She explained that she and Galliano “kind of played around with what we thought this topic meant.”

“Imagine you're having the best night of your entire life with the most charming person you have and you're in a park. I overslept, and then I wake up and it's literally the best night of your life and I'm almost out of breath,” she told the outlet. “My dress fell off.” Because it was one of those nights, and I grabbed my friend's jacket to escape and go where I needed to be.”

She joked that she often drives off at the end of events to “get to the (school) carpool” the next morning.

“I can only half sit,” she said.

She said during a red carpet interview that she lost 16 pounds so she could wear the dress.

“I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and carbs, and only eat the cleanest vegetables and protein,” she told Vogue.

“I didn't starve myself, but I was very strict,” she said.

Registered dietitian Frances Largeman-Roth previously told TODAY.com that these practices “can reduce water weight,” but they are “not safe for everyone.”

She explained, “Using a sauna suit can lead to dehydration, which may lead to the individual losing consciousness.” “These practices are definitely not safe for anyone with heart disease or diabetes.
