Rachel Sennott Stars in Marc Jacobs Campaign Mocking Met Gala Invite Obsession

The campaign, shot with a feverish, night-out energy, features cameos from Kareem Rahma of Subway Takes, Francesca Scorsese, Sandra Bernhard, True Whitaker, and Morgan Maher. Sennott's character tries going viral, sends champagne and gift cards, and navigates downtown New York landmarks like the East Broadway subway station, Dimes Square, and restaurant Lucien. The campaign is described by Sennott as capturing chaotic, funny moments of visibility and invisibility. The Met Gala is scheduled for May 4, leaving the outcome of her efforts ambiguous.
