‘We have a Cinderella situation here’: Telemundo reporter Genesis Suero shines in gold at the Met Gala
Attending the Met Gala is one thing, but embodying the essence of its theme is another. And it looks like Genesis Suero is one of this year's gala’s shining stars.
Telemundo reporter Genesis Suero caught the attention of netizens on social media as she covered the 2022 Met Gala in a gold gown. Since the theme of this year’s charity gala is “Gilded Glamour,” Suero’s dress is a fitting homage to the Glided Age.
The reporter took to Instagram to share that it was her first time covering the annual ball. “Grateful with all the opportunities that have landed my way. Today for the first time ever I can proudly announce my special coverage from the red carpet of the Met Gala from the Metropolitan Museum of New York City.”
“I am beyond blessed with all those who’ve made this magical moment a full reality,” she added.
Suero’s breathtaking, Cinderella-inspired gown with sheer puff sleeves was created by Dominican designer Lucia Rodriguez.
Of course, netizens couldn’t get enough of Suero’s Met Gala fit. Here are some of the best simp-worthy reactions we’ve seen on the internet.
