This year's Met Gala strutted its stuff without some of the usual celebrity suspects. While the event typically serves as Hollywood's runway extravaganza, a few big names decided to RSVP "No" this time around. Whether they were too busy jet-setting, too wrapped up in their glam affairs, or simply indulging in a much-needed hiatus from the limelight, their absence was noted. But fear not, darling! The red carpet still sizzled with jaw-dropping looks from those who did make an appearance, proving that the show must go on, with or without the usual suspects.
