Valkyrae shares her red carpet fears
Gold House, a nonprofit fighting for socioeconomic equality for Asian Americans, put together its first annual Gold Gala. The event comes during Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and honors the most influential Americans of Asian descent.
Rae, who is of Filipino descent, was voted into the A100 list for 2022, earning her an invitation and honors at the gala. She was joined by dozens of other prominent Asian-American athletes, musicians, social media influencers, and business executives.
On her alternate Twitter account, she tweeted about some of her nerves and fears leading up to the gala. Before revealing her dress for the evening on her main account, she said that she was concerned about potentially tripping over it and falling while on the red carpet.
Later that evening, she tweeted out a picture of herself in the dress before heading to the Gold Gala.
Many friends and fans were supportive of the dress, giving her compliments under the tweet and congratulating her. Others wished her luck on her big night.
While her specific fear of tripping on the red carpet might not be something many are familiar with, the fear of embarrassing yourself in front of a large crowd is very real for most people.
Fortunately for her, she made it across the red carpet in her dress just fine that evening. Fans on Twitter posted numerous videos and photos of her at the Gala, and the night seemed to go without a hitch for the streamer.
