The Met Gala is a long night, kicking off in the late afternoon and wrapping around midnight. Not to mention, the evening doesn’t end after the famed fashion fundraiser held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute ends!<\/p>\n

Between the gala itself and the afterparties that follow, makeup and hair must remain intact; therefore, its crucial Newport locks in her look for the hours ahead.<\/p>\n

“Last minute touchups before making my way to ‘E! Live from the Red Carpet’!” she shares.<\/p>\n

Since the night is long, it’s very important to fuel up! Why do you think so many celebs sneak snacks into their purses before hitting the sartorial steps? (Or if you’re Tiffany Haddish in 2019, cooked chicken<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

“I needed to have a Panera Bread Chicken Caesar Salad Stuffer and a Cherry Lime Fresca to fuel up for the big night!” Newport tells PEOPLE of her pre-Gala meal.<\/p>\n
