I directed Vogue’s Final Fitting ft. Bad Bunny
The real magic happens before the lights, before the stage, before history is made. I had the honor of directing Benito’s final grammys fitting with @schiaparelli as they crafted their first-ever menswear look.
What stayed with me wasn’t just witnessing history unfold, but the quiet moments in between. Benito and I had conversations about joy, anxiety, childhood and purpose. My intention was to showcase Benito not just as an artist, but as a human.
As an Afro-Latina, that experience felt powerful, grounding and deeply affirming, especially during these times. Grateful to create alongside people who lead with intention, culture and community.
Thank you to @voguemagazine and @badbunnypr team for the trust.
And huge shout out to my favorite DP/sister @fin.alis for always having my back and the most amazing Producer @chasedlewis . Y’all are magic.

BUCKLE UP!!!!!!!! 🛠️
Directed for Bad Bunny again, this time for the Met Gala 2026. 😎✨
Working with Benito again was so awesome but adding Mike Marino into this moment had me stunned. His artistry is one I’ve admired for years, especially as a student in theater and for the first time, I felt that my love for theater fully crossed into film because of his process. Witnessing it live, something we usually only see on screen, was an honor to capture. Thank you Mike for your passion and craft. I am so inspired.
As for Benito, the last time we worked together was in January, so it was really special to see him in a more relaxed, reflective space and share a few laughs throughout the day.
In line with this year’s Met Gala theme, Benito embraced the aging body as art, something we’re often taught to resist. Body ages- but the spirit doesn’t.
Process over performance, always.
Grateful for my team for allowing me to drive this vision forward. Thank you for creating space for me and my obsession with details.
Thank you @badbunnypr and @voguemagazine
