Musicians, actors, reality TV stars, social-media influencers, and athletes all came together for fashionās biggest night at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
With no storage of celebrities hitting the red carpet to show off their looks for the annual Met Gala, there were plenty of eyes watching their every move. Now, a body language expert and lip reader are sharing insight about the way your favorite stars were acting and what they were saying as they arrived on the carpet.
By now, weāve all seen the viral video of the moment a security guard stepped on Kim Kardashianās dress as she left the Ritz-Carlton in Manhattan. But you may not know what she said after the incident.
The SKIMS founder can be seen turning around the moment she felt someone on her dress. She then threw up one hand a quickly said something.
According to Nicola Hickling, who is theĀ founderĀ of theĀ LipReader which is a company specializing in lipreading and expert witness reports, Kardashian had six words for the security guard.
Hecking told The Mirror that the star said: āCan you watch where you step?ā
The professional lip reader later observed the reality star cursing, but not about the dress incident.
Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, Heckling told Showbiz Cheat Sheet that when Kardashian arrived at the Met, she mentioned that she lost a nail and eyed the floor as she asked for assistance saying: āOh s***! Can you find my nail?ā
Moments later, she uttered āthank youā to the person who helped her.
Heckling also caught what singer-songwriter Dua Lipa said while standing on the carpet with her boyfriend, British actor Callum Turner. Hecking noted that Lipa remarked that āEveryone looks so cool,ā to which Turner replied, āYouāre mine, baby.ā She then replied, āAnd youāre mine.ā
Darren Stanton is a body language and behavioral expert with a degree in psychology. He pointed out the Lipa and Turner showed a ādeep connectionā as cameras flashed but singer appeared āmore dominantā than her beau.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, Stanton shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that āDua Lipa and Callum Turner showed clear chemistry as they walked the carpet together. She came across as the more confident one, while he seemed less so. At one point, he didnāt quite know what to do with his left hand, which is a subtle sign of nervousness. She, on the other hand, automatically went into pose mode, which shows she is the more dominant one in these sorts of situations. She knew exactly what to do and what was required, whereas he was a bit more unsure.Ā
āAs a couple, they shared several prolonged and exaggerated glances, which indicates a strong level of rapport and trust. From their body language, it was clear they were very much in their own little bubble. The extended eye contact between them suggests thereās a deep emotional connection.ā
Showbiz Cheat Sheet acknowledges that conditions and cultures can impact body language and is sensitive to all backgrounds.
