Jessica Biel is sharing her secrets on how she prepared for the 2024 Met Gala!

Following fashion’s biggest night, the actress, 42, posted behind-the-scenes content to show fans what's behind the glitz and glam for the annual event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

“Hey you guys,” she said while taking a bite of food in a selfie clip shared to TikTok on Wednesday, May 8. “I’m supposed to be getting dressed for the Met, but I had to eat something.”

She was “hiding in the corner of my room” as members of her glam squad frantically attempted to make sure she was dressed and on time, Biel explained.

“Everybody’s like, knocking on the door, ‘You gotta get dressed!’” Biel said before taking a break to chew her rushed meal. 

“I’m just trying to tell you, snack first, eat first!” she continued. 

The Candy alum then turned the camera away from herself to show off her hotel room where her pink floral gown and arm cover could be seen hanging up near a window and laid across her bed. 

“What REALLY happens on Met Monday 👀,” was the caption to her TikTok. 

“Yum! Okay, I’m gonna get dressed now,” Biel said before ending her video.
