As per Page Six, she said, "I'm not gonna lie, I had a blast... It was so awesome and then I spent the rest of the night cutting a rug [...] with like Emma Thompson. It was fabulous. I had a great time. Baz Luhrmann came and found me and he was like, 'I think you're great, that was fun, I had fun,' and I was like, 'Work! That's a win, you guys.' And apparently, gay Twitter seemed to like it."
