From hosting the live stream of this year's Met Gala red carpet to making sure New York's fash pack gets their Fashion Week sustenance the eco way, Elettra Wiedemann has been having a very busy year. And as she told us at this week's Coach Carnival in New York City, her Summer is about to get even busier.

"I'm getting married," the model revealed. "Next week, just at City Hall. I'm having a tiny, tiny wedding."

As if nuptial-planning weren't enough, Wiedemann also shared another activity that's sure to be taking up plenty of time — and energy: "I'm training for a triathlon," she explained. "My fiancé and I train together on a triathlon team. I'm not a great runner, and this is my first year on a road bike with my feet clipped in. Navigating New York City traffic with clipped-in feet has been quite scary, and becoming a better runner has been quite challenging. But I'm getting there — slowly!"

So what does Wiedemann keep stocked in her busy Summer arsenal of wardrobe go-tos? "Equipment shirts — I live in Equipment shirts. They're so light and so beautiful and they look elegant but they're not annoying, you know? They don't obstruct your day."

And what about the Summer's most important ensemble, the one she'll wear when she walks down the aisle? "Oh, no, don't ask," she laughed. "I haven't figured it out yet!"

"I got it at a vintage store in SoHo, and it was in the bottom of a barrel. It's one of my favorites," Wiedemann said.

>> The Metropolitan Museum will broadcast the red-carpet arrivals for its Costume Institute Gala for the first time ever this year, and viewers can choose among three websites to watch it on.

Vogue.com, MetMuseum.org, and Amazon.com — which is sponsoring this year's exhibit, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations — will all live stream the celebrities and designers walking into the museum from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on May 7. Fashion journalist and longtime Vogue contributor William Norwich and model Elettra Wiedemann will man the red carpet, interviewing notable attendees like Anna Wintour, Miuccia Prada, and Carey Mulligan.

Viewers can submit questions for Norwich and Wiedemann to ask celebrities on Twitter with the hashtag #metquestions. The live stream will also include pretaped segments about the Costume Institute's history and this year's exhibit.

While the live streams won't differ across the three sites, the Met's website will feature additional content and information about the exhibit, including interviews with its curators Andrew Bolton and Harold Koda. Vogue's site, meanwhile, will focus on giving readers an inside look at the gala and a video of this year's unknown musical guest.
