From Rihanna *gasp* to Sarah Jessica Parker, these are the celebrities who skipped out on the 2019 Met Gala red carpet. Plus, take a look at all the stars who did hit this year’s camp-themed festivities.
Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds
Recently debuting her baby bump at the Pokémon Detective Pikachu premiere, many fans thought that Lively and Reynolds would make another adorable appearance at this year’s Met Gala. However, the couple skipped out on the camp festivities.
Rihanna
Can the Met Gala red carpet really exist without Rihanna? Apparently so. After the Evening Standardreported that she hadn’t confirmed her attendance for this year’s festivities, fans spoke out on Twitter with predictions she would skip out. Some also pointed out her recent Instagram stating that she was in the U.K. promoting Fenty Beauty. This seems to be why she missed out this year, but that didn’t stop her from sharing a photo of who she thought was the winner of the camp red carpet.
Taylor Swift
Amal & George Clooney
After Amal Clooney co-hosted last year’s Met Gala, the Clooney’s seemed to have decided to sit this year out.
Ariana Grande
While Grande stunned at the 2018 Met Gala, early reports stated that she would be a no-show this year.
Justin Bieber
Justin and Hailey Bieber fans were excited to see the couple walk the Met Gala red carpet as husband and wife, but that didn’t end up being the case. Hailey walked solo in a skin-tight Alexander Wang look, while Justin was nowhere to be seen.

The actor took to Twitter and let fans know he wouldn’t be attending this year due to his shooting schedule. He also reminisced on last year’s event: “#MetGala2018 was an experience I’ll never forget. Had such a great night in @Versace.”
