Last night, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the entire senior staff of Vogue came to watch In Vogue: The Editor’sEye, a documentary that celebrates the 120th anniversary of the magazine by showing how the images inside actually come together at photo shoots With Anna & Co. present, watching themselves on-camera, it felt like a pretty intimidating room, so the Cut obviously made it worse by asking models and celebrities in attendance —Arizona Muse, Christina Ricci, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Girls’ Zosia Mametamong them — what it’s like getting dressed to meet with ambassador Anna. While Ricci said a visit to 4 Times Square made her nervous, Mamet was unfazed in her red Carven cutout number: “I was like, oh my God, all the editors. Then I found something I felt really comfortable in,” she told the Cut, “and I doubt Anna Wintour gives a shit about what I’m wearing.” Click through to see who else walked the carpet and what they wore in the presence of Vogue.

Jenna LyonsDo you remember the first time you met Anna Wintour? I almost knocked her over. I was going to be shot for Vogue. And she came in to say hello, to see what they were picking as an outfit and I had on these wedge, wooden Chloe shoes and I took a step forward and they didn’t bend and I wasn’t used to them and I seriously – I am not kidding you – I almost planted my face onto her forehead. It was the worst experience. How did she react? Like nothing ever happened. Photo: Theo Wargo/2012 Getty Images

Christina Ricci NYM: Do you remember the first time you met Anna? I’m always nervous going up to the Vogue offices. Everyone always looks perfect, and I think it’s only natural to feel like you don’t look perfect, and certainly being five foot one, everyone’s always very tall. So it’s very intimidating. But I think a sense of fashion and an appreciation of individuality really does prevail over there.

Hamish BowlesWas there anything that really shocked or surprised you? Well, I just liked how sort of real all the editors were and how you really got an acute sense of what they’re all about really – what they’re each about. And that’s a challenging thing to capture on film I think. Photo: Theo Wargo/2012 Getty Images

Vera WangA lot of people are intimidated by the Vogue staff. I was quite intimidated by Polly [Mellen] and I also was a sittings editor. When you sit next to God, and you share an office for ten years, the two of us and our two assistants, it’s totally intimidating. Photo: Theo Wargo/2012 Getty Images

Carlyne Cerf De DudzeeleYou said in the documentary that grunge was a dark moment for you. Yeah, because me, I love sexy ladies. I love beautiful woman. So grunge was not at all my period.

Max Osterweis and Erin BeattyDoes anyone in your family dare buy you clothes for Christmas? Only if I request literally the style number and correct size of said piece. Last year I got Christian Louboutin spiky flats. It was a good gift. It was a communal gift. Oh! And then I got this once for a birthday – a Celine red bag. So yeah – especially accessories I end up requesting. Photo: Theo Wargo/2012 Getty Images

Arizona MuseDo you remember what you were wearing the first time you met Anna Wintour? I was wearing black ACNE jeans and a Narciso Rodriguez silk kind of vest. I wanted to be casual so I’d be really comfortable. I didn’t want to feel overdressed.
