“She was actually sitting at my table. And I stand in the receiving line, and I don’t see the people arriving. I don’t have a secret live stream being zoomed into my earphone. I’m just standing there shaking everybody’s hands saying, Thank you for coming, blah, blah, blah. I said, ‘Thank you for coming,’ and she went by,” Anna told The New Yorker.
She continued, “Then I went up to her before we all sat down at the table. I said, ‘I just love your dress.’ I’d only seen her from the front.”
“It wasn’t until the next day that I understood what had happened. So, fortunately, I had a wonderful evening,” Anna added. “I think everybody uses fashion in different ways, and, obviously, that was something that was important to her.”
