Millie Bobby Brown has missed recent Met Galas, notably in 2024, primarily due to filming commitments for the final season of Stranger Things, which often took her away from New York City. While there were past age restrictions (around 2018) that might have affected her attendance, her recent absences are more about scheduling conflicts with her major acting projects, as she focuses on evolving her personal style and business.
Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have yet to make a Met Gala appearance together—and this year was no different. Neither star attended the event, likely due to Brown's filming commitments.
Millie Bobby Brown has a disability of being deaf in one ear, having been born with partial hearing loss that eventually faded completely on that side, but she has never let it hinder her acting career, learning to perform without fully hearing herself and adapting to the industry's sound-based demands. She openly shares her experience with this unilateral deafness, emphasizing that it doesn't stop her from doing what she loves, like singing and acting, and inspiring others to pursue their passions despite limitations.
An insider told People that the Florence by Mills founder missed out on the event due to a recent injury. They claim that MBB is “still home” with a dislocated shoulder, which she had previously announced when she had skipped an appearance on Good Morning America alongside her co-star and bestie, Noah Schnapp.
"Traylor" fans everywhere were hoping that the "Karma" singer and the NFL star would walk the Met Gala red carpet together. However, neither Taylor Swift nor Travis Kelce were in attendance. The pair were both invited, but skipped the event due to their conflicting work schedules, sources told TMZ.
We know for sure Tim Gunn was banned from the Met Gala because he said as much in 2016. “It is very true. It is a crazy story, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a very matter-of-fact story. I was asked what is the most unforgettable thing I've ever seen in fashion and I said, 'It's easy.

The richest actor from Stranger Things is Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), with an estimated net worth of around $20 million, largely due to her starring roles, lucrative contracts for the show (earning hundreds of thousands per episode), and successful ventures like the Enola Holmes films and her Florence by Mills beauty brand.

Yes, Millie Bobby Brown has partial hearing loss in one ear from birth, which gradually led to complete deafness in that ear, but she doesn't let it hinder her acting career and uses it as motivation, often needing cues like a loud "action!" on set to start scenes.
Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Jane Fonda. The "9 to 5" cast of acting legends and fashion icons has never been at the big night. Fashion icon Dolly Parton has walked many red carpets, but never one for the Met Gala. Her "9 to 5" costars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin also haven't.
Variety reports that despite Millie Bobby Brown accusing David Harbour of harassment and bullying during the filming of the final season of Stranger Things, everything has been resolved and smoothed over internally.

Several iconic TV stars earned $1 million or more per episode, most famously the casts of Friends (Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer) and The Big Bang Theory (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco), who negotiated equal $1 million salaries for later seasons.

According to an interview with Variety Magazine, Millie was born with partial loss of hearing, and she says that her hearing then faded away over several years. This has, however, not stopped this rising star whose acting has greatly contributed to the success of the series Stranger Things.
Under pressure — and convinced Eleven's return to her former nightmare wouldn't be the same without her shaved head — Hindsgaul says she felt even more resolved to get it done.
But Will will be so much more powerful because this happened in The Upside Down where he has the powers of Vecna, not from Henry in The Right Side Up (Earth). So, Will is essentially 019 and has greater powers than Eight and Eleven.

Other frequently mentioned deaths include Heath Ledger, Prince, Carrie Fisher, Betty White, Michael Jackson, and Brittany Murphy, often due to unexpectedness or personal struggles.
