At the 2021
In the weeks leading up to the event, rumors spread that Hailey wouldn't attend after a screenshot of a DM she allegedly sent spread on social media. “I'm not going to the Met Gala this year,” the message read. “Gearing up for our next Rhode launch so decided to sit this one out but will be back next year.”
After skipping the last two Met Galas, Miley Cyrus unfortunately didn't end her absentee streak. The singer opted not to attend tonight's “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line in Beauty” Met Gala, despite rumors she was confirmed to attend.
As a recent host of the Met Gala, fans were surprised to see that Timothée Chalamet didn't make an appearance at this year's event. The actor was a major part of the 2021 Gala, which he co-hosted with poet Amanda Gorman, singer Billie Eilish, and tennis star Naomi Osaka, but hasn't attended since.
Gomez had been grabbing dinner with her little sister then. The sighting confirmed that while Gomez was in New York recently to shoot her TV series Only Murders in the Building's third season, she left the city after it wrapped to take a break.
Ariana Grande did not attend the MET Gala 2023 held in New York City on Monday evening. The singer is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film, The Wicked in London and hence chose not to fly down to attend the event.
She has missed the event for the fifth year in a row. Ariana Grande's Met Gala hiatus has officially been extended. The international pop star has missed fashion's biggest night for the fifth year in a row.
?????, no. The Met Gala is invitation only, and Anna Wintour is in charge of the guest list…to the point where even if a designer/brand spends the money to buy an entire table, Anna still dictates who they get to invite.
So it's a possibility that, in between filming and press junkets for her other projects (she was spotted at CinemaCon last week with Dune co-star Timothée Chalamet), Z just didn't have time to attend the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual fundraiser. She's booked and busy, besties!
Harry Styles was notably absent from the 2023 Met Gala, a huge blow for those of us who were hoping he'd once again show up in a billowing sheer blouse. And apparently, his decision to skip the event had everything to do with not wanting to run into Olivia Wilde and Emily Ratajkowski.
ICYMI, Millie Bobby Brown and her new fiancé Jake Bongiov didn't manage to step out for what would have been the actor's very first Met Gala, which is v sad. But (!!!) we'll chalk it up to the fact that they're probs both just celebrating being newly engaged, über successful celebs, lol.
Miley Cyrus
Miley hasn't been to the Met Gala since 2019 and she skipped last year because she was touring in South Africa.
The guest list handed out to reporters was more than seven pages long — but there were some big names missing. NEW YORK — The Met Gala, known for its extravagant themes and outfits, has a highly secretive guest list exclusively picked by Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Sources close to the "Satellite" singer revealed to Daily Mail that he skipped out on the festivities to avoid running into his ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
While the Grammy winner has yet to speak out about her absence, it's likely that she's merely enjoying a well-earned break from her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace.
Her absence is understandable, as she just played three shows in Atlanta, Georgia for her Eras tour, including one last night. E! confirmed her absence and reported that Swift is spending the evening preparing for her Nashville shows this upcoming weekend.
But good things come to those who wait: about four hours after the red carpet started, Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky finally made their appearance at the Met Gala. Rihanna might have missed the red carpet, but that doesn't mean she didn't make a dramatic entrance.
In fact he went ahead and said as much in an interview with GQ. “Now, it's not something I would go to,” he said, via Just Jared. “I'd rather be sitting at my house, doing something productive, than dressing up in really expensive clothes and being photographed on a red carpet….
It has been reported that the most expensive dress ever worn at the Met Gala was Marilyn Monroe's golden gown. Six decades after Monroe wore this famous outfit, Kim Kardashian decided to pay tribute to the late singer by putting it on at Met Gala 2022.
Unlike other charity events, the Met Gala is invitation only and there is a waiting list to get a ticket.
Given that many dresses are custom-made for the Met Gala or are pulled from designer's couture archives, it's rare that celebrities are allowed to keep their gowns. More often than not, they go back to the design house to be archived.
The Daily Mail reported that Bey and husband Jay-Z were vacationing over the weekend in a private island near Miami. Plus, Beyoncé is currently preparing for her Renaissance Tour, which kicks off just a few days after the Met Gala on May 10 in Stockholm.
The pop icon failed to show up to fashion's biggest night today, held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. And while she was missed, fans know it often takes a lot to get Beyoncé on a red carpet. The "CUFF IT" singer also skipped the 2022 and 2021 Met Galas.
Blake Lively announced last week that she wouldn't be attending the Met Gala. Last night she shared a photo of what she was doing instead — pumping at home. Lively is a mom of four, including a newborn.
