Met Gala 2024: From Taylor Swift to Priyanka Chopra, These A-Listers Will NOT Be Attending the 'Oscars of Fashion' – Check the List

Oh, buckle up, because it's Met Gala season! It's like the Fashion Super Bowl, where the red carpet isn't just red, it's a whole runway extravaganza. Picture this: A-listers strutting their stuff up the Metropolitan Museum of Art's grand staircase in extra outfits that they practically redefine the word. Remember Lady Gaga's legendary four-outfit stunt in 2019? Or the oh-so-bold red carpet debut of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson in 2022 or Even Zendaya's magical blue Cinderella dress? It seems this night is always about something extra. From breathtaking couture gowns to avant-garde ensembles, the Met serves as a platform for designers and celebrities to push the boundaries of sartorial expression. This year Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny will co-chair the event. Met Gala 2024: Everything You Need to Know About Fashion's Spectacular Night, From Star-Studded Lineups to Style Forecasts and Trend Predictions.
