See the Looks from the 2023 Met Gala And though Rihanna didn't attend the 2022 Met Gala due to her her first pregnancy, Vogue made sure to honor the Barbados native in quite unique fashion: By creating a digital rendering of a marble statue replicating her cover published that April.
The entire cast of "Friends" have never made Met Gala red-carpet appearances. Somehow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry have never attended the event.
At last, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have made their fashionably late arrival at the 2023 Met Gala.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna attend the 2023 Met Gala Celebrating "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2023 in New York City.
Only three out of the five Kardashian sisters attended the Met Gala tonight after a report claimed that none of the Kardashian-Jenners would be invited to the prestigious Upper East Side event. Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian missed this year's ball, while Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner attended.
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$32,000). Many celebrities who attend don't pay for their own ticket. Instead, the entry cost and costumes are bankrolled by major fashion houses.
The 2023 Met Gala was a star-studded evening, but some major A-listers sat the night out. Katy Perry, Kris Jenner, Blake Lively and more Met Gala mainstays did not walk the iconic steps on Monday night.
NEW YORK — After one pandemic shutdown and two years of recovery, the Met Gala was back in full force on the first Monday of May, which is to say that the red carpet featured two pregnancy reveals (congrats to Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss), three people dressed as cats, one very brave cockroach and one endless wait ...
They followed the arrival of Cardi B, who walked the carpet at about 8:45 p.m. ET, according to the TODAY.com team on site. Rihanna and A$AP arrived at 10:15 p.m. ET.
Rihanna has proven she is still the queen of the Met Gala following her 2023 look - here's every time she has taken the crown at the event. Rihanna has blown us all away with her red carpet looks for years, but Met Gala Rih has always held a special place in our hearts.
Beyoncé opted not to grace the Met Gala with her presence tonight. Her absence is understandable, though. Her Renaissance World Tour kicks off on May 10 in Stockholm, so she is likely in deep preparation for tour. Beyoncé hasn't been to the Met Gala now since 2016.
However! All was not lost, as Rihanna eventually made it to the Met Gala (even if it was just the afterparty…).
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.
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.
However, anyone who rocks up must be over the age of 18. Confirmation of this rule came in 2018 after Maddie Ziegler announced she wasn't allowed to head along as she was only 15. In response, the event's organiser told THR: "It's not an appropriate event for people under 18."
Anna Wintour even joked in her Vogue '73 Questions' interview that Rihanna is the only celebrity who is allowed to arrive late. But seriously, if anyone can get away with being late, it's Rihanna, who is currently pregnant with her second child.
Penélope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Roger Federer and Michaela Coel were in attendance after being announced as the co-chairs of the annual themed fashion exhibition. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who presides over the event, was also there.
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.
Why Ariana Grande Skipped MET Gala 2023. Ariana Grande did not attend the MET Gala 2023 held in New York City on Monday evening. The singer is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film, The Wicked in London and hence chose not to fly down to attend the event.
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.

So, can anyone who can afford a ticket go? Unfortunately not. Unlike other charity events, the Met Gala is invitation only and there is a waiting list to get a ticket. According to The New York Times, invitations are typically based on a person's status.
"A celebrity can be as involved or uninvolved as they want in choosing and designing their Met Gala looks," Jordan explained. "Celebrities, for the most part though, hire stylists to spearhead the project and put their trust in them.
The MET Gala raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, where a collection of more than 33,000 pieces of clothing, jewellery, and accessories that documents fashion from the 1400s to now is displayed to anyone who buys a ticket to the museum.
