Justin and Hailey Bieber The Biebers have skipped fashion's biggest night. Though both are yet to comment on their absence, they were recently spotted enjoying a casual weekend together in Los Angeles.
Another luxury absentee is definitely Britney Spears, who, despite her regained fame in recent years, has never managed to secure an invitation from Anna Wintour, as well as Dolly Parton, who with eight Grammys under her belt and a career as a true music icon, deserves more than anyone else to walk on the Met Gala red ...
Beyoncé once again skipped the Met Gala—and it's really no surprise. 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.
In a widely circulated screenshot of the conversation, she allegedly wrote, “I'm not going to the Met this year gearing up for our next rhode launch so decided to sit this one out but will be back next year." Hailey Bieber's alleged explanation for her absence holds water.
This year, many people who have become Met Gala staples - like Kris Jenner, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Zendaya, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Katy Perry - were no-shows at the dazzling party, leaving many to wonder if their absence was because they were axed by the famously-icy ...
The 2023 Met Gala has come and gone—and Zendaya was nowhere to be found. She hasn't yet explained why she skipped the star-studded event, but her absence probably comes as no surprise to fans who have noted that she hasn't been to the Met Gala in four years.
Just because you receive an invitation does not mean you don't have to pay to get in. Tickets are more than $52,000 (US$32,000). Many celebrities who attend don't pay for their own ticket. Instead, the entry cost and costumes are bankrolled by major fashion houses.
And apparently, his decision to skip the event had everything to do with not wanting to run into Olivia Wilde and Emily Ratajkowski. The Daily Mail spoke to a source who said, “Harry was invited to the Met Gala, but knowing that both of them were definitely going, he avoided it like it was the bubonic plague.”
Ariana is currently shooting in England for the project hence this could have been the reason behind her skipping the event. Adding a full stop to the speculations by special media platforms that the Oscar-nominated actress Lady Gaga will be walking the red carpet, the actress didn't attend the night.
The relationship is reciprocal: Couples also love the Met Gala, probably because it's one high-profile event where red carpet interaction is minimal. But the relationship is toxic — couples who debut their relationships at the Met Gala often don't make it beyond its glitzy barricades. Call it the Met Gala curse.
Why is the Met Gala so secretive? Celebrities who go to the Met Gala are banned from taking any social media photos from inside the event. The rule apparently came into play because as it was, guests were spending too much time on their phones and not being present for the high-brow evening.
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.
Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue and the lead chairperson of the Gala event since 1995 (excluding 1996 and 1998), oversees both the benefit committee and the guest list, with Vogue staffers helping to assemble the list of invitees.
The red carpet was graced by top stars from around the world- showcasing their interpretation of the theme with one-of-a-kind looks. Some of the most talked about celebrities of the night on Twitter were Jennie, Rihanna, Doja Cat, Anne Hathaway, and Cardi B.
Being associated with someone who is already invited to the Met Gala may also increase your chances of receiving an invitation, as guests are often allowed to bring their plus one.
Each year, the Met Gala is one of the most exclusive events in art and fashion with guests ranging from reality TV stars to musicians, and even the occasional royal family member. While you must be invited personally by Vogue director Anna Wintour, that doesn't mean you don't have to purchase a ticket first.
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.
As of writing, no member of BTS has ever attended the Met Gala, and that will be the case for a while due to all seven members taking part in their mandatory military duties in South Korea.
Blake Lively, a guest who has been a staple at the Met Gala for years, won't be attending. The 35-year-old actress told PEOPLE last week that fans should not expect her attendance this year, but that she "will be watching." Timothée Chalamet and Pete Davidson are also out of this year's event.
During her tour, news broke of her breakup with Joe Alwyn, she reportedly headed to Liverpool to shoot a music video, and she was also spotted leaving Electric Lady Studios in New York City (perhaps new music is on the way? 👀). Needless to say, she's busy.
The actor just welcomed her fourth baby a few months ago so, we get it. Fans won't be seeing Blake Lively make her annual strut down the red carpet at this year's Met Gala. The Gossip Girl actor confirmed Thursday while attending the star-studded reopening of Tiffany & Co.
Eilish's attendance at the Met Gala was a major milestone for the young singer. She is the youngest person to ever attend the event, and her presence was a testament to her growing influence in the music and fashion industries.
