Aimee Lou Woodis grateful to have a travel buddy at the 2025 Met Gala.
In fact, in order to ease her nerves, the White Lotus star attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Benefit in New York City May 5—co-chaired this year by Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams and Vogue’s Anna Wintour—alongside her costar Patrick Schwarzenegger.
“I feel very spaced out,” Aimee Lou told E! News’ Zuri Hall at the event. “I’m struggling to find my words. My mouth is really dry. But Patrick—thank god. He was like, ‘I’m going. Should we go together in the car?’ And I said, ‘Yes, please.’”
The Sex Education star—who donned a black suit-dress combo with slicked back hair—added, “So, we came in the car together and that had made everything a lot less scary.” (See all the stars attending the Met Gala at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art here.)
But, as Aimee described, her and Patrick’s friendship goes deeper than just checking into and out of Thailand together.
“I always say I think he was my dad in a past life,” she continued. “I just immediately feel so safe with him. He’s the safest, kindest person and he’s so solid. You just can’t feel nervous or scared when Patrick’s around. He’s just the most pure person, I can’t describe it.”
And, as it turns out, Patrick—who wore a Balmain suit over a silk yellow dress shirt—actually mirrored his friend’s emotions about the night perfectly.
“It’s been great,” he told E! News. “It’s great to come to an event like this with your friend.”
He continued, “It’s kind of terrifying for me to come, I get nervous. So to come with a friend has been nice.”
