Why Blake Lively Skipped the Met Gala 2024?
Blake Lively didn’t show up at the Met Gala in 2024, and people were curious about why. Well, last year, she didn’t go either because she had just had her fourth baby. She posted a picture of herself at home with the baby, but she still hasn’t said what they named the baby, even a year later. Maybe this year, she will stay home again because the baby is still little!
But there could be other reasons too. Like, maybe she’s busy working on a new movie. Or she might be getting ready for a big press tour for a movie she’s in. Fans were really hoping she’d be at the Gala this year because she was out in New York City last week for another event, but she didn’t go.
The last time Blake went to the Met Gala was in 2022. She wore a dress that looked like the Statue of Liberty, which is in New York City. She said she wanted to show off New York City’s architecture with her dress. Her favorite Met Gala look ever was in 2018 when she wore another amazing dress. She said she helped design it herself, and she joked that maybe she’s so picky because she’s a Virgo.
So, we don’t know for sure why Blake didn’t go to the Met Gala this year, but maybe she just wanted to stay home with her baby or she’s busy with other things. We miss seeing her there, though, and hopefully, she’ll be back next year.
Who attended the Met Gala in 2024?
In 2024, the Met Gala was led by some very famous people. Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny served as co-chairs, overseeing responsibilities to ensure everything ran smoothly. They worked with Anna Wintour, who is very important in the fashion industry.
There were also two special chairs, Shou Chew, CEO of TikTok, and Jonathan Anderson, the creative director of Loewe. They attended the event to show support and assist in raising funds for the museum's Costume Institute. The Met Gala is famous for bringing in many famous people from the worlds of fashion, entertainment, and more.
It's an opportunity for them to showcase their unique style and creativity while also contributing to a worthy cause. Therefore, even though these individuals were in charge of the event, there were definitely many other famous people present, dressed in amazing clothes and having a good time during the event.
Who was absent from the Met Gala?
Several famous people did not attend the Met Gala this year. Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and Lady Gaga, who are famous for their fashionable looks at previous Met Galas, did not attend this year's event. Although they were not present, their previous fashion choices at the Gala made a lasting impact on both the attendees and fans.
Rihanna couldn't go because she had the flu, as per reports from People and Entertainment Tonight. USA TODAY has reached out to her representatives for confirmation. In 2024, the Met Gala's theme was "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," which asked guests to show how they understood the theme. Although those famous celebrities were not there, the Kardashian-Jenner family, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, Bad Bunny, Zendaya, and Emma Chamberlain added their own styles to the event and made the evening glamorous.
Met Gala
The Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, is an annual high-profile event held in New York City. The event is organized to collect funds for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This event is really well-known in the fashion world and is considered the most elegant and glamorous fashion event of the year.
Getting invited to the Met Gala is a really big deal. Vogue magazine invites famous people from different fields like fashion, movies, TV, music, and more. In 2024, the tickets for the Gala are very pricey, coming in at $75,000 each. The Gala happens on the first Monday of May and begins with the opening of the Costume Institute's yearly fashion display.
Those attending the Gala must wear elegant attire that fits the exhibit's theme. Since 1995, Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, has been in charge of organizing the Gala. In the past years, the Met Gala has grown beyond being just an event in New York. It has grown to include more people from different countries all around the world.
