Amanda Seyfried, known for her role in 'The Housemaid,' brought a touch of farm life to the glamorous Met Gala this year. The actress, who famously played a 'Mean Girl' in her early career, embraced the 'Costume Art' theme by wearing an all-pink ensemble. While walking the white carpet, she shared insights into her unique preparation for the event.

Seyfried, who owns a farm in Catskill, New York, revealed that spending time with her animals, especially her donkey Gus, was key to getting ready for the night. In an interview with Vogue, she said, 'It's great. It's the best thing. I was rubbing his ears this morning to get ready.' She emphasized the balance between her rural life and the extravagant event, adding, 'It's nice to come to the giant Met Ball ... having had just been walking to the clovers and petting the goats and horses. But I did start out my day there. It's so balanced.'
