The highly anticipated Met Gala took place on Monday night, but some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry were notably absent from the red carpet.
Fans had been speculating for weeks about whether or not Taylor Swift would attend the event with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. However, on Monday night, it was confirmed that the pop star would not be making an appearance at the party of the year.
Joining Swift in her absence were other notable celebrities like Beyoncé and Rihanna. While Beyoncé had not been expected to attend, Rihanna had been a highly anticipated presence on the Met Gala steps. Unfortunately, the singer had to miss the event due to a bout of the flu.
Rihanna, who has become a fashion icon in recent years, has made waves with her bold and innovative Met Gala looks. Her absence this year was felt by many fans who were looking forward to seeing what she would wear on the red carpet.
Despite the absence of these major stars, the gala still attracted a number of A-list celebrities like Zendaya and Jennifer Lopez. However, many fans took to social media to express their disappointment over the lack of Rihanna at the event.
Both Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have not attended the Met Gala since 2016, but their influence in the fashion world remains strong. Swift, in particular, has been making waves with her recent album and world tour, while Beyoncé continues to push boundaries with her fashion choices.
Even without physically being at the Met Gala, Beyoncé’s impact on the fashion industry is undeniable. As one of the most influential figures in music and fashion, her absence was certainly felt at this year’s event.
