe was in attendance with her costar Josie Totah, and was dressed in a floral Prada number.
“It fits like a glove and I just feel very springy,” she said.
