Rachel Zegler Takes a Break from Tragedy to Party Like It’s 1999

Rachel Zegler is booked, busy, and bopping between centuries. On her rare night off from dying dramatically in Romeo + Juliet on Broadway, the 23-year-old starlet swapped Verona’s heartbreak for Y2K chaos. The occasion? The premiere of her shiny new A24 flick, Y2K, where floppy disks and questionable fashion reign supreme.

Rachel hit the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City on Monday night (November 18), looking like she just Googled “Y2K aesthetic” and nailed it. She was joined by her co-star Jaeden Martell, director Kyle Mooney, and a smattering of other important names like Lachlan Watson and Kyle’s writing partner, Evan Winter—aka the brains behind the whole nostalgia-fueled mess.

What’s Y2K about, you ask? Glad you did. Imagine it’s New Year’s Eve, 1999. You’re at a high school party (because of course), the internet’s a baby, and someone whispers, “What if all the computers DIE at midnight?” Instead of just enjoying some pizza rolls, these two juniors decide to turn the chaos knob to eleven. Cue a “dial-up disaster comedy” where the only thing scarier than Y2K is your mom trying to use AOL Instant Messenger.

The movie drops in theaters on December 6, so clear your schedule and maybe dust off your Tamagotchi.

Meanwhile, Rachel is juggling two timelines like a pro. By day (or night, technically), she’s channeling Juliet on Broadway, proving love is tragic and iambic pentameter is sexy. But Mondays? Mondays are for premieres, baby! She’ll be breaking hearts through February, so you’ve got time to catch her and her Y2K antics.

TL;DR: Rachel Zegler’s got one foot in the 1500s, the other in 1999, and she’s absolutely thriving.
