20 Celebrities Who Skipped The Met Gala This Year
Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Beyoncé skipped her second Met Gala in a row tonight: last year, she was pregnant with twins, and this year, she’s reportedly going on vacation with Jay Z before they go on tour together next month.

Lady Gaga

For the second year in a row, Gaga skipped out on the Met Gala. Last year, she was shooting A Star Is Born, but we dont yet know what kept her away this time—especially since the theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” was so perfectly on-brand for her.

Taylor Swift

The “Delicate” singer also skipped her second Met Gala in a row

Kanye West

Kim Kardashian attended this year’s Met Gala solo, and it’s unclear whether West’s recent controversies had anything to do with his absence.
