With the 2025 Met Gala just days away, Anna Wintour is giving fans a rare peek behind the curtain of fashion's most glamorous night.
In an interview with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Michael Strahan, airing in part on Friday and in full on Monday, the legendary Vogue editor-in-chief shared final details of the event she's helped shape since first taking up the reins in 1995.
Known for her strong presence and signature sunglasses, Wintour showed a lighter and candid side during her conversation with Strahan as she admitted even she doesn't always know what everyone will be wearing.
"Is it true that you know in advance what all the guests will be wearing?" Strahan asked.
"No," Wintour replied with a laugh. "Many call and ask for our advice, so we try and help some of them as best we can. Some, [I have] no idea."
One guest who did reach out was Met Gala co-chair Colman Domingo. Strahan revealed that Domingo had texted Wintour a photo of his look and was floored by her reaction.

"It was his idea. It was a clever idea," Wintour responded, praising the actor's vision.
As for the other co-chairs, Wintour admitted she hasn't seen all their final looks either.
"Lewis [Hamilton] -- I'm not sure I entirely believe him -- says he doesn't have a picture, but it's great," she said, laughing. "And Pharrell [Williams] and [A$AP] Rocky have both described to me what they're wearing. It sounds perfect."
Curious about how much confidence Wintour places in the co-chairs' style choices, Strahan asked whether she trusts Hamilton, despite not having seen his outfit.
Wintour replied, "I trust Lewis. Lewis totally knows what he's doing."
"And I'm sure they all want your seal of approval," Strahan added.
"Yeah," she responded with a smile.
While fashion takes center stage, Wintour also revealed that even in the final hours before the Met Gala, not everything is set in stone, especially the entertainment.
"It's locked in, but you know, 'locked in' and 'happening' are very different things," she said.
The 2025 Met Gala will take place May 5, with the corresponding Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute exhibit opening to the public on May 10. This year's dress code, "Tailored for You," pays tribute to menswear and suiting -- from silhouettes to fabrics and accessories -- and is inspired by the year's gala and exhibition theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."
Vogue described the theme as "examining the importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora" with the Black dandy as its central focus.
Catch the full interview with Anna Wintour on "GMA" Monday, May 5, at 7 a.m. ET, hours before the stars start hitting the iconic Met steps.
