00:00This is the moment of all moments, when I get to be here with my friend Evan, of course, but Miss Ross, Miss Diana Ross is here.
00:07Did you know you were just going to come and shut the whole carpet down? Was that the plan? Because that's what just happened.
00:13No, there was not a plan. Everything was really, really a last moment.
00:18My son persuaded me, because I'm actually on tour. She said, Mom, you've got to go.
00:23You haven't been since 2003. Like, that is crazy. It's been a long time.
00:28So tell me the inspiration behind your look, because it was iconic, my favorite look of the night.
00:33A forever family gown. It has the names of all my children and my eight grandchildren.
00:38So everybody's name is embroidered. And the hat, you know, like I had to be careful with the hat, because my head was pretty big.
00:45She's the best thing of all time.
00:47She's the best thing.
00:48She is the Met Ball.
00:49You are the Met Ball. You are the moment. Thank you for coming to say hi to me. I love you so, so much.
00:54It's my pleasure. I'm so happy. I'm with my daughter, Tracy.
00:58Yes, yes, of course. Love, Tracy.
